MHMD is the pseudonym of one of the founding members of the American Muslim rock band 7 Stations. He was born into a family of Irish-American Muslim converts, and inherited his father’s passion for music, as both an avid listener and guitarist. His parents converted to Islam in England in the early 1970s and joined a Sufi community that was rooted in the teachings, guidance, and poetry of the late Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-Habib from Morocco (may Allah be pleased with him). The first album by 7 Stations, entitled “ELECTRIC DIWAN,” is a compilation of Rock style renditions and interpretations of traditional Islamic songs.
