Join Imran Akram and Ammar Ahmad for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Broken Boundaries : How media changed our morals’ and ‘Jalsa Salana’

Broken Boundaries : How Media Changed Our Morals

To hook viewers who have a shortened attention span filmmakers resort to increase in showing violence or nudity. This fight for attention and hooking the viewer has created a culture that fights for our attention no matter the limits. We want to ask ourselves where does this lead us? How does this desensitisation affect our brains and morals?

Jalsa Salana

In an age of political turmoil, moral confusion, and global uncertainty, Khilafat remains a source of timeless wisdom and principled leadership. Across generations, Khulafa have offered clarity and foresight — warning of societal dangers before they emerged, calling for justice, and guiding with compassion beyond political or national interests. Their leadership is not rooted in power, but in moral conviction — a reminder that true guidance transcends time, borders, and popular opinion.

Weekend World Show Podcast 07-20-2025 by Voice of Islam

Join Abdul Qayyum Rashid, Ahmed Danayal Zia and Imam Raza for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: Fire ‘‘Critical Minerals: the true cost’ and ‘Nations’

Critical Minerals: the true cost

The global demand for critical minerals has positioned Africa at the heart of a new economic revolution, yet this opportunity comes shadowed by exploitation and human suffering. From cobalt extraction in the Democratic Republic of Congo to lithium mining across the continent, the materials powering our clean energy transition often carry the hidden cost of forced labour and violence. Join us as we explore the moral complexities of critical minerals extraction, examining whether Africa's mineral wealth can truly benefit its people while meeting global demand for sustainable technologies.

Fire Nations

The Holy Quran as well as the Bible mention Yajuj Majuj, or Gog & Magog. They are usually mentioned in the context of a prophecy about the end times, which coincides with the expected arrival of the Messiah. According to Arabic etymology, Gog & Magog are closely related to fire - what are these two nations that are mentioned by these holy scriptures? And are we living amongst these? Join us as we look deeper into this concept.

Guests:

Dr Claude Kabemba: - Executive Director at the Southern Africa Resource Watch. He has spent years working alongside mining-affected communities to expose the human cost of mineral extraction across Africa.

Join Zafir Ahmad and Usman Ali for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing 'Justice' and 'Divided Ummah'

Justice

As World Justice Day approaches, it’s crucial to spotlight the ongoing injustices, especially in Sudan, where ethnic violence and human rights violations persist. Injustice is not confined to conflict zones — even in developed nations like the United States, racial discrimination and inequality remain widespread.

Divided Ummah

At a time when the global Muslim community faces immense internal and external challenges, unity remains not just an ideal, but a necessity. Join us as we examine the roots of this disunity, its historical and modern consequences, and the urgent need for cohesion in the face of rising global instability. What does true unity look like, and how can it be achieved without compromising principle?

Join Aneeq Ur Rehman and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show where we will be discussing : « Speech and Language issues in Early Years » and « Is religion really the cause of today’s conflicts? »

Speech and Language issues in Early Years

Today, we hear from experts about why kids are struggling to express themselves and what it means for their futures. From classroom silence to social anxiety and how screen time, post-pandemic effects, and curriculum gaps are shaping a generation less confident in verbal expression. Tune in to find out why this communication breakdown should matter to every parent, educator, and listener.

Is religion really the cause of today’s conflicts?

In a world shaken by conflict, violence, and division, many are quick to blame religion as the root cause of global disorder. But is faith truly to blame—or is the real issue how it's being misused? Join us as we explore the argument that religion, far from being the source of chaos, actually teaches peace, justice, and compassion.
