Join Saad Ahmed and Nosharwan Ahmad for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Summer Riots" and "Private Education."

Summer Riots

The recent riots all across England were at the forefront of news this summer. This has created a safety concern for the public, meaning that the new government will have to work on rebuilding the Justice system following the disorder created by the riots, and come up with a long-term plan to reform the prison system. Join us as we discuss the lasting aftershocks.

Join Raza Ahmed, Danayal Zia, Hanif Khan & Abdul Qayyum Rashid for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Rise and Fall of isms’ and ‘Why did the Promised Messiah (as) appear in India?’

RISE AND FALL OF ISMS

Over the past 100 years or so the world has seen a plethora of isms - colonialism, capitalism, zionism, communism, socialism to name a few. Many of these have already seen their demise while some still ‘appear’ to be thriving. Have capitalism, zionism and fundamentalism peaked? Are we about to witness their fall? Join us for a fascinating discussion as we delve into the history of all of these isms, what they offer to their respective followers in the 21st century and which way they are headed.

WHY DID THE PROMISED MESSIAH (AS) APPEAR IN INDIA?

Why did the Promised Messiah appear in India. What's the significance?

“The Holy Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has said that the Messiah will be raised in the East.” (Ibn Majah).

The Holy Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“The Mahdi will descend near a white minaret in the east of Damascus.” (Muslim).

The second coming of Jesus is predicted in the Bible from the East:

“For as the lightening cometh out of the east and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matt. 24:27).

Why does mankind’s quest for happiness remain elusive? Are we searching for it in the wrong place? After the emptiness of a

life spent in indulgent pleasure seeking, realisation dawns upon us that true happiness lies in giving joy to others.
