Episode 5 takes us across Singapore as we listen to the story of my friend Dawood. Dawood shares the story of his childhood and former years growing up in Singapore with a Muslim mother and an absent Hindu father. Having moved to the UK 9 years ago, at age 23, Dawood looks back on life and shares a unique perspective on Islam in the Malay Archipelago. We discuss the complexities of culture vs religion and how Dawood navigated this to form his own Islamic identity.
