Henry Winter has an older brother three years his senior, Timothy Winter. His brother is known by his Muslim name Sheikh Abdul-Hakim Murad.
Timothy is one of the most influential Muslim thinkers in the UK. He is three years older than his brother Henry, and as kids, the two seemingly had different interests. Timothy had dived deep into religion. On the other hand, like any normal British lad, Henry loved playing football with his mates.
And in the coming years, the paths of the two brothers kept diverging along the road. But if there was something in common between the two, then it was having their names often printed on papers.
Henry went on to work for the prominent British newspaper, The Times, as a sports writer, whereas Timothy became an Islamic scholar who gained fame all over the UK.
Timothy has had many controversial thoughts in the past, which he has said out loud in public. But he has since backed down from some of the comments, including talking about homosexuality in a bad light.
A graduate of Cambridge Univerisity, Timothy converted to Islam when he was 19. In one of his interviews, the Islam scholar said his interest in Islamic art and the study of Arabic made him want to convert his religion.
Though the brothers do not have many public moments together, the recent tweet of Henry Winter has everyone talking about his support towards his brother’s religion as he posted the video of England Team training while the call to prayer played in the background.
