Join Saad Ahmed and Norsharwan Ahmad for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Old Age’ and ‘Hazrat Musleh Maud'

Old Age - A long and lonely journey?

The life expectancy in comparison to over 100 years ago has more than doubled. Across the world, people are living longer. In 1900, the average life expectancy of a newborn was 32 years. By 2021 this had more than doubled to 71 years. As people live longer do they also experience a fulfilling social life in old age? According to Age UK, more than 2 million people in England over the age of 75 live alone, and more than a million older people say they go over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour or family member.

Elections 2024

2024 has become the year of elections. With over 40 countries holding elections in the coming year, democracy has become a key subject for billions of people across the globe. Join us today as we discuss the global elections taking place and the possible democratic backslide that has become a point of concern for many.

Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood ra

At the age of 19, Sahibzada Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (may Allah be pleased with him) offered himself for the Waqf (dedicated his life to serve the Jama’at) and soon formed Anjuman Tashheezul Azhaan (Organization for the sharpening of intellect) and under its supervision, started a magazine of the same name, through which the work of religious education for children was carried out.

Early in 1911, with the permission of Hazrat Hakeem Nooruddin, Khalifatul-Masih I (may Allah be pleased with him), founded the Anjuman Ansarullah (Organization of Helpers of Allah) to propagate the teachings of Islam. Over a period of 52 years His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmood Ahmad (may Allah be pleased with him) tried his utmost to serve Islam in the best possible way. This show looks very briefly at some of them.

Join Hanif Khan for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Cancel Culture' and 'Nature’

Cancel Culture

Cancel culture is primarily driven by social media and the internet, but how do we find a balance between accountability and the freedom of expression. Striking this balance is essential to address valid concerns about harmful behaviour while upholding principles of fairness, open discourse, and individual rights.

Nature

Nature never fails to leave us in awe. From the spectacular galaxies to the tiny one celled organisms, the sheer beauty and balance of it leaves us breathless in wonderment. And forces us to ponder on who the creator is? Join us as we talk about the flawlessness of nature and the God’s perfect design.
