Join Hanif Khan, Amaar Ahmad & Rana Ata-ul-Rehman for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Charity in Ramadan' and 'Neurodiversity'

Charity in Ramadan

Muslims are always encouraged to be charitable and share their blessings. During Ramadan, a month of increased worship, they are especially encouraged to give more in charity. In Islam, charity itself is considered an act of worship, and any worship performed in this sacred month holds greater reward than at other times. Join us as we explore the different types of charity in Islam.

Neurodiversity

In this episode we will explore neurodiversity—the idea that neurological differences like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia are natural variations of the human experience rather than deficits. As society moves toward greater understanding and inclusion, what does Islam say about embracing different minds? How can we create a world that values every individual, regardless of how they think or process the world around them?

Happiness Unlocked

Who am I? What truly matters to me? These questions arise throughout life, especially during moments of change or uncertainty. But at the heart of it all lies a deeper question—am I truly happy? Join us as we explore the pursuit of happiness, the role of self-awareness, and the importance of aligning our lives with meaningful values. Discover how faith, introspection, and a connection with the Creator can lead to lasting contentment.

Promised Messiah as

In this episode we explore the concept of the Promised Messiah (AS) in Islam. Many Muslims believe in the coming of a divinely guided reformer in the latter days, but interpretations differ across sects. Who was the Promised Messiah (AS), and what role does he play in Islamic teachings? We examine the claims, prophecies, and significance of this awaited figure in light of history and modern times.
