Title: Achieving Inner Peace: In memory of Nasir Sajjad

Synopsis: In this episode, we're honouring the legacy of our dear brother Nasir Sajjad who we recently lost. Nasir was one of the earliest presenters on the Pathway to Peace show, and he helped to make the show what it is today. His ability to convey complex ideas to the layman was what made his presenting style so enjoyable to listen to. He was an individual whose heart radiated with faith and whose conversations on the Voice of Islam Radio were a source of enjoyment and reflection.

In this commemorative special episode, we revisit some of Nasir’s now cherished musings on how to find tranquillity amidst the challenges of modern day life. He worked on more then 70 episodes of Pathway to Peace, sharing his breadth of experiences and advice on matters ranging from: Economics to technology and politics to psychology.

Each episode is a testament to the enduring message of Islam: that true peace is found through fulfilling the rights that are due to God; and the rights that are due to fellow man.

World Peace: Achievable in 2025?

As we close a year marked by political unrest, war, and acts of genocide across multiple regions, we look to the year ahead and ask: what lies in store for peace, justice, and human rights? Can we foster resilience and hope in the face of these global crises, and what steps can be taken to prevent further suffering and build a more compassionate world?

Join Raheel Ahmad & Usman Ali Anjum for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Palestine Support leading to Censorship' and 'Unity'.

Palestine Support leading to Censorship

This past year has seen an intensified crackdown on pro-Palestine activists and journalists. What methods are being used by government and media to suppress pro-Palestinian voices, and what are the consequences? Join us as we discuss resisting censorship and repression.

Unity

As Palestine continues to be bombarded, Muslims ask why no leader stands up for them? Where is the unity? The world watches as injustice towards Muslims continues. What is the reason for the disunity in Muslims today and what is needed to revive the faith?

Join Aneeq Ur Rehman and Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing “Connecting the Youth to God Almighty” and “Caricatures and the Islamic Response”

Connecting the Youth to God Almighty

Muslims should raise their children with a

strong connection to God Almighty by

nurturing love and reverence for Him from an

early age, incorporating regular prayer,

Quranic teachings, and remembrance of Allah

into daily life. Parents should lead by

example, demonstrating faith through their

actions and fostering a home environment

rooted in spirituality, gratitude, and moral

values.

Caricatures and the correct Islamic Response

In France, a teacher was tragically murdered

for showing a caricature of the Prophet

Muhammad (peace be upon him)—a crime

Islam itself does not condone. Islam

discourages images of prophets to prevent

idolatry and uphold their sanctity, but

violence contradicts its teachings. Join us as

we discuss freedom of expression without

disrespecting one another.
