Program Description – Heart & Soul: The Spiritual Journey of Muhammad Ali
http://www.bbc.co.uk/partners/english/programmes/heart-soul-muhammad-ali
First airs 11:30 am ET Friday, available to air anytime for the following seven days

When Cassius Clay converted from his Baptist Christian upbringing to join the Nation of Islam, he told a press conference that “a rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he’ll never crow. I have seen the light and I’m crowing.” How did Islam shape his sporting life, his activism and his politics?

William Crawley explores the spiritual journey of Muhammad Ali from the Christian origins to his famous conversion to the politically charged Nation of Islam and then his eventual embrace of orthodox Sunni Islam. William hears how his faith changed and in later life he started to follow Sufi Islam, particularly the teachings of Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan.
