  "reliability_note": "Interview conducted by telephone in May 2021 and published on 15 December 2021; read in full on 1 November 2026. It is a primary source for Akbar's own account of his religious upbringing and practice: he says he was raised Muslim in a family 'pretty far on the secular side of Islam', that he had spent the last month fasting, and that in getting sober he began to connect with Islam in a way he never had before. It names no school or branch for him.",
