Child Poverty
Child hunger and poverty in the UK is rising and the two child benefit cap is also adding to the stress on impoverished families. Recent conversation with the labour party has shown that officials do not consider the cap to be a cause of concern and have no plan on changing it. Join us as we discuss and analyse how the two-child benefit has impacted families as well as driven child poverty in the last few years.
Zakaat
Zakaat is a religious obligation for Muslims to donate a certain portion of their wealth each year to charitable causes. It is mandatory for all Muslims, who fulfil a certain criteria and is considered to be a form of worship. Join us as we show how this pillar of Islam actually leads to a better and more just society.
