Shortly after converting to Islam, Cat Stevens married Fauzia Mubarak Ali – a Pakistan native with a Master's degree in Literature – in 1979. Many believed it to be a traditional arranged marriage, but Stevens set the record straight on his personal website. "I had two prospective girls I was interested in marrying," he wrote, adding, "I invited them to meet my mother and then asked her opinion. She told me her preference and I agreed. I had no intimate relationship with either before marriage. Therefore, to Western standards, and my own previous track record, this was a stark departure from the norm."

The couple has five children together. Their oldest daughter, Hasanah, is a record company executive, their second daughter, Asmaa Eve, is a lawyer, their third daughter, Maymanah, is a charity worker, and their fourth daughter, Aminah, is a professional photographer. Their son, Muhammad, is a singer-songwriter who goes by the stage name Yoriyos Adamos, a nod to his Greek heritage. He also serves as his father's manager.

Sadly, as Stevens noted on his personal website, their sixth child, son Abd Al-Ahad Ahmad, died at just 13 days old due to an incurable heart condition. The couple has been married for 44 years as of 2023, splitting their time between London and Dubai. Together, they manage several schools and charities and spend time with their many grandchildren.
