Adil Ireland: Muslim enigma

Little is known about the early life of Adil Ireland, except that he was born in England in 1940. He reportedly left England in 1960 and spent some time in Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Malaya and Australia before traveling to Japan in 1962.

He is believed to have arrived in New Zealand in 1972, by which time he had a wife and child. He performed Hajj in 1990, and is shown wearing the ihram (pilgrim's garb) on the index page of this website. Click here to return to the archives.
