Join Imran Akram and Talib Man for Monday’s show from 4–6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Sizewell C debate’ and ‘Wisdom of Khilafat’

Wisdom of Khilafat

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.

Sizewell C Debate

Join us as we explore the debate over Sizewell C, the UK’s planned nuclear power station. Seen by some as a key step toward cleaner energy, it won’t be ready for at least a decade—raising doubts about its cost, timing, and relevance. Critics argue the billions could fund quicker, greener solutions like home insulation and renewables. Is Sizewell C a smart investment in our future, or an outdated, expensive mistake?

Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Fueling the Future: Raising Healthy Eaters’ and ‘Godward Feelings – no soul can deny it’

Fueling the Future: Raising Healthy Eaters

In today’s fast-paced world, ensuring children eat healthy, balanced meals is a growing challenge. With ultra-processed foods everywhere and media constantly shaping eating habits, parents face a tough battle to nurture their child’s diet. Join us as we share expert insights and practical advice to empower parents in raising children who are not only physically healthy but also conscious of the divine blessings in every bite.

Godward Feelings – no soul can deny it

There is something every human cannot deny—a deep feeling that we are part of something greater, that our lives have purpose and meaning. Some may reject the idea of God, yet in moments of desperation, they instinctively call out to Him. Today, this is often described as spiritualism, a higher power, or the universe. But at its core, it reflects our refusal to feel alone. Join us as we explore why, no matter who we are, we are innately drawn to our Creator—and how building a true, living relationship with Him can bring fulfilment to our soul.

Join Zafar Qamar, Faheem Nasir and Zafir Ahmed for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Drug Trade' and 'Torture'.

Drug Trade

In today’s world, drugs are often used due to peer pressure, emotional pain, poverty, and lack of awareness. The issue is not only personal — it’s global. As we discuss the stigmas around drug use, prevention, and seeking help, we must also recognize the importance of international cooperation in ending the illegal drug trade. Join us today as we explore these issues and reflect on the timeless guidance Islam gave us about intoxicants thousands of years ago.

Torture

Torture is a brutal weapon still wielded by governments across the globe—from Syria’s prisons and Myanmar’s military crackdowns to the ongoing abuse of Palestinian detainees under Israeli occupation. Countries like Egypt, Russia, Venezuela, Turkey, and Sudan also perpetuate this cruelty, flagrantly defying international law. Ending torture is not optional—it is a global imperative. Join us as we discuss how the world must unite to hold perpetrators accountable and ensure torture becomes a thing of the past.

Join Aneeq ur Rehman and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Nuclear War' and 'Writing.

Nuclear War: A looming catastrophe 

The threat of nuclear war is rising fast. With Russia making open threats, North Korea warning of conflict in space, and global powers increasing defense spending, the danger feels more real than ever.

Writing: Change your story 

In a world increasingly shaped by digital narratives and inner dialogues, writing remains one of our most powerful tools for self-expression and change. From ancient scriptures to modern manifestos, the written word has driven both personal growth and political revolution. Join us as we explore the

enduring power of writing, why it remains a vital skill, why it should be taught from a young age and how the rise of AI is reshaping the creative process—challenging us to rethink authorship, imagination, and the future of storytelling.
