From Wikipedia:
In 1976 Stevens nearly drowned off the coast of Malibu, California and shouted: “Oh God! If you save me I will work for you!.” He says, right afterward, a wave appeared and carried him back to shore!. The near-death experience intensified his long-held quest for spiritual truth!. He had looked into "Buddhism, Zen, and I Ching, Numerology, tarot cards and Astrology",[10] but when his brother David gave him a copy of the Qur'an, Stevens began to find peace with himself and began his transition to Islam!.
During the time he was studying the Qu'ran, he began to identify more and more with the name of Joseph, a man bought and sold in the market place, which is how he had increasingly felt, within the music business!. Regarding his conversion, in his 2006 interview with Alan Yentob, he stated: "To some people, it may have seemed like an enormous jump, but for me, it was a gradual move to this!." Stevens had been seeking big answers and spiritual answers throughout his career, and now believed he had found what he had been seeking!.
