Join our hosts for Friday's show where we will be discussing 'Youth Unemployment' and 'Siblings'

Youth Unemployment

Youth unemployment remains a pressing issue in the UK, with nearly 950,000 young people struggling to find work despite being ready and willing to contribute. With new initiatives being put into place for employers to hire younger people, it seems the question still remains - is this truly enough?

Siblings: lessons from religious history

The stories of siblings in Islam highlight both the best and worst of human behaviour. From jealousy and betrayal to patience and forgiveness, they offer profound lessons that remain relevant today. Reflecting on these narratives encourage us to purify our hearts, strengthen our relationships, and strive for righteousness in all aspects of life. Join us as we discuss some of these sibling stories and lessons we can learn from them to implement in our lives.

Join our hosts for Wednesday’s show where we will be discussing: ‘Is racism becoming more acceptable in the UK?’ and ‘Children as innocent victims of war.’

Is racism becoming more acceptable in the UK?

With the rise of Reform and anti Muslim hate, has racism itself become more normalised and tolerated in the UK? How can we reverse this?

Children as innocent victims of war

War is often spoken about in terms of politics, power and territory, but it is children who suffer some of the deepest scars. From losing their homes and families to growing up in fear, hunger and trauma, innocent lives are too often shaped by conflicts they did not choose. Join us as we explore the devastating impact of war on children, why their suffering must never be ignored and how Islamic teachings call for mercy, justice and the protection of the most vulnerable.
