Voice of Islam

Join Aneeq Ur Rehman and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show where we will be discussing : « ‘Radical’ Islam (Framing faith as fear) » and « Is Philosophy haram? »

‘Radical’ Islam (Framing faith as fear)

Islam has long been labelled as a ‘Religion of terror’ and one to be feared, particularly since 9/11. Yet in reality, the almost 2 billion Muslims across the world have been living peacefully, and inspired by their faith, have contributed positively to their respective societies. Is Islam truly radical, or is this idea the result of framing by the media? Join us as we discuss the true nature of Islam.

Is Philosophy haram?

Philosophy and Islam have long had a tense relationship — seen by some scholars as dangerous free-thinking, yet embraced by great Muslim philosophers to deepen faith. Join us as we explore how reason and revelation coexisted in Islamic thought, why modern philosophy can challenge belief, and how approaching Islam philosophically might actually strengthen it.

Join Imran Akram and Saad Ahmad for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Islamophobia’ and 'Parents: Blessing not a burden'

Islamophobia

Islamophobia involves prejudice and discrimination against Muslims, but efforts to tackle it can sometimes conflict with the right to free speech. The government has given itself six months to define Islamophobia with input from a working group, though critics warn this could be divisive and risk curbing open debate.

Parents: Blessing not a burden

In an age where the elderly are often placed in care homes and forgotten, we will explore the emotional, ethical, and spiritual imperative of caring for one’s parents. Highlighting the Islamic commandment to serve aging parents with love and humility, the show reclaims the narrative: parents are not a burden — they are a source of blessings and a path to Paradise.
