Voice of Islam

In this episode of Pathway to Peace, we listen to accounts of how the blessed month of Ramadan has the ability to bring positive change not only within us, but within the home and society at large. Through the act of fasting and self-reflection, one can wrestle and overcome their personal struggles and addictions. But this month has the potential to bring about macro changes on a much wider scale.

Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Middle East’ and ‘World Peace’

Middle East

Since the attacks on Gaza have intensified yet again, there have been numerous hindrances put in the way of aid getting to the Palestinians. The latest barrier has been the misinformation spread regarding the United Nations Relief & Works Agency (UNRWA), which has been at the forefront of sending food & essentials to the victims. It’s led to suspending funds and ultimately, starvation and disease in Gaza. Why has UNRWA been specifically targeted?

World Peace

The World we see today is one of disorder, conflict and injustice. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of President Vladimir Putin’s security council, who recently told a conference in Moscow that: “The world is sick and quite probably is on the verge of a new world war.” The idea of security, harmony and peace is repeatedly overlooked but there is one place where this can be found in abundance: The Holy Quran!
