Join Raheel Ahmad for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: Home Advantage in Football and World Poetry Day

Home Advantage in Football

We’ve all heard it, teams perform better at home. The stats back it up. The crowd roars, the pitch feels familiar, and there’s no exhausting travel. But is that really what makes the difference? Or is it just belief? If the best teams are truly the best, shouldn’t they dominate anywhere? And what about those underdogs who defy the odds, winning on enemy turf? Is home advantage fact, or just a football myth?

World Poetry Day

Do we need a day to celebrate poetry? What makes a good poem? Is it just about making words rhyme? These are some of the questions we would like to explore in our show as we explore the beauty of verse. Join us between 5 and 6 as we go on to consider the devotional and spiritual benefits of poetry.

Join Aneeq ur Rehman and Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Money Worries: Coping with Financial Stress’ and 'Slavery.'

Money Worries: Coping with Financial Stress

Financial stress is a common challenge that can impact mental and physical well-being.

Whether it’s debt, unexpected expenses, or job insecurity, money worries can lead to

anxiety, sleep problems, and strained relationships. However, there are ways to manage financial stress effectively. Join us for a discussion on charity, gratitude, debts, ways to ease financial anxiety, and strategies for creating a more secure financial future.

Slavery

The West has faced criticism for centuries due to its deep-rooted history of colonialism. The debate remains ongoing, as many nations still feel stripped of their resources and left disadvantaged in the global race for economic power. Meanwhile, the lingering effects of racism continue to impact African communities in the West today, raising an important question—how fair was the abolition of slavery?

Guests:

Claire Donovan (Representative from the End Furniture Poverty Organisation)

Helen Webb (Senior National External Partnerships Manager for the Christian against Poverty Organisation)

18/03/2025

Join Saad Ahmed for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Frenemies:

struggle of toxic ties and Climate of Conflict: The environmental fallout of war’

Frenemies: struggle of toxic ties

Social media often presents an unrealistic image of friendship, making people feel inadequate or isolated. True friendships embrace imperfections and influence our thoughts, actions, and happiness. Join us as we discuss the power of social circles and explore how to be a compassionate, trustworthy friend. 

Climate of Conflict: The environmental fallout of war

War doesn’t just take lives—it devastates the environment, poisoning water, destroying forests, and leaving the land uninhabitable. From Gaza’s bombed-out landscapes to desertification in the Sahel, conflict accelerates climate change and causes long-term ecological destruction. Join us as we discuss the hidden environmental costs of war, and how faith and ethics shape our responsibility to protect the planet.

Guests :

Mazin Qumsiyeh (Palestinian scientist and author, founder and director of the Palestine Museum of Natural History and the Palestine Institute for Biodiversity and Sustainability at Bethlehem University).

Doug Weir (undertaking research and advocacy on the environmental dimensions of armed conflicts and military activities since 2005).

Producers : Rana Dua Dilawar and Zohra Mobashir
