  • Join me on a day trip as I travel from Nottingham to Birmingham by train to explore what many consider to be the most Muslim-friendly city in the UK. From the moment I arrived at Birmingham’s train station, I was surprised to find a dedicated prayer room, a sign of the city’s welcoming and diverse atmosphere. Starting my day, I headed to a small Arab café for a delicious breakfast of traditional tea and food, experiencing the rich culture firsthand.

    After breakfast, I set out to explore the bustling shopping district, including the iconic Bullring. My mission was to find a new backpack, and I spent time wandering through the shops and markets, discovering just how diverse Birmingham really is. One of the highlights of my trip was stumbling upon Birmingham's China Town. I was shocked by how beautiful it was, showcasing yet another aspect of the city’s vibrant cultural mix.
    Later, I took a moment to help a homeless woman by buying her some food, reflecting on the sense of community in this diverse city. My next stop was one of Birmingham’s mosques for Jummah prayer. While inside the mosque, I had an embarrassing moment when my phone accidentally played music. Despite that, I was able to perform the Jummah prayer and film the experience in POV, which gave a real insight into the sense of unity within Birmingham’s Muslim community.
    After prayer, I spoke to a few local Muslims who shared their perspectives on life in Birmingham, including their concerns about safety in the area. The conversation was eye-opening and gave me a deeper understanding of what life in the city might be like. I also met a man who had been through a terrible experience with human tfin. He wanted to raise awareness about the issue, and we had a heartfelt conversation that added a serious note to my journey.
    Finally, I caught the train back to Nottingham, reflecting on my eye-opening day in Birmingham.

    That so called homeless woman is most likely a Romanian. They are parading around as muslims. A tell tale sign is usually giving them salaam or some other basic everyday islamic greeting and not getting any sort of reply. They know muslims are the most giving when it comes to charity.

    Oh people, we are your sisters, by God 😭😭😭 We do not even find a loaf of bread inside the house that would satisfy you, oh nation of Muhammad. People are brothers. Oh God, make your righteous servants subservient to us. Oh God, make your righteous servants subservient to us. My appeal to every Muslim, oh Lord, if he sees this message, may He prolong his life, make him happy, and cover him. May God reward him. God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs. There is no power or strength except with God. Oh people, oh nation of Muhammad, oh people of goodness, oh people of mercy. We are your sisters and your children. By God, we do not even find a loaf of bread inside the house that would satisfy you. Oh nation of Muhammad, I only spoke out of extreme hunger and distress. My mother, sisters, and I are displaced from our homes because of the war. We are in a state that no one knows about except God. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs, against those who brought us to this state 💔💔 By God Almighty, I only wrote this appeal out of extreme poverty and poverty, oh people. I beg you by God Almighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, that I do not have food at home. By God, my brothers and sisters have been sitting around for two days. Without food, by God our situation is very difficult, we are 6 people in the house and my father passed away and there is no one to support us and we live in a rented house and we cannot pay the rest of the rent. I am not lying to you nor deceiving you nor cheating you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced because of the war between me and my family over a rent dispute and the owner of the house. By God, my brother comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants us to go out to the street because we are unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and talked to the neighbors again and gave us a deadline until the end of the week and we swore to God to let us out of the street now we are in arrears of 60 thousand Yemeni riyals for 3 months rent may God have mercy on us our country is suffering because of this war and we do not find our daily sustenance and we live my mother and sisters our father passed away may God have mercy on him and we do not have anyone in the world to come to us in these harsh circumstances my little sisters went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating and stood at their door giving them even a piece of bread and by God in whose hand is the heavens and the earth they closed the door and kicked them out and they came back crying dying of hunger no one has mercy on them and now the holiday has come back to me if no one of us helps us with a kilo of flour by God we will die of hunger brother I seek refuge in God and then in you and I want your help for the sake of God I ask you by God you love goodness and help me even if it is about the rent of the house send me a WhatsApp message on this number 00967716649494 and ask for my card name and send it and do not delay may God compensate you with all good My little sisters, look at their situation and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street and humiliate us or my family and I die of hunger.

    Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Lewis Akhi, the best thing to drink and eat in the morning is: firstly drink coconut water(don't buy coconut water from coconutwater concentrate and neither the one that is sterilised by UHT(Ultra High Temperature)). The only thing that should be written on the package is 100% coconut water. The coconut water is gonna hydrate you properly. Papaya is a very healthy thing to eat
