Title: The voice they can't ignore: The World Agrees with a Muslim Caliph

Synopsis: In this edition of The Pathway to Peace we explore how prominent world leaders and scholars are now echoing the long-standing warnings of His Holiness the Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community regarding global warfare and injustice. We look at what various figures, including the Prime Ministers of Spain and Slovakia and the Pope, who describe a world "sleepwalking" into a piecemeal Third World War while international law and the United Nations become increasingly ineffective.

Join our hosts for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Modern Food' and 'Faith and Focus'

Modern Food

We are currently living through a dietary crisis, with over half of the calories consumed in the UK now coming from Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs). This show unpacks the reality of the modern supermarket, exploring hidden artificial additives, the illusion of “healthy” packaging, and how chemically engineered foods directly impact our physical health and mental wellbeing. Has the food industry sacrificed our health for convenience and mass profit?

Faith and Focus

We live in a world full of distractions and an economy based on our attention. Over the past year’s meditation and mindfulness have become billion dollar businesses, due to the rise of mental health issues. Yet Islam has been teaching mindful practices for over 1400 years now. It encourages us to pay attention to our thoughts, our actions and our body. In this episode we dive into the timeless practices that Islam has taught Muslims to be present in life.
