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

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is based on the principle of "like cures like," suggesting that a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can cure similar symptoms in a sick person when administered in highly diluted doses. Join us as we explore how homeopathy emphasises individualised treatment, considering not just

physical symptoms but also the emotional and mental well-being of each person. We

will also discuss alternative medicines, and rules and regulation regarding these.

Religious Services

Join us as we explore the importance of weaving religious services into the fabric of

everyday life, especially through the lens of Islam. Throughout our program, we'll uncover the profound impact that these

services can have on individuals, offering

spiritual nourishment and guidance to those seeking a deeper connection with their faith.

Join Sheikh Zakria and Nosharwan Rashid for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Religion and Health“ and “Raising Boys”

Religion and Health

Recent studies suggest that individuals with religious beliefs may have experienced lower levels of unhappiness and stress compared to those without religious affiliations. The "spirituality of Science" offers awe and wonder reminiscent of religious experiences, correlating with positive health outcomes. Join us as we delve deeper into this topic, gaining insights into our place in the universe and our role within the larger system.

Raising Boys

In a world where traditional masculinity is being redefined, the journey of raising boys into empathetic, emotionally intelligent men has never been more crucial. By challenging stereotypes and encouraging diverse forms of expression, parents can empower their sons to embrace their individuality and cultivate empathy towards others. Join us as we examine the role of parental influence and societal expectations in shaping boys' perceptions of masculinity

Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Extremism Definition“ and “University”

Extremism Definition

The British government have come up with a new definition of extremism, where those who qualify for it would not have funding from the government. The group that would be most impacted would be the Muslims. And many are concerned that it would lead to unfair targeting of Muslims.

University

University degrees have become a thought provoking and complex topic in recent years. With rising cost of tuition, the value of degrees in today's job market, alternative educational paths, and the societal pressure to pursue higher education are some of the aspects under discussion.

In this show, we will critically examine the pros and cons of attending university and ultimately asks the question: Is the investment of time and money in a traditional college education truly worth it?

Title: The Anxious Generation: Islamic Insights for Inner Calm

Synopsis: In a recently published book titled, ‘The Anxious Generation’, the authors set out the premise that society has effectively rewired childhood and created an epidemic of mental illness. In a world in which we are always ‘on’ and exposed to ever more social media channels and feeds, is there any truth to this argument? What are the root causes of anxiety? These are just some of the questions that will be tackled in this week’s episode of Pathway To Peace; as well as taking a look at how Islam provides a profound and holistic framework to navigate these challenges and attain a sense of inner calm.

Presenters: Kalim Anwer, Shams Najum & Anil Tahir
