[0:00]Muslim and you think like a Muslim, why don't you become a

[0:05]Muslim?

[0:05]It's the switching of the basically I started to read the Quran

[0:11]and I was reading a few pages per night.

[0:16][Music] Um, and when I was about halfway through, I thought, well,

[0:22]I've I've read enough.

[0:23]I'm going to finish this, but I'm going off to recite the

[0:29]shahada.

[0:30]And so I went to Birmingham Central Mosque and uh met Dr.

[0:37]Nasim and uh the the then imam of the place and uh

[0:47]recited Shahada.

[0:49][Music] There I was with um armed with a Quran and having

[0:55]read a lot of books at about the age of 42 43

[1:00]something like that.

[1:02]In my reading at that time I came across an awful lot

[1:07]of uh references to Shiism but I came from a western background

[1:13]a postwar postcolonial background.

[1:15]So I had seen um the propaganda put out by the Third

[1:20]Reich and by the Soviet Union and of course Communist China.

[1:25]And when I read some of this stuff, I wasn't horrified as

[1:31]you know boogeyman story.

[1:33]I just went instantly this is just propaganda.

[1:37]If they had something substantial, why haven't they published it?

[1:42]And so I used to go and visit my mother on the

[1:46]other side of the city and the bus drove past a Shia

[1:50]information center.

[1:51]And so I decided to go in and give salams to the

[1:57]Shia brothers there and find out what they said.

[2:00]I'm never content being told by others what these third party says.

[2:05]And I decided to go and talk to them.

[2:09]Um what I found there was um an intellectual discourse about religion,

[2:15]a concern about uh historioggraphy and accuracy.

[2:19]And thus I I'd actually unwittingly found the branch of Islam that

[2:26]suited me.

[2:27]And so I I joined the Hower in Birmingham and for the

[2:33]next I think 5 years I was working 18 hours a day

[2:38]studying and giving lectures in mosques and helping to bury people, helping

[2:44]to marry them.

[2:46]Um, and it got to the point where one day I saw

[2:52]a newspaper and there was a different prime minister and all scholars

[2:58]need.
