Akon may not be a religious guy, but he still tries to keep his music respectful on the Lord's day.

The musician was interviewed for The Guardian's weekly series “Sunday with…” and was asked about his Sunday routine. He explained, “These last few years I never know where I’ll wake up,” but it's usually a day off from work so he'll spend it “under the comforter in a hotel room, watching Netflix and drinking peppermint tea.” But when he's at home in Atlanta, he's hanging out with his kids and “there’s always a schedule if they’re around: movies, sports, bowling… I’ve got an alley in my basement, that helps. Even then I’m not in the kitchen. Sundays are for ordering junk food: wings, burgers, that sort of thing.”

He'll also “sometimes” carves out a little time to work, although he says, “The music I make on Sundays is more family friendly… You don’t want too many ‘shake-your-asses' on the Lord’s day. Else I might be playing a birthday or bar mitzvah.” And while he may be respectful of the Lord's day, don't expect to find Akon in a house of worship on Sunday anytime soon. He said, “I’m not a religious person. Religious knowledge is passed down depending on who knows what; it’s not always accurate.” But the “Smack That” singer added, “Every day is spiritual” and “Sunday is quiet—the peace does me good. Silence is the soundtrack to a day off in the music industry.”

While he may not identify as religious now, in 2015, Akon told The National that his relationship with Islam was the key to his success. “I was born a Muslim and, depending on what part of Senegal you came from, music was considered haram [unlawful] and there has always been a debate about Islam and music,” he explained. “I never looked at the performing aspect of the music itself but on the intention. Even if you look at the daily prayers in Islam we pray in melody, when we hear the call to prayer in any part of the world it is also done with melody, so no one can tell me that music is haram. Now this is my personal point of view and I am not speaking for anyone else. Now I am not in a position to judge any man and I don’t expect them to judge me as well, but no matter what decision you decide to make just do right by it. Because, at the end of the day, Allah is watching and he knows what is in your heart.”
