WHAT MUSLIMS BELIEVE

| Features: | Mohammed Akram Khan-Cheema taking the journalist Trevor Barnes to look at the pillars of Muslim belief and practise, showing Islam as a complete way of life, embracing home, work and community. Examines questions such as: What kind of God do Muslims believe in? How important are Mohammed and the Quran? Why is the month's fast of Ramadan significant and what makes the pilgrimage to Mecca a life's ambition? How do Muslims deal with being a Muslim in a Western culture, and where do they draw the line in customs of dress, marriage and education. Are young Muslims abandoning the faith, even while new British converts are made? What are the markers in a good Muslim's life, from birth to death and beyond? This programme offers insights into the practical everyday belief that lies behind the headlines. |
