[0:02]And so what I [music] found is that actually Islam just felt

[0:05]so natural.

[0:06]It was just like I really felt like it was the most

[0:08]natural form of existence for me.

[0:09]Um that actually I mean everything in life has changed.

[0:13]I would say I'm a lot more content.

[0:15]I'm a lot happier person.

[0:15]Obviously my day you know just this is the great thing about

[0:19]Islam is [music] it's such a practical way of life.

[0:20]So now my timings of my day and everything all revolve around

[0:24][music] salat you know for example that you know getting up every

[0:26]morning now is taken for granted for salad fedra which is something

[0:28]which beforehand was just something which would never have occurred to me

[0:31]you know um the places I go to are completely different now

[0:34][music] so whereas I used to for socializing and things I'd enjoy

[0:37]doing I'd love to go to a bar or to a nightclub

[0:39]or something like this now you know I'd never go to those

[0:42]places so you know if people from work are going there [music]

[0:44]it's just known it's the known thing I would never go and

[0:48]so my entire social sphere is now revolves around the Boom.

[0:50]It revolves around my house.

[0:51][music] It revolves around friends houses.

[0:52]So the whole social kind of thing and restaurants and things like

[0:55]that.

[0:55]So the whole [music] my whole social life changed.

[0:58]Um you know my my timings around salah, my spirituality would say

[1:02]I really had very little spirituality [music] before but now you have

[1:05]the salah to keep you there and it's a constant connection with

[1:09]Allah.

[1:08]And so I have this constant thing in my life that's like

[1:12]a spiritual [music] spiritual element.

[1:19]I traveled to um Iran um just a little while after becoming

[1:26]Muslim.

[1:26]Um and I went there with a group of youth.

[1:30]So maybe there's a group of about 60 all from around the

[1:32]UK and we all travel to Iran.

[1:33]And the reason being is to try to you know get get

[1:37]because we live in the UK, we live in a very like

[1:41]not just unislamic society but just completely unreligious society.

[1:43]So it can be sometimes difficult to feel like a Muslim when

[1:46]you live here.

[1:47]Even if you believe in Islam, it's like [music] it's not around

[1:49]you all the time and you you live in a you feel

[1:51]like kind of a foreigner.

[1:51]So the idea of these trips was to take people and you

[1:54]can go and you can spend some time [music] in Islamic country.

[1:56]You can study um you just get the experience of visiting.

[2:01]We go for zativa and there's a big group of people together.

[2:03]So we get to study together and benefit from just the [music]

[2:05]friendships and bonds that we formed there as well.

[2:07]Um so I went to Iran with this group.

[2:10]Um, and really it was excellent because it's the first time that

[2:13]I'd been to a Muslim country.

[2:17]Um, and it's [music] the first time I'd experienced, you know, um,

[2:20]a system where where everyone [music] around me, you know, was was

[2:24]was um was was practicing Muslim.

[2:26]So, that was really um it felt so different.

[2:29]You know, for once, I didn't feel like an outsider.

[2:31]I didn't feel like the odd one out, you know.

[2:32]That was that was incredibly good.

[2:33]And I found Iranian people very welcoming, you know, especially when we

[2:36]we hear so many bad stories, you know, about Iranian people and

[2:40]you'd expect people to like if you said you were British, like

[2:42]to really hate you or to want to I don't know do

[2:45]what [music] to you.

[2:45]But every time we mentioned we met people there, we mentioned we're

[2:49]from the UK, people would always try to help us out and

[2:50]they would take us to places.

[2:51]I remember so many people gave us lifts in their cars to

[2:55]restaurants and people were so people were very very welcoming, very friendly.

[2:57]So I remember that to be a really positive experience [music] as
