In the early 2000s, he sang tenor in a college a cappella group and played his acoustic guitar at local coffee shops. Raef was introduced to the national stage after his trio rock-band "Great Seneca" toured the United States as part of the "Voices for Change" initiative. Shortly afterwards, Raef joined the "Poetic Vision Tour" - a band of traveling musicians and poets dedicated to inspiring a spiritual and cultural renewal. More recently, Raef started working with Awakening Records and in 2014 released his debut album "The Path" , a collection of songs that reflects his identity as an American Muslim and his journey throughout the years.<br /><br />-------------------------<br /><br />IT'S JUMUAH - LYRICS:<br /><br />5AM Waking up for Fajr<br />Got to make Wudu, got to pray my Sunnah<br />Got to make Ghusl, got to clip my nails<br />Looking outside, the sun is rising up in the sky<br />Everybody's rushing<br />Got to get down to the masjid<br />Got to say "Salam!" to the Imam<br /><br />Sitting in the first Saff (row), chilling in the back Saff (row)<br />Got to make my mind up...
