With all eyes on the Middle East and the whole world witnessing the suffering of Palestinian civilians, Labour is advocating for an ICC investigation into war crimes committed by Israel. Should the UK government support Labour's call? Join us as we discuss whether the ICC should be allowed to undertake an investigation and the legal aspects that need to be considered.

Discover how the unwavering spirit of Palestinians resonates with individuals beyond the Muslim faith, inspiring a closer examination of the Holy Quran's wisdom and guidance. Through compelling narratives, we'll delve into the intersection of human resilience and the Holy Quran's universal messages, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation among diverse audiences.

Join Salman Qamar and Faheem Nasir for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Religion and happiness' and 'Allah the Merciful’

Religion and happiness studies show that people of faith in Britain are significantly happier than atheists and non-religious people. In this show, we will explore the concepts behind happiness and satisfaction in today’s world. Similarly, how does religion give satisfaction and happiness in an individual’s life?

Allah the Merciful

The attribute of "the Most Merciful" is a central and profound attribute of Allah Almighty. It emphasises Allah's boundless compassion, kindness and forgiveness towards His creation. Muslims believe that Allah's mercy is all-encompassing, extending to every living being, and is greater than any human understanding.
