Ma'as salama (peace be with you). I'm a 33 year old English Muslim, living in the Valleys of South Wales (UK), though I'm originally from the East End of London. I'm married and have 2 children (aged 4 and 2). I am fascinated by Islam in all its forms, whether Sunni or Shia. I'm a teacher and tutor by trade (with a deep and passionate interest in education) and a historian by inclination and training, with interests in Ancient, Early Medieval and Islamic History.
