Premise

The series shows Rahman sharing his own experiences of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. He explores the concept of fasting and discusses various topics including family, education, charity and food. Rahman also raises awareness of the Cambridge Mosque Project, an ongoing initiative to build the city's first purpose-built mosque and Europe's first eco-mosque. The series has been uploaded on Rahman's YouTube channel.[1]
