Deep dives
Cultural and Religious Background
Jay Neal grew up in a culturally Muslim household, shaped by a blend of Shia Islamic traditions and Indian heritage, due to his parents' roots from Madagascar. Born in France, he experienced racism in a small village lacking a substantial Muslim community, leading to limited religious practice. His family primarily participated in rituals during significant celebrations, but their Islamic practices were not very rigorous, which resulted in Jay's upbringing being more secular. As a young adult, he pursued rugby while exploring various spiritual beliefs, which set the stage for his eventual journey toward faith.
