There are many stereotypical images of the life of a Muslim; of women covered and oppressed, of men with long beards and extreme views. But is this really the life of your average Muslim? Well here’s your chance to find out!
UCLU Isoc is giving you the opportunity to understand what the life of a Muslim entails and follow in their footsteps for one week, from experiencing the serene prayer which brings a heart’s content in the daily life of a Muslim, through to a viewing of 'the Fog is Lifting' bringing a better understanding of all aspects of Islam.
