Voice of Islam

Global events are having an impact at home with racism and Islamophobia on the rise in the UK in the past six months. Nobody can deny that tensions for many communities are currently at an all time high. Conflict rages across many regions of the world, drawing global players further and further towards the brink of war. For some here in the UK, these events may seem far away and distant but scratching beneath the surface shows that tensions are rising with our society too.

In this episode of Pathway to Peace the Presenters will discuss why bigotry is a threat to peace and what Islamic solutions can be found for this social, political and personal malady.

Presenters: Sarah Ward, Alia Sami & Farah Baig

Student Encampments

Student encampments, often referred to as student protests or sit-ins, have played a significant role in shaping educational institutions and broader societal landscapes. From advocating for better educational facilities and policies to addressing broader social and political injustices, student encampments have proven to be powerful tools for change. Join us as we discuss the rise in university students' encampment across the world against Israel’s military actions and injustices in Palestine.

Join Aneeq Ur Rehman and Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing “Anger Management” and “Miracles”

Anger Management

What makes us angry? What happens when we get angry? Can we learn to control our

anger? Join us as we discuss the psychological aspects of anger, discussing how uncontrolled anger can lead to harmful behaviours and affect mental health.

Miracles

There is not only one role that stories of miracles have in the major world religions, and there is strong disagreement over their significance. It is worth noting that none of the scriptures of Judaism, Christianity and Islam use the word ‘miracle. Instead, all three use words that mean ‘wonder’, ‘power ‘or, very often, ‘sign’ to describe those events that are known to be miraculous. We will discuss the true understanding of religious miracles.
