Join Raheel Ahmad for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: "Human Solidarity" and "Conflict – why is it still present after the coming of the Promised Messiah (as)".

Human Solidarity

In times of challenge and division, humanity shows its capacity for unity. From combating climate change to fighting poverty, collective action drives progress and inspires hope for a better future. Explore how unity helps overcome adversity and builds a more connected world.

Conflict – why is it still present after the coming of the Promised Messiah (as)

One reason the advent of the Promised Messiah (upon whom be peace) is rejected is because of the commonly held belief that the Messiah would end all conflict and peace will prevail. How can he be a true Messiah if the world is continuously engulfed in war and chaos? Join us as we explore the true purpose of the advent of The Promised Messiah (as) and how peace can be achieved.

Negative emotions like anger, resentment, prejudice and hostility are damaging for our physical and mental health. They

weaken our immune system and increase the risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, ulcers, migraine, insomnia, fatigue,

anxiety, depression and panic attacks. The source of negative emotions has to pay the price, before it can cause damage to

the society. Thus the aggressor becomes a victim to his own venom, and that’s the retribution of Nature.
