Islamophonic: Converting to Islam

Welcome to a long-overdue edition of Islamophonic. We've been tucked away for a while but we're back – bigger and juicier than your average pod.

In this programme we talk to people who have converted to Islam. I am told that people don't actually convert - that's what happens with lofts, see – they embrace Islam, which makes it sound like a cuddly and warming experience.

But is it? I find out why people chose the faith and what effect its had on their lives. I also discover what challenges they face once they've said the shahada.

There's also a random quiz for which you receive no rewards whatsoever. It's all in the taking part.
