Best Answer

When he was in Morocco, he heard the call of a muezzin and was told that the call was "music for God". That was a new concept which moved him.

He almost drowned off the coast of Malibu, and promised God that he would work for Him if he was saved.

Cat Stevens explored many religions but found peace with Islam.

He converted to Islam because, when he was young, he contracted tuberculosis. He was on the brink of death when he was admitted to hospital, but he recovered. During his recovery time, he began to re-evaluate his life, and this is when he decided to convert.

Is Cat Stevens third in line to be Ayatollah?

No. Cat Stevens is in no way affiliated with any of the Shiite Islamic Clergy where he could become an Ayatollah. There are numerous Ayatollahs and many sheikhs, muftis, and faqihs just waiting for the possibility of promotion to the ranks of the Ayatollahs. They are the ones who will accede to that rank, not Cat Stevens.

Why did cat Stevens change his name to yusuf Islam?

Not too long ago he was denied re-entry into the United States because he is a Muslim and was using his other name (not sure if it was his given name, adopted Muslim name, or what). It was an outrage because he is a peaceful individual who works to promote peace. (Maybe that was their problem with him.)
