Friday morning in Wakefield Prison and Yusuf Rahim joins 60 other Muslim prisoners as they head to the jail’s gym to say their prayers. If nothing else, it is a chance to get out of his cell and take a break from the normal routine.

Therefore one cannot see the Word of God without the Spirit, nor can anyone approach the Father without the Son.
