of the Turkish government under Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The 70 year old was
particularly referring to the Turkish government’s role in looking after the
Syrian refugees and the assistance of Turkey in building the Abu Bakr Jamia
Masjid in Cambridge, UK. Islam met Erdogan at the Presidential palace in Ankara
on 8 February where the two reportedly discussed for over an hour. In the meeting,
Islam who embraced Islam on 23 December 1977 expressed his joy at the failure
of the attempted coup in July 2016. The Abu Bakr Jamia Masjid-the contruction
of which is being assisted by the Dinayet (Turkey’s Religious Affairs
Directorate) will have the capacity to take at least 1,000 worshippers.

wrote on his Twitter account, “My dear brother Yusuf, thank you for your visit
and sincere conversation. Welcome to Turkey.”
