Episode 257: Nur Choudhury

FAISAL & SAM
About this episode

This week Faisal is joined by Nur Choudhury who is here to share his story of how his ill health altered the direction of his life. He discusses how he merged child psychology and Islamic theology to develop his own organisation, Involved Fathers, aimed at creating the best version of the Muslim father. I challenge every man who shrugs at the idea of changing nappies to give this episode a listen, for at the very least, a changed perception of the job!
