Sami Yusuf, star of a Muslim charity concert for Darfur Sunday, sings to the glory of Allah, but insists he is not a religious artist.

Largely unknown here in the country where he grew up, the 27-year-old has become a huge star in the Muslim world, selling millions of records, and dubbed "Islam's biggest rock star" by Time magazine.

On Sunday evening he was topping the bill at A Concert for Peace in Darfur at London's Wembley Arena, dubbed a "Muslim Live 8" by some commentators after the anti-poverty global charity concerts in July 2005.
