Join Zakaria Sheikh and Nosh Zaffar for Tuesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Space- Is anyone out there?" and "Science and Islam"

Space- Is anyone out there?

We live in a universe that is vast and spans incomprehensible distances, containing billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars. Many scientists believe that we are not alone in the universe. The vastness of the universe and the growing knowledge of exoplanets suggest the possibility of life beyond earth. Join us as we explore the topic of life beyond earth and discuss the Islamic point of view on the existence of extra-terrestrial life.

Science and Islam

In today’s age, science and religion seem to contradict one another. Many cannot even fathom similarities between science and religion, let alone believing in their coexistence. However, how true is this? Can science and religion coexist? Can we put our belief in one, without contradicting the other? Join us as we discuss the relevance of science and religion in this world and our personal lives.

Join Imran Akram for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Childhood Obesity" and "Bloodthirsty Messiah"

Childhood Obesity

4.2 million children in the UK are living in poverty and 1 in 3 children are overweight or obese. The last 5 years has see more than a 50% surge in the number of children being treated at paediatric diabetes units. Will the cut of PE hours only increase the risk of child obesity?

Bloodthirsty Messiah

Where most beliefs overlap is their wait for the return of the Messiah. A saviour who will revive their faith and champion over all other faiths but how is where Ahmadi Muslims and other faiths disagree. A peaceful mission in the footsteps of the Holy Prophet Muhammadﷺ is the view of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Join us to find out why there is no such concept as a bloody messiah in Islam and how the Promised Messiah's mission is changing hearts and spreading the message of Islam to the far corners of the earth.
