British Consul General in Saudi Arabia converts to Islam

The British consul-general to Jeddah embraced Islam and changed his name to Seif Usher.

The diplomat revealed the news on Twitter earlier this week. A picture of Usher standing in the courtyard of Masjid Al Nabawi in Madinah has been doing rounds on social media.

In a tweet, the consul-general said: “I am very happy to return to my favorite city – Madina – and perform the Fajr prayer at the Prophet’s Mosque.”
