Trisha Malik was born in Bradford to a white British working class family.
Her parents ran a pub in the city, but her life changed when she met and married
a British Pakistani, Yasser, and converted to Islam.
"I've always tried to learn as much as I can about my husband's religion and
culture," she says.
"I made sure the children went to the mosque. Zayn has read the Koran three
times."
