Join Raza Ahmed Danayal Zia & Abdul Qayyum Rashid for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Trump Putin: Peace or Power play?’ and ‘Raising children to believe’

Trump Putin: Peace or Power play?

In this one-hour special, we dive deep into the complex world of nuclear energy—a technology that promises clean power but also carries heavy baggage. As the world transitions to cleaner energy, China emerges as a global leader in nuclear development, investing heavily in next-generation reactors and exporting its nuclear technology abroad. What does this mean for the global balance of power and the future of energy?

Join us as we analyze perspective on a critical question of our time: Is nuclear energy a wise path forward, or are we playing with forces beyond our control?

Raising children to believe

In a world filled with distractions, building a strong foundation of faith in children is highly essential. A child’s spiritual foundation is not built overnight; it is cultivated through love, example, and consistent guidance in everyday life. Join us as we discuss ways to build a firm foundation of faith in our children to raise a pious generation for the future.

Join Raheel Ahmad for Thursday’s show where we will be discussing : ‘Fresher’s Guide’ and ‘Organ Donation.

Fresher's Guide

As a new academic year begins, university brings excitement but also challenges— ranging from managing mental health and friendships to handling finances wisely. This episode will guide freshers on how to not only survive, but thrive, making university a wholesome experience instead of one filled with dread and stress.

Organ Donation

With transplant waiting lists at a record high, organ donation has never been more urgent. Campaigns like Turn the Skies Pink aim to raise awareness, challenge myths, and inspire more people to make their wishes known. One donor can save or transform up to nine lives — a legacy of hope that turns loss into renewal. In this show, we explore how this ultimate gift can bring hope and healing. Join us as we reflect on its power to save lives and inspire compassion.

Join Aneeq ur Rehman and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show where we will be discussing : « Populism » and « Jihad »

Populism

From Britain to the heart of Europe, populist movements are gaining ground by turning politics into a battle of blame—targeting migrants, elites, and institutions to tap into public frustration. Join us as we examine how these narratives are shaping political discourse, from Reform UK’s rise to the growing far-right movements across Europe.

Jihad

Violence and extremism — the world thinks that’s Jihad. But that’s wrong. Radical groups have distorted its meaning, creating a global stereotype of Islam as violent. In truth, Jihad simply means “to strive.” Its real purpose has been forgotten by many. Join us as we explore the true meaning of Jihad, the greater and lesser struggles, and clear away the misconceptions.

Topic I: BRICS

With talk of expansion and a shared currency, BRICS is challenging Western dominance. Some see danger, others hope for balance. Islam, through the teachings of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), offers a timeless blueprint for true success – built on justice, honesty, and cooperation – reminding us that real strength lies in serving humanity, not greed or rivalry.

Topic II: Pharmacist Under Pressure

Pharmacists are more than medicine experts, they’re the frontline of community care. Need advice on your medication? Want to know if that cough needs a doctor’s visit? Looking for a quick vaccine or a trusted health check without an appointment? Who’s there when the GP is booked up and the clinic is miles away? Your local pharmacist. Accessible, knowledgeable, and always ready to help, not just dispensing medicine, but guiding, supporting, and keeping families healthy. So the real question is: why see them as just dispensers, when they’re truly partners in care?

Join Hanif Khan & Amaar Ahmad for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Flagging Identities’ and ‘Pressure on Schools’

Flagging Identities

Do you feel proud to fly the Union flag in Britain during the Olympics? Or does it make you feel uncomfortable to see rows of St George’s crosses lining the streets of Birmingham? Are these flags a symbol of unity and patriotism or are they being hijacked for political purposes by those who wish to divide us? These are some of the questions we would like to discuss as we look into how flags reflect our national identity. Join us between 4 and 5 as we go on to consider the

motivational pull of flags.

Pressure on Schools

As classrooms grow fuller and teacher

shortages rise, we ask: are our school

buckling under pressure? The show will

explore how increasing demands, limited

resources, and policy shifts have pushed

educators to the edge. We’ll reflect on the

emotional, physical, and professional toll this

burden takes, and what this means for the

future of education in the UK
