The Retreat: BBC (Ramadan, experience, pray, faith, catholic)

[neves]

"Away from the pressures of modern life, they take part in daily prayer, reflection and study at the Spanish retreat at Alqueria de Rosales, Andalucia, which caters to many different branches of Islamic faith. The final week will be a real test of their strength and commitment as the volunteers observe the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and are expected to fast between sunrise and sunset. Their experience triggers some real insight into deep seated personal issues around their faith or - in some cases - lack of it.

The group is led by Abdullah Trevathan, a respected scholar and academic. He lives in Spain but also works as a lecturer at the University of Roehampton in Twickenham. Born in New York City, he converted to Islam 30 years ago and was, until recently, head teacher at the Islamia Primary School in Queen's Park, London, one of the first Muslim schools set up in Britain."

The BBC usually handle these sorts of programmes very well, they did a similar one on a Catholic retreat.

What do Moslems think of the programmes?
