My friend's company had been distributor of Awakening's titles including Sami's albums since late 2003 until early 2006. Awakening have cheated people repeatedly. Their 'victims' are spread everywhere from London to Cairo and Karachi to Chicago. They even cheated my friend by secretly selling their titles directly to the shops in UK, at rock bottom prices to make quick bucks, which was obviously a violation of their contract with their distributor. There are similar stories to be told by distributors across Middle East, Europe and rest of the world against Awakening.

They have done this with Sami as well. He joined them in good faith, without any written contract, just as a friend to help them. He had NO commitment to give them 5 albums or so. However, they secretly prepared a contract and got it signed by him using deception. Explicit details can not be discussed here due to legal reasons but might be published later. Therefore, please don't be judgmental.

Those who either have a sea of sympathy for Awakening or are paid by Awakening to post articles and comments here; how would you feel if you were Sami and had no access and control over your own website, had no say on what is published on it, had no access to your emails, had no transparency in anything? won't you feel hijacked? That is exactly what has happened with Sami. He is too nice to just say a few words to express his experience but believe me there is loads more to that.

Summary: Sami has been cheated by Awakening, just the way others had been. Please support him, he is not asking for much. And if you don't believe me, visit Awakening's website, get the details of their UK distributor 'Monorise Distribution' off their website, and phone them to ask the truth. They will guide you to many others with similar stories to tell you.

Oh yes, one last thing, Awakening are supported by a large political and religious group (more like a cult) , and they have very strong support and backing, therefore, don't be surprised if you find hundreds of negative remarks against Sami on the net. You should know the agenda.

May Allah put us back on the right path and we STOP hurting His 'mankind' as in our greed we forget that the main subject of all Divine revelation is focused on one thing - Mankind. So if Mankind is so important to God then why we do all in our power to destroy, humiliate, torture, deceive, rip off, cheat etc, this 'Mankind'. Why do we forget about two basic rights, Allah's rights (Huqook Allah) and Mankind's rights (Huqook al Iba'd)?

Oh Allah please help us out of our miserable states, help us, help us see the light, help us come out of our pathetic states so that we love each other and don’t cause mischief (Ameen).

Salam I just want to ask if that site is serious, and if that \"fake\" blabla. is right? Thank you

3. Ebaa

on the "What do we want?" part of the main page, you wrote "so they did so of their own accord, illegally." at the end of the eighth line, and that is incorrect. They did it legally, or else sami's lawyers would have gotten his rights which they didn't. If you already knew that and still spread the info as it is, then you're lying to the readers which is haram, but if you didn't know then you should either correct the info or correct my knowledge of the situation. may allah be with you always

Seriously dont you have nothing better to do then create a website like this. Im glad awakening has disassociated themselves with Sami, his a pop artist not a nasheed artist he uses music and corrupts the youth seriously go do something productive.
