Title: Faith Leaders vs War: Who Stands For Peace? Synopsis: This episode explores the role of faith leaders in times of war, using the Pope's recent call for peace—and the political backlash to it—as a starting point. It then examines how Islam addresses conflict through the Holy Qur'an and the guidance of Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, highlighting that he has consistently called for peace, justice, and global unity for over two decades through international peace conferences and speeches. The discussion draws out shared values between faiths while asking why, despite clear moral guidance, the world continues to choose division over peace. Presenters: Arif Khan & Sufyan Farooqi

Join our hosts for Tuesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Prayer – an act of domination?' and ‘Segregation in Islam' Prayer – an act of domination? Public expressions of Muslim faith have sparked debate about whether they “dominate” shared spaces. In a fair society, all religions must have an equal right to express their beliefs— without double standards. In Islam, prayer is submission to God, not control over others, promoting humility, discipline, and respect. Such acts are peaceful and non-imposing. Join us as we explore whether prayer is truly domination, or a reflection of freedom and coexistence.

Join our hosts for Friday's show where we will be discussing 'Youth Unemployment' and 'Siblings' Youth Unemployment Youth unemployment remains a pressing issue in the UK, with nearly 950,000 young people struggling to find work despite being ready and willing to contribute. With new initiatives being put into place for employers to hire younger people, it seems the question still remains - is this truly enough? Siblings: lessons from religious history The stories of siblings in Islam highlight both the best and worst of human behaviour. From jealousy and betrayal to patience and forgiveness, they offer profound lessons that remain relevant today. Reflecting on these narratives encourage us to purify our hearts, strengthen our relationships, and strive for righteousness in all aspects of life. Join us as we discuss some of these sibling stories and lessons we can learn from them to implement in our lives.
