Gaza’s Children

18,885 children have been mercilessly killed in Gaza since October 7 2023. Yet another tragedy facing Palestinian children is the trauma of war and the ongoing starvation. In the middle of this bloodshed, the innocence of childhood is being robbed off Gaza's youngsters. What will be of the future of these children that survive these horrors?

Join us as we look at the heartbreaking state of Gaza's children

Blasphemy

Recent cases of Quran burning have reignited debate over blasphemy laws in the UK. Should such laws return, or do they risk causing more harm than good?

ﷺ Join us as we reflect on the Prophet’s merciful response to mockery, examine how blasphemy laws are misused in places like Pakistan, and consider whether legal bans are the right way to balance free expression with respect for faith

Join Zafar Ahmad & Usman Ali Anjum for Thursday’s show where we will be discussing : 'Pay Inequality' and 'Honour Crimes'.

Pay Inequality

In this episode, we explore the pressing issue of pay inequality and how it disproportionately impacts women, undermining both individual dignity and societal progress. We’ll delve into why forcing women out of work—especially for raising families—is not only unjust but detrimental to society’s well-being. Join us as we examine this chalter

lenge through the lens of Islamic teachings, highlighting the faith’s recognition of women’s rights and value.

Honour Crimes

This program uncovers the harsh reality behind so-called "honour crimes"—acts of violence committed against women and girls in the name of preserving family dignity. Despite being framed as cultural or traditional practices, these crimes are rooted in deep-seated patriarchy and gender inequality. Through expert insights, we will reveal how honour is used as a mask to justify abuse, control, and even murder.

Heather Joshi - Retired professor of economic demography

Afrah Qassim -  Founder & CEO of Savera UK, a leading national charity working to end 'honour'-based abuse.

Join Faheem Nasir and Qamar Zafar for Wednesday’s show where we will be discussing : « Homeopathy » and « Holy Quran (Miracles and Discoveries) »

Homeopathy

Homeopathy, founded in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann, is based on the principles of “like cures like” and “the law of infinitesimals.”

Supporters see it as a natural, holistic therapy, while critics argue its extreme dilutions defy science and act no better than placebos. Still, millions worldwide use homeopathy—driven by tradition, personal experience, or mistrust of conventional medicine.

Holy Quran (Miracles and Discoveries)

The Holy Quran, revealed over 1,400 years ago, predicted many of the discoveries today including transportation, women’s rights, pollution, and Genetic Engineering. Showing remarkable alignment between spiritual guidance and scientific discovery.

Join us as we dive into each discovery and its prediction hundreds of years ago.

Guests :

Rashida Aamir (homeopathic practitioner).

Dr. Rejane (physician with over three decades of experience in pediatrics and cardiology, and now a practising homeopath in Ontario.)
