Omar Esa's album 'Allah and His Beloved' recently peaked at #3 on the UK Album Charts. This week, our host Salim speaks to Omar, trying to find the answer to the question: "How does a Nasheed album make its way into the top 10?". They talk about his journey into the industry, how he got into music as a young adult and how that brought him closer to his faith, ultimately evolving into the career he has now. Omar shares how his story has developed so far, making it clear that he is nowhere near done, and that he intends on one day achieving his goal of being the top artist in the world.
