He found Islam at 14. Moved to the UAE at 17. Raised six kids along the way.
In this episode, I sit down with Ismail Bullock. He left behind everything he knew in the UK after he reverted to Islam to build a life in the UAE.
We talk about the different stages of raising your children: when to guide, when to teach, and when to simply be their friend. And at the heart of it all is a message from the Qur’an: save yourselves, and your families.
It’s not easy. But it’s your duty. And it starts with who you are when no one’s watching.
