Sami Yusuf claimed that this album was released without his prior "blessings nor consent". He stated: "I therefore wish to make it perfectly clear that an album comprised of any such recordings could only be put on to the market against my wishes and without my approval."^[1] Yusuf subsequently stated on his website that the album was released without his knowledge or consent, and is a compilation of demos and sketches with a quality inferior to his standards. He has called for fans to boycott it.^[1][2] The contractual dispute lasting from 2008 to 2009 lead to Yusuf legally separating from Awakening Records, completely disowning this album, and claiming that Wherever You Are released with ETM International is his real third album.

Yusuf has edited many of the tracks on this album and re-released them on his latter albums that have been released under his current record label ETM International, this includes the tracks, "Without You" and "He Is There", the latter being relabeled as "In Every Tear, He Is There" for the album Wherever You Are. Also, tracks such as "Sallou" (relabeled as "It's a Game") and "Never Never" (relabeled as "All I Need") were also altered and re-released on the album Salaam. "Forever Palestine" was edited and released as a free download on Yusuf's official website when this album was released in 2009.
