Voice of Islam

Join Raheel Ahmad & Salman Qamar for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Interfaith’ and ‘Promised Messiah (as): signs fulfilled’

Interfaith

From ancient times to modern-day complexities, the tapestry of human spirituality is rich and varied, yet often woven with threads of misunderstanding, prejudice, and conflict. Join us as we delve into the heart of interfaith relations, exploring the challenges, opportunities, and ongoing efforts to build bridges of understanding and cooperation across religious divides. 

Promised Messiah (as): signs fulfilled

Throughout history, heavenly or divine signs have played a significant role in validating the truth of a prophet’s message. These manifestations, ranging from dreams and visions to various revelations, are not meant to instill fear but to offer guidance and proof of divine support for the prophet's mission. The concept of "revelation" implies the unveiling of truth, and the Promised Messiah(as) mentioned many prophecies that were fulfilled in his lifetime, serving as evidence of his divine mandate and guiding believers towards the correct path. Join us as we discuss signs fulfilled of the Promised Messiah (as).
