Join Samar Ahmed and Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show where we will be discussing “Children of Gaza” and “Battle of the Ditch”

Children of Gaza

When we think of children, we picture

laughter, smiles, innocence, and endless

curiosity. But the words “children in

Gaza” bring a much darker reality: cries,

orphans, wounds, fear, and young lives

surrounded by rubble and weapons.

These kids play among ruins, try to learn

in bombed classrooms, and never know if

they’ll see tomorrow or their loved ones

again.

Join us on today’s show as we uncover

Execution of Innocence in Gaza—a

heartbreaking look at how young lives

become the silent victims of war.

Battle of the Ditch

Battle of the Trench, which took place in

5 AH, or February/March 627 AD, was an

early Muslim victory that ultimately

forced the Meccans to recognize the

political and religious strength of the

Muslim community. Join us as we explore

the events of the battle and the lessons

we learn in fortitude and perseverance.
