Voice of Islam

Join Hanif Khan, Amaar Ahmad & Sabah Ahmad for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Housing Shortage’ and ‘Should women submit to men?’

Housing Shortages

With taxes rising and the cost of living soaring, many in the UK face an ongoing housing crisis. Despite promises to build 1.5 million homes, little progress has been made. Join us as we uncover the root causes, explore practical solutions, and call for urgent action. Going beyond politics, we offer a fresh, values-based perspective—drawing on Islamic principles—to reimagine a fairer, more ethical housing system.

Should women submit to men

Trump’s spiritual advisor Paula White-Cain recently claimed women should submit to their husbands. Join us as we explore gender roles in Islam— where submission is to God alone, but within that, a divinely guided system fosters balance, mutual respect, and a peaceful family and social life.

Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘‘Absent Fathers’ and ‘Belief in the Unseen’

Absent Fathers

The segment will explore the broad and lasting effects of father absence on families and society, shedding light on the challenges it creates and the ripple effects it can have across generations.

Belief in the Unseen

According to the Holy Quran, the first sign of what makes a believer, is believing in the unseen. This is something seen as at odds with science, which requires proof for what exists. However, just as things like waves can't be seen, but are proven by their affects, so too does religion teach belief in the unseen. Join us as we delve deeper into this concept.

Family Life

As society evolves and roles blur, do we need to return to traditional family values? Join us as we explore how each family member — from parents to children — plays a vital role in shaping stronger homes and a better society. What happens when these roles are lost, and can going back to basics bring back balance?

Mental Health and Jinns and Exorcisms

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re peeling back the layers of a rarely discussed issue—how mental illness is often misdiagnosed as jinn possession in some Muslim communities. From misunderstood symptoms to the rise of exploitative ruqyah scams, we explore what Islam actually teaches about mental health, healing, and seeking cures. We'll also explain what jinn are— myth, metaphor, or misunderstood? Tune in as we challenge stigma, expose misinformation, and bridge faith with psychological understandi
