Articles on some early british muslims

Check out the brother from Ayrshire, he was a writer/poet:
"Yahya-En-Nasr (John) Parkinson (1874-1918) was born of Irish descent in Kilwinning, Ayrshire. "

The eid sermon of shaykh pickthall is excellent alhamdulillah, its from 1919! Also linked from that page:

The Scottish brother (yahya) has a photo here: http://www.radwan.cwc.net/mrbritmuslims.html (at the bottom)

May Allah forgive the sins of these brothers and sisters who practiced islam in less favourable times than ours, give them peace and fragrant breezes in their graves and allow them high ranks in paradise.
