8:36 am
now my grandson in college so i know he's coming in the last 6 months and we hope that we can train him to take over for me to carry on to do shrooms to carry on the service for the people here in london. it's a. moment i'm young and has a long mind and i sort of went off. to what do you i want. to be judged on my dad and. mom my dad and i. like it and. other stuff. i think. this will give it.
8:37 am
my whole family is for my birth who is going to this so i've been around. the idea of death and death is an everyday thing. that's. carried on my family's legacy. long to our copper to. my mum dad she went into the company because my great grandfather wonder a little bit help so sure for we can then he turned the years and she just carried on. but she decided she wanted to go back teaching. i was quite surprised you wanted to do this and i didn't know whether it was just because it was an easy
8:38 am
option because you're like. ok you really want to do it to. really enjoy doing nothing so my dad's a big character i was really difficult because for 20 years over 20 years we sort of stopping father and daughter and became business partners which challenge to stomach leigh how i was dealing with him and talking to him and there's this very much disrespect thing. and we deal with things very very differently i was in partnership with my dad only up until recently. who know was here for 20 years and she decided that she would stand back for a while because maybe she wanted to direct your nose and i was standing in her way we have women come here their husbands have died and they can relate to a woman better than they can a man especially with asian women so we need
8:39 am
a woman's touch here and i think it will be coming back. we have about $30000.00 plus muslim population here in the white chapel east london area and this is always been the kind of melting pot of southern england. you know did not prepare you paula visit the mosque every now and then and not only did i go. to the extent the most trouble that bit of a turn over the islands. lovely little towns because increase. they came here the day was a good. 5 i think it was it was the other night. for what brits 1st was privileged to be in london i was speech she might arrive in belfast this summer. but you only see it's because the kids in exact incidentally working
8:40 am
quite straight was closed off because you had to find the same time i'm sure it was developed by now friend. and you know i don't live in the area. moment though i thought it's a pretty you know they're an issue we work together we go on to give a what. i want to for some in the media well what we all respect one another's views yeah to a point of we disagree sometimes but we don't ram have used them please push fronts . the way i do you can't be fearful just in case you have you know that. when they're down am not ok's and i think we're going to happen is you going to have a yeah especially when you got to kate's. what i could. to get the original yes you have to give them the original green
8:41 am
certificate last year which is slow in this country you have to have the green to pick up the original ok i do problems give me a ring but i think you're going by. you only bury somebody once and people remember things when they go wrong weddings and funerals and if you do it right there where my dad used to do it then that's good and if you do it wrong those people will never forget you and what always kills you. today. this is a picture of dad and me. yeah when i was about 5 years of age because my father that wasn't very happy about having photographs taken. when mothers in the sari and i'm sure this was about 1956 this was taken. ringback ringback around about the mid sixty's when there was an influx of muslim people arriving
8:42 am
here in east london mainly bangladeshis or at that time it was east pakistan ringback. the need for a funeral service group so my father purchased a black ambulance van and started to do the funerals here in london ringback. tasneem army was only 17 is anyone he deputized as far as father was away on pilgrimage to mecca i grew up here in this area and we had this phenomena called bashing we had right wing groups coming along looking for asians to beat up just for the sake of it. my father was beaten up ringback and. it wasn't wasn't a good time in east end of london ringback ringback ringback. my mum was welsh she converted to islam too in the 2nd world war with my father she was a coal miner's daughter can you imagine the stigma of a white lady marrying
8:43 am
a dark person but she didn't care but i'm also proud to be a bangladeshi as well. oh yeah that's my dad that's my dad roughly. 4 weeks before he died and is now when he graduated. and muna when she graduated she sees the world in a different way because being younger than me she can maybe project forward where i don't that's why i think politicians shouldn't be allowed to be politicians after 65 that some young blood a far worse away because they've got better ideas and see things better than we do we're always thinking in the past and they're thinking in the future and it's important. so i do miss her yes.
8:44 am
today we have the you know gratian of the strong room for the 1st british muslim archives and guests from more different books of life have come to join us in this and the patients of this kind of pivotal moment. i get the sleeve setup the country's 1st and indeed it was europe's 1st muslim burial service we're hopefully going to see and the family members coming in. we're starting at $530.00 so fingers crossed the ocean for make it on time just go 15 minutes.
8:45 am

8:46 am
