Maher’s first musical inspiration came from his father, who was a singer himself, performing locally in the beautiful Mediterranean city of Tripoli - Lebanon. Fascinated by the music and instruments, Maher got his first keyboard when he was only ten and ever since music officially became part of Maher’s world.
The family moved to Sweden when Maher was only 8, where he continued his schooling, and later entered university and got a Bachelors degree in Aeronautical Engineering. With things changing around him, one thing remained the same - his strong passion for music. He would spend late nights at school with his friends where they would sing, rap, compose and experiment with music in every way. It didn’t take him long to realize that music became an integral part of who he is.
After being involved for a while in the music scene in Sweden as a music producer, Maher was introduced to RedOne, a gifted music producer who was fast rising in the music scene in Sweden. Maher started working with RedOne with Swedish artists, and later moved with him to New York. For a few years he was in the middle of the hot rush of the NY music industry, working with chart topping artists such as Kat Deluna on her debut album which included smash hits ‘Whine up’ and ‘Run the Show’.
In January 2009, Maher Zain signed up and began working on an album with Awakening Records. Maher’s debut album Thank You Allah reached the number 1 spot on Amazon.com World Music charts and number 9 on the R&B charts.
Maher had what many would describe as a dream job for someone so young in such a glamorous business, but for Maher it felt like this was far from what he would call ‘the dream’, “I loved the music but I hated everything that surrounded it, it always felt like something wasn’t right”. RedOne was on the verge of breaking into the big time, going on to work with artists like Akon, Lady Gaga, Enrique Iglesias, Brandy, New Kids on the Block, and Michael Jackson to mention just a few, and becoming one of the most sought-after music producers in the world. Maher however was restless and eventually decided that the music industry and all that surrounded wasn’t the right place for him and he returned to Sweden. It wasn’t until he met a group of brothers who were active in the Islamic community in Stockholm and he started regularly attending his local mosque that he felt like he’d reached ‘home’.
Maher feels blessed to able to finally find the right way, and feels like it’s his turn now to help others through his music to do the same: “If I had one thing I’d like to tell people out there it would be that it’s so easy to see the right way if we just open our eyes and look properly; that’s what happened to me.”
Maher Zain announced that he had released a Malay version for "Insha Allah", having released French and Arabic version along with videos already, while adding that it would be a track on his second album.
Maher has now commenced working on his new studio album which will be released in April 2011. No title has yet been announced. Maher sang a portion of a song from the album without backing music in a morning talk show slot at Malaysia's television channel, TV9. Maher explained that the song, a dedication to his mother, would be a "happy" song, as opposed to the usual songs dedicated to mothers that "are sad, and you want to cry listening to those."
great singer ever :)

You've found your home, it's here with me
And I'm here with you
Now let me let you know
You've opened my heart
I was always thinking that love was wrong
But everything was changed when you came along
Oh, and there's a couple of words I wanna say
For the rest of my life
I'll be with you
I'll stay by your side honest and true
'Til the end of my time
I'll be loving you, loving you
For the rest of my life
Through days and nights
I'll thank Allah for opening my eyes
Now and forever I, I'll be there for you
I know it deep in my heart
I feel so blessed when I think of you
And I ask Allah to bless all we do
You're my wife and my friend and my strength
And I pray we're together in Jannah
Finally now I found myself, I feel so strong
Guess everything was changed when you came along
Oh, and there's a couple of words I wanna say
For the rest of my life

Hi there!
Reading your message put a big smile on my face.
It reminded me 2 verses from the Quran:
Holy Qur’an, al-Anfal 24: “O you who believe! Respond to God and to the Messenger when the Messenger calls you (in the Name of God) to that which gives you life; and know well that surely God "intervenes" between a person and his heart (to cause his heart to swerve); and that He it is to Whom you will be gathered.”
Holy Qur’an, al-An’am 125: So whoever Allah wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islam
It seems like Allah is guiding your heart!

Indonesia translation :
Aku bersyukur kau di sini kasih
Di kalbuku mengiringi
Dan padamu ingin ku sampaikan
Kau cahaya hati
Dulu ku palingkan diri dari cinta
Hingga kau hadir ubah segalanya
Oh inilah janjiku kepadamu
Sepanjang hidup bersamamu
Kesetiaanku tulus untukmu
Hingga akhir waktu kaulah cintaku cintaku
Sepanjang hidup seiring waktu
Aku bersyukur atas hadirmu
Kini dan selamanya aku milikmu
Yakini hatiku
Kau anugerah Sang Maha Rahim
Semoga Allah berkahi kita
Kekasih penguat jiwaku
Berdoa kau dan aku di Jannah
Ku temukan kekuatanku di sisimu
Kau hadir sempurnakan seluruh hidupku
Oh inilah janjiku kepadamu
Sepanjang hidup bersamamu
Kesetiaanku tulus untukmu
Hingga akhir waktu kaulah cintaku cintaku
Sepanjang hidup seiring waktu
Aku bersyukur atas hadirmu
Kini dan selamanya aku milikmu
Yakini hatiku
Bersamamu ku sadari inilah cinta
Tiada ragu dengarkanlah
Kidung cintaku yang abadi
Sepanjang hidup bersamamu
Kesetiaanku tulus untukmu
Hingga akhir waktu kaulah cintaku cintaku
Sepanjang hidup seiring waktu
Aku bersyukur atas hadirmu
Kini dan selamanya aku milikmu
Yakini hatiku
