[MrAdnanRashid]

Next on my watch list. Fascinating topic for me.

[CG-ziku]

The first generation English converts to Islam were intelligent, cultured, erudite, sophisticated, spiritual, enigmatic and great muslims. Hopefully more and more British muslims will become well acquainted with them all.

[Jesus-inoz]

This is the first time for me to see someone talks about this era, especially from an Islamic perspective. Very unique & informative content. Thank you brother Paul.

[sanamt]

The hymn was beautiful especially in bother Yahya's voice. Thank you brother Paul, this was absolutely delightful.

[AnalyseThat]

Excellent work! Thank you Paul & Yahya Birt for reviving the memory of perhaps the first British muslim community & their efforts to plant the seeds of an alternative monotheistic view of life. May God reward the efforts of all those involved.

[djamaluddin]

So happy to see brother Yahya on your channel Paul. Alhamdulillah.

[CG-ziku]

btw, that was a great recital of Quilliam's hymm by Yahya, and such a pleasant surprise. I may well memorise it myself, it would be nice to sing whilst on a scenic walk somewhere.

[JJmetaphysics]

Invigorating from the start, Brother Paul and Birt brings new insight into the struggles of British Muslims and their contributions to British society. A start to a wonder anthology of Islam!

[zakzak]

Just finished watching the show! Absolutely fascinating, and what an extraordinary hymn and an extraordinary poem! Very powerful, we need to bring more of these poems out into the light! Riveting stuff!

[zakzak]

Paul, i was wondering if you would ever talk about your Turkey trip, how it went, what you thought of the people, History, culture etc. Also you met Lauren Booth there, how did the meeting go, and what did you guys discuss? Im sure we'd all love to know. Thanks

[MuhammadAli-hrbj]

That was an extraordinary conversation. Had a constant smile of pure joy listening to the end!

[mhammadalzhrani]

المحترم Paul : أرى نور الإيمان يضئ وجهك ..تحية طيبة لك من أرض الرسالات

[humaira]

Thank you Br Paul this magnificent episode.
Thank br Yahya for your great presentation and specially the Hymn and the mention ofthat great Mohammad Ali who mentored Marcus Garvy in USA.

[ayeshasaddiqa]

This is truly fascinating. Thank You Mr Yahya for an incredible presentation and thank you so much Mr.Paul for inviting him to your channel.
