Join Raza Ahmed, Qayyum Rashid and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Housing and health’ and ‘Propagating Ahmadiyyat’

Housing and health

Quality of life and health are intertwined. It has been reported that millions of people in England suffer from ill-health as a result of poor housing. For a number of years now, the UK has had a housing crisis. Whilst dampness affects physical health, lack of suitable and affordable shelter impacts the mental health of people. What needs to be done to end this crisis and support those

affected by it?

Join Tariq Bajwa and Aneeq Ur Rehman for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing “Mental Health and Faith” and “Ancient Languages”

Mental Health and Faith

Talking about mental health is a big taboo in most faith communities as it not talked about often and is seen as a 'weakness'. Join us today as we dedicate an hour to talking about how changes are being made to ensure everyone can talk about mental health freely.

Ancient Languages

From the first spoken words to what we speak today, language has come a long way. Some languages, such as Arabic, have even persisted over time and influenced several languages spoken all over the world today. Let’s retrace our steps back to ancient civilisations and see what we can learn from this journey.

Join Sharjeel Ahmad and Saad Ahmed for Tuesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Youth Gambling” and "Parenting"

Youth Gambling

Recent research suggests that children as young as 10 are developing an addiction to gambling. Gambling advertisements are rising the risks, which is particularly concerning as children are constantly exposed to gambling advertisements on TV and online.

Parenting

The way we parent can and does have lifelong impacts on our children. Studies show that verbal abuse can be as traumatic as physical abuse with some victims growing up and facing long term issues such as self harm and anxiety. Join us as we discuss the need to be role models and create peace at home where children feel loved and respected.
