Sallam alaykum.
Interesting programme.
Omer Williams and his brother Stuart are both Welsh Muslims. They have converted to Islam and are part of a growing UK trend.
Stuart and his convert wife Kate are expecting their first baby, believing their child will be the first white Welsh-born Muslim. Omer’s wife Shereen, meanwhile, experiences Islamophobia first-hand on the streets of Cardiff.

Sallam alaykum.
The beads of the tasbi
Are the tears of the Sufi
The ticking of the tasbi
Is the heartbeat of the Sufi
The fragrance of the tasbi
Is the breath of the Sufi
The string of the tasbi
Is the rope of the Sufi
The weight of the tasbi
Is the lightness of the Sufi
And the smoothness of the tasbi
Is the road of the Sufi
