Join our hosts for Friday's show where we will be discussing: 'Budget 2025: Who wins Who loses' and 'Humanity First : 30 years of Service to Mankind'. Budget 2025 : Who Wins? , Who Loses ? The 2025 Budget signalled a clear shift in tone as the government tried to navigate a tight fiscal position. Although talk of broken manifesto pledges had been circulating for weeks, the announcements still came as a blow to many. The opposition has argued that the Chancellor should step down — but is that fair? Was this an unfair budget, or a set of difficult decisions the government felt it had no choice but to make? Humanity First : 30 years of Service to Mankind Across the world, people are divided by borders, languages, and cultures, yet one bond unites us all, that is, humanity. And humanity must always come first. Today's program is dedicated to celebrating 30 years of service by Humanity First; an organisation that has been serving people across the world with compassion, dignity, and selflessness. Guests: Dr Aziz Ahmad Hafiz – Chairman of Humanity First UK. Producers: Rehana Siddiqua Bhatti, Sana Nadeem and Nabahat Nayyrah
This two-part documentary tells the story of how the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Cardiff grew from a small, scattered group praying in homes and rented halls into the builders of Wales' first purpose-built Ahmadiyya mosque. Through personal memories, historical context and behind-the-scenes insight, it follows their long journey—marked by sacrifice, community outreach and overcoming planning challenges—to finally establish a permanent house of worship.

Join our hosts for Tuesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Digital Battlefield‘ and ‘Modesty and Islam' Digital Battlefield How are platforms like TikTok, Twitter X and Instagram becoming part of the modern battlefield? We look at how states and groups use them for propaganda, recruitment and narrative control, what recent conflicts like Gaza and Sudan reveal about these tactics, and how Islamic teachings on truth and justice guide us in a digital world where information is weaponised. Modesty and Islam Have we traded humility for the spotlight? In today's gaze economy, attention has become a currency, and visibility often matters more than sincerity. Modesty once carried quiet strength, but now it can feel outdated as worth is measured in likes and followers. Join us as we explore how constant self promotion is reshaping identity, intimacy and authenticity — and whether choosing not to be seen might be the most powerful choice of all.
