The Theme for this show is ‘Jesus and Islam’.

The prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) is mentioned at numerous places throughout the Holy Quran, so, if you really love Jesus, and want to know more about him, then you need to read about him in the Holy Quran, as without reading about him in this most widely read book on Earth, you can never really say that you know him.

The first poem come from the inspiring words of sister Faiza Kiran with her poem titled ‘The Game of Trinity’, and share the true teachings of Jesus and his belief in the one God.

The second poem is actually a Christian hymn, and a Hymn for that matter which happens also to be the most famous Hymn of all times. "Amazing Grace" was published in 1779 by the English Anglican clergyman and poet John Newton and is without a doubt the most famous of all the Christian and secular folk hymns, with a message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God.

The Third poem is from the acclaimed poet Furqan Mehmud from Fitchburg, Massachusetts in the USA with his poem on the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) titled - Eli Eli Lama Sabakh thani. And just by way of introduction, this poem is based around his final whilst words on the cross, where he cried with a loud voice ““Eli, Eli, lama sabakh thani” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34)

The fourth poem may come to many as a bit of a shock. Why? Because there is quite a lot to take on, and the evidence quoted stands on solid rock. Eloquently written and presented by the acclaimed poet Dr Bushra Khan with her poem titled: “Jesus Christ, son of Mary”.

The final poem was written by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah. The Messiah that was expected to follow the messenger of Allah, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and that would revive Islam, and to bring back the lost teachings of the pure Islam, just as Jesus’s mission was to bring back the lost teachings of the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him).

This poem was originally written in Urdu, and the English translation is presented which provides just an essence of the original poetical gems. The poem is titled: “Death of Jesus of Nazareth”.

Synopsis: In this week's episode of Pathway to Peace, we delve into the profound inspiration drawn from the resilience and faith exhibited by the Palestinian people. In the face of turmoil, the global community has rallied for a ceasefire, a collective plea for an end to the heart-wrenching scenes that have inundated our screens.

Join Raza Ahmed, Qayyum Rashid and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Cobalt mining' and 'Anti christ '

Cobalt mining

There is little media attention on the human atrocities and injustice that is happening at the cost of cobalt and copper mining in Congo. With the use of child labour, abuse, exploitation and

more, thousands have been killed or left with lifelong changes. Join us as we look at how ethical 'clean' energy really is and what is driving the demand for these minerals.

Anti christ

Dajjal is a term in Arabic that means “the great deceiver.” It is a sign of the Latter Days and signifies the Satanic forces that would unleash at the time of coming of the Messiah. Amongst Muslims and Christians the concept of Dajjal or anti christ remains an obscure phenomenon. Today we will discuss how Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) has clarified this.

Join Raheel Ahmad & Safeer Ahmad Zartasht for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Muslims leaders' and 'What is the reason for our existence'

Muslim Leaders

“Tell Muslim countries not to offer funeral prayers for us. We are alive and you are dead.” - A Palestinian

This perspective of a Palestinian, whose hopes were not placed in major nations but rather in the Muslim and Arab world. Leaders whose voices may resonate loudly on social media and in interviews, but their actions remain silent. In reality, have the UK and USA let down the Palestinians, or is it the Muslim Ummah?

What is the reason for our existence

In a materialistic world, the pursuit of reason serves as a compass guiding individuals to discern the purpose of their lives amidst the tangible complexities and aspirations that surround them. In a world where both good and evil exits, Islam directs humans to establish a morally esteemed designation and enrich their life with worldly and spiritual pleasures. Join us for a soul-searching journey as we delve into the profound question: What is the purpose of my life?
