Join Saad Ahmed and Qayyum for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘ Dementia’ and ‘British Muslims and Loyalty?’

Dementia

As people live longer, dementia is becoming a major health and social concern. This episode looks at what dementia is, how it affects the brain, and how it impacts families and communities. Experts discuss the causes and treatments, while carers share their experiences of looking after loved ones and the challenges they face day to day.

British Muslims and Loyalty

The Islamic principle “Hubb ul Watni minal Iman” means “Loving one’s nation is part of faith.” This show explores how Muslim Brits live by this teaching and how their integration shapes British society and its values. Amid rising xenophobia, divisive politics, and identity struggles, we’ll examine the reality of Muslim integration — are British Muslims changing Britain, or helping preserve its true values?

Join Imran Akram and Rana Ata-Ur-Rehman for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘ Racism in Politics’ and ‘London: city of Dreams?’

Racism in Politics

Racism is creeping back into the mainstream, not through slurs, but through politics. Leaders use fear and coded language to divide and distract. What once shocked us now sounds “normal.” It’s time to call it what it is and push back.

London: city of Dreams?

From its charm and chaos to its quirks and contradictions, London has it all. The good and the not so good. Yet beneath the hustle lies history and heart is the city that never stops inspiring. A place of connections where history lives on every corner, and the future is being written every day. Join us as we explore one of the World's most famous city, London!

Saturday Morning Live Podcast 25-10-2025 by Voice of Islam

Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘ UN No longer fit for purpose?’ and ‘Why do we celebrate Black History Month?’

UN No longer fit for purpose?

Created after WWII to preserve peace and justice, the United Nations now faces growing criticism for failing to resolve global crises. From Gaza to climate change, many argue the UN has become powerless, echoing the downfall of the League of

Nations. Is it still capable of delivering on its founding mission, or has it lost its legitimacy? Join us as we explore whether the UN can be reformed or whether the world must look elsewhere for true peace and justice.

Why do we celebrate Black History Month?

Black History Month has been observed in the United Kingdom every October since 1987. Inspired by the US observance, its purpose is to recognise the histories, cultures, and contributions of people of African and Caribbean heritage in Britain, while challenging racism and the omission of Black experiences from mainstream narratives. Join us today and we dive deeper into this month and explore the role it plays in promoting a more inclusive understanding of British history and

identity.

Guests:

Dr. Sophie Scott-Brown - Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews specialising in global governance and democratic engagement.

Carne Ross - Former British diplomat and the founder of Independent Diplomat.
