Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Torture’ and ‘Holy Quran’

Torture

With the recent revelations on the extent of torture experienced by Syrians wrongfully imprisoned, as well as individual cases such as that of Sara Sharif, we see how perpetrators don't think they will get caught and therefore be held to account. Yet religion teaches us that God Almighty is the Judge and will ask about these wrongdoings and recompense the victims for their endurance of such violence. Join us as we discuss human morality and accountability

Holy Quran

In this episode, we explore the timeless wisdom of the Holy Quran and its role as a guide and light for humanity in 2025. Emphasizing the importance of reconnecting with the Quran, we’ll discuss how its teachings can transform our lives and society, providing hope, clarity, and direction in modern times.
