Join Talib Man & Safeer Zartasht Khan for Monday’s show from 4-6 pm where we will be discussing: ‘ Unhealthy Children' and ‘#Reclaim Social

Unhealthy children

The state of our nation's children serves as a barometer for the country's overall direction. How we treat our children reflects our societal priorities. Independent statistics highlight a troubling mental health crisis among young people, with 200,000 children awaiting treatment and a 90% surge in hospital admissions for eating disorders over the past five years, followed by a further 35% increase in 2021/22. Join us as we delve into this matter, exploring Islamic perspectives on children's health.

#Reclaim Social

Reclaim Social Day is a global movement which takes place every year on February 6th. In an age of widespread hate and misinformation in social media, can we #Reclaim Social media to show its positive aspects? Join us LIVE as we discuss the benefits of social media, and how you can use it to benefit society and have a positive impact on others.

Join Raza Ahmed, Qayyum Rashid and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘ Palestine' and ‘Antibiotic Resistance’

Palestine

Genocide; we have heard this word a lot over the last few months. It’s hard to believe humanity could possibly commit such atrocities, let alone repeat it. The painful conflict in Gaza has been one of the most documented in our history. Why, then, is there so much disagreement and hesitation to acknowledge this? Is it truly a genocide? Or is there some justification for everything? Join us as we discuss the aching reality of what’s happening in the land of Gaza, Palestine.

Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance poses a major threat to human health globally. The number of severe antibiotic-resistant infections in England rose by 2.2% in 2021 compared to 2020. UK health officials are warning of a ‘hidden pandemic’ of antibiotic resistant infections if people fail to act responsibly after Covid. Join us as we discuss the spread of antibiotic resistant infections and the

ways to prevent it. How much is popularity linked with a person's qualities? According to researchers, being a popular and likeable person depends on certain traits. However, these can vary amongst some groups who have different expectations attached to them. So what are the characteristics which make you more admired?

Join Raheel Ahmad for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Hijab' and ‘Interfaith Harmony’

Hijab

It’s international hijab day. Whilst modesty is revered by Muslim women as their right, the hijab has been a source of many political debates and bans in various nations. Why is what Muslim women wear such a bone of contention and why is modesty so important to Muslims?

Interfaith Harmony

In an ideal Islamic world, there is interfaith tolerance and unity regardless of race or culture. Let’s delve into the life of the Holy Prophet (saw) to learn how this ideal world can be achieved in a time where segregation and inequality is prevalent.
