The subject of faith crops up a lot during our conversations. Mindfulness ins't quite a recognised religion yet buy perhaps that's for the best given the rough ride that Islam has had of late. We thought it was time we learnt more about what it really means to be a practicing Muslim in the 21st century.

Huge thanks to friend of the show Rahmen for his huge input this week. So much to learn from and digest (spoiler – it turns out we can all learn a lot from what Islam stands for). This one is an epic…

Consider this: the same brain that was used 200 years ago to drive a horse and cart is now flying a jumbo jet. The same brain that went out into the field to harvest the crops, is now using computer technology. Today our brains are processing more information in a week than than they did in a lifetime 200 years ago. The world has changed, but have we?
