After reports that newly created accounts wagered $1.2 million ahead of a U.S. strike on Iran, concerns have grown that nonpublic military knowledge is being monetised. Join us as we ask if wars are simply fought, or are they also driven by profit, enriching a few while the cost is borne by many?

End Times and the Iran War

How are governments using religious sentiment to build support and justify conflict; invoking ideas like Armageddon and the Rapture to rally people behind political aims?

Join our hosts for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Prayer – an act of domination?’ and ‘Segregation in Islam’

Prayer – an act of domination?

Public expressions of Muslim faith have sparked debate about whether they “dominate” shared spaces. In a fair society, all religions must have an

equal right to express their beliefs— without double standards. In Islam, prayer is submission to God, not control over others, promoting humility, discipline, and respect. Such acts are peaceful and non-imposing.

Join us as we explore whether prayer is truly domination, or a reflection of freedom and coexistence.

Segregation in Islam

Segregation returned to the headlines last month after events in Trafalgar Square, with claims it conflicts with British values.

Join us as we showcase how segregation is about choice and the empowerment of women, creating spaces where they feel comfortable to participate fully on their own terms

The theme for this Programme is ‘Belief in the Unseen’.

The first poem is from brother Nasar Bhunoo who shares his thought and reflection on this theme in his fabulous unique style. The second poem is from the welcoming words of Imam Abdul Ghaffar Adam originally from Ghana and who is from long time serving as a Missionary who presents his poem titled ‘The Athiest’. The third poem was inspired by the life of the Prophet Noah and titled ‘The Ark’ by the very talented sister Saira Tahir.

The fourth poem brings the unseen to a message clear and bright about her faith in God and what she knows is right, a poem called The Word of God by Sister Mufleeha Saleem. The final poem was inspired by a single verse of the Holy Quran with her poem titled ‘Light Upon Light’ by the very talented sister Rizwana Aziz.
