Join Raza Ahmed and Daniyal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing “Palestine: Peace Possible?” and “Voice of Islam 9 Year Anniversary”

Palestine: Peace Possible?

With the recent ceasefire between Israel and

Palestine, there is hope for a pause in the

violence, but the question remains: how long

will it hold, and can it lead to a permanent

ceasefire granting the people of Palestine and

Gaza true freedom from oppression? The

intense violence in Gaza has left the region

devastated, with widespread destruction,

severe food shortages, and an overwhelmed

healthcare system. International responses

have varied, with calls for lasting peace and

diplomatic solutions. Join us as we discuss the

complexities of this situation and whether

lasting peace is possible.

Join Salman Qamar, Usman Ali, Qamar Zafar & Zafar Ahmad for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing ‘Cancer Screening’ and ‘ Palestinian Journalists - Media martyred’

Cancer Screening 

Post-pandemic, cancer screening rates remain alarmingly low, increasing the risk of late diagnoses and poor outcomes. The sharp rise in bowel cancer cases among younger individuals, particularly in England, underscores the urgent need to address barriers such as fear and limited awareness. Join us as we discuss the importance of encouraging regular screenings as a vital step toward protecting overall health and well-being.

Palestinian Journalists - Media martyred

What are the ramifications of media casualties in Gaza? Are reporters deliberately targeted for telling the truth? What can be done to protect journalists in conflict zones? These are some of the questions we would like to explore in our show as we explore the tragic price paid by media professionals for doing their job. Join us as we go on to consider what drives ethical journalism and its importance today.

Join Aneeq ur Rehman and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Afghanistan and women’s rights' and 'Kindness on Social Media Platforms'

Afghanistan and women’s rights

Strict and unnecessary laws in Afghanistan strip away the God-given rights of women, including their right to education, work, and freedom of movement. Women are banned from school, forced to wear restrictive clothing and have access to limited healthcare. Join us as we discuss how Islam truly champions women’s rights, revealing the many rights Islam grants to women, including education, property, and personal autonomy.

Kindness on Social Media Platforms

The #ReclaimSocial movement aims to transform social media into a positive, empowering platform by encouraging individuals, brands, and organizations to share inspiring stories and messages. Join us as we discuss ways of combating hate online — and promoting positive content for a kinder internet.
