Join Qayyum Rashid and Sharjeel Ahmed for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Dementia” and “Al Ghazali”

Dementia

Dementia seems pretty unrelated to the 6 digit letter on your address. However a recent study done by the all-party parliamentary group on dementia, found that your postcode can certainly impact your diagnosis. For instance, in towns like South Hams, the diagnosis rate is less than 50%, whereas in other locations such as Nottingham, the rates exceed 80%. What factors and underlying causes contribute to this disparity in diagnosis rates among towns?

Al Ghazali

Al-Ghazali was a prominent Islamic theologian, philosopher and jurist who lived in the 11th Century. He is one of the most influential figures in Islamic intellectual history and made significant contributions to various fields. Join us as we discuss the life and legacy of this great Islamic scholar.

Food Addiction

1 in 7 adults may be hooked on ultraprocessed foods. From the ice cream in our freezers, to the breakfast cereal on our shelves - most of the meals we consume on a daily basis consist

somewhat of what is referred to as ultra-processed foods. Yet, not a lot of us truly understand the risks and effects of such processed foods on our bodies and daily lives. Join us as we discuss the effects of ultra-processed foods, as well as what we can do to safeguard our bodies from their dangers.

Ibn Arabia

Ibn Arabi is hailed as a very significant figure in the world of philosophy and the study of the human condition. But who was this eminent figure and what exactly were some of his ideas? Join us as we explore some of his most profound and also take a look at how his writings and ideas continue to influence the world today, now that the Messiah has come.
