On Eid Muslims will make a trip to the cemetery to pray to and for our loved ones.
I did that today for my Baba 🤲❤️
We then also go around the cemetery and pray to and for others. They do not have to be relations.
A family came over to my dad.. they didn't know it was my father.
Then the father of the family said out loud.... " hello Ibrahim (my father's name) ... I'm sure we will meet someday.....and looking at you now I can see you are loved....you've been beautifully kept...that's all we can ask for when we are no longer here"
I sobbed. I haven't cried like that in a while.
The man turned to me and said "is this your father?"
I nodded.
He said "how beautiful you have kept him. You keep him here (pats his heart)"
Both beautiful and sad at the same time.

I’ve spent years giving talks about how Mr Burton changed my life. I finally delivered one in front of him in the school hall where it began. From that nervous kid on Educating Yorkshire to 13 years later showing him his efforts were worth it. What a feeling #EducatingYorkshire

Firstly - and I thought we’d answered this one a long time ago - no, having a Black/Brown/Muslim friend/family member is not evidence that you are “not racist” and not can it be a shield against charges of racism and bigotry.
