Join Saad Ahmed for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Marijuana - Why it Shouldn't be Legalised' and ‘Back to School.’

Marijuana - Why it shouldn't be legalised

As global attitudes toward cannabis shift, the debate over its legalisation—especially for recreational use—continues to ignite controversy. As U.S. President Donald Trump considers reclassifying marijuana at the federal level, we ask: what are the real consequences of going down this path? Join us as we unpack the effects of recreational cannabis use—its effects on mental health, cognitive development in young people, and the potential for cannabis to act as a gateway to harder drugs.

Back to School

Summer’s over, the backpacks are packed but how do we make sure this school year is the best one yet? How can we keep the mornings calm, the lunches healthy, and the learning strong? We’re talking smarter routines, starting the day with Fajr and prayer, making time for after-school family moments and mosque visits, and gathering for dinners that feed both body and soul. What about sports and activities, are your kids signed up to stay active and healthy?

Topic I: Palestine Press Targeted into Silence

Journalism in Palestine has become one of the world’s most dangerous professions. Reports by leading human rights bodies reveal that Palestinian journalists are being systematically targeted, through arrests, intimidation, and even killings, in what experts warn could amount to war crimes. The aim appears clear: to silence coverage of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank.

Topic II: Exemplary Youth (Battle of Badr)

The youth of early Islam sacrificed their lives, comfort, and personal desires, driven by an unshakable devotion to Allah’s cause. Their courage, loyalty, and readiness to serve stand as timeless examples of faith in action. Join us as we reflect on their remarkable passion and the lessons it holds for today.

itle: Calm in the Storm: Building Resilience Through Prayer

Synopsis: In this episode of Pathway to Peace, we explore how prayer nurtures resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Resilience isn’t just about self-reliance, it’s about drawing strength from God through prayer, patience, and trust in His wisdom. We revisit an insightful conversation with Dr. Aalia Khan, Dr. Noreen Whittinger, and Dr. Anne-Marie Ionescu on bouncing back from hardship with faith as our anchor. The episode also features an inspiring segment from a conversation about the book Remembrance of Allah by Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad (ra), offering practical guidance on deepening focus in prayer. Together, these reflections show how prayer becomes a wellspring of courage, clarity, and peace, helping us emerge from trials stronger and more purposeful.

Join Danayal Zia and Hanif Khan for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Food Waste’ and ‘Gratitude’

Food Waste

Food waste is one of the biggest environmental issues we face — but you can do something about it. With a few changes like conscious cooking, meal planning and getting creative with leftovers, you're not just saving food, you're creating real change. This is about building a more sustainable future, one meal at a time.

Gratitude

Join us as we explore how gratitude can transform the way we see ourselves, our challenges, and the world around us. We will discuss what gratitude truly means, why it matters, and how its quiet power can bring joy, resilience, and spiritual depth to everyday life.
