Heart Health

The heart is undeniably one of our most

vital organs, central to the cardiovascular

system, pumping blood and supplying

oxygen throughout the body. As World

Heart Day approaches on the 29th of Sept,

it's a great time to reflect on how crucial

heart health is. Join us as we explore the

importance of heart health and share

effective tips for maintaining a healthy

heart.

Ahmadiyyat

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has

three auxiliary bodies: Lajna Imaillah

(women), Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya (youth),

and Ansarullah (elders). These groups foster

spiritual growth, community service, and

leadership within their respective

demographics, strengthening the unity and

mission of the community.

Join Sharjeel Ahmed & Zakaria Sheikh for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Illegal Settlements” and “Arms Trade.”

Illegal Settlements

Since 1948, the map of the Holy Land has shifted, leaving Palestine with Gaza and the West Bank. While recent conflicts focus on Gaza, Israel has illegally settled over 13,000 new homes in the West Bank in 2023, worsening tensions and undermining peace. Despite international law deeming these settlements illegal, enforcement remains uncertain.

Arms Trade

Tune in as we explore the implications of the UK’s recent decision to halt specific arms sales to Israel. We will cover the UK's Decision to Halt Arms Sales to Israel, the Islamic Perspective on Peace and Arms Sales, Global Implications of the UK’s Decision, Ethical and Political, Considerations in Arms Sales, and the Future of the Global Arms Trade.

A reverie delving into the depths of consciousness of Nature’s intangible presence all around us, reawakening the realisation

of Divinely bestowed blessings all around us, the sunny warmth, the refreshing cool wind and a heart at peace, overwhelmed

with all the good things in life and actually feeling the presence of God and knowing that He is near and hears the cries of the

heart! Soothes, comforts and relieves, the sincerest friend in times of need, to whom we can always plead, the ultimate source

of everlasting happiness!

Library Cuts

Join us on Voice of Islam radio as in the UK, over 800 public libraries have closed in the past decade, leading to reduced access to essential services and resources for many communities.
