Voice of Islam

Join Imran Akram for Monday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Food Crisis” and "Islam and Science"

Global Hunger

We will discuss the challenges and decline of sustainable food globally. How the food crisis and price increases have been fuelled by conflict and climate change. The sudden impact of worldly events such as COVID-19, Brexit and the Ukraine War. Join us as we look at the current economic impacts our world is facing.

Islam and Science

From the Big Bang Theory to Pharmaceutical Sciences, Islam and Science have gone hand in hand since the start of the era. However only 3 Muslims have received a Nobel Prize in Sciences. Is it due to the lack of Muslim Scientist or not enough opportunities for Muslims? Or is Islam just not relevant to Modern Sciences? None of the above carry any hint of truth. Yet still, a Muslim name in developing scientific research, especially in Medicine, seems to always be missing. Why is that?

Title: United Nations: is it fit for purpose?

Synopsis: In this episode of Pathway to Peace, we take a look at the institution of the United Nations, given the marking of United Nations Day on 24th October. United Nations Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN Charter. With the ratification of this founding document by the majority of its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security Council, the United Nations officially came into being. There is no other global organization with the legitimacy, convening power and normative impact of the United Nations, and yet despite its coming into being, we have seen numerous conflicts emerging and things only appear to be getting worse. The Presenters explore the history of the United Nations and how it came into being; as well as trying to understand where its faults lie and why in its current format it is severely struggling to bring about peace between nation states.

Presenters: Kalim Anwer, Anil Tahir & Shams Najum
