Lajna Imaillah was the first auxiliary organisation to be set up in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. This episode will spotlight and celebrate the organisation’s beautiful origins, aims, and achievements. A now multinational organisation run entirely by women, it has gone from strength to strength and commemorated its centenary last year. In an era where a woman’s worth in society is hotly contested, the sisterhood and services of Lajna equip womenkind with the true tools for empowerment. What does it mean to be a part of the “community of servants of Allah”? How do Lajna support each other and wider society?

Join Raza Ahmed, Danayal Zia and Qayyum Rashid for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Poor Britain” and “Middle East”

Poor Britain

Since 2021, there has been a drop in the standards of living in the UK. Now, in 2024, over half of the people in the UK have said that their cost of living crisis has continued to increase too. Join us as we take a look at the cost of living crisis, the changes bought by the Autumn Budget in the UK and the different ways this is impacting people.

Middle East

The genocide in Gaza has led to a regional war, with casualties rising in both Palestine and Lebanon, and tensions growing between Iran and Israel. US involvement, including over $20bn in aid to Israel, is seen as fuelling the conflict, while Russia's actions in the Middle East are complicating its stance in the war in Ukraine
