Belief in the Unseen According to the Holy Quran, the first sign of what makes a believer, is believing in the unseen. This is something seen as at odds with science, which requires proof for what exists. However, just as things like waves can't be seen, but are proven by their affects, so too does religion teach belief in the unseen. Join us as we delve deeper into this concept. Producers: Dania Nasir and Fezia Haq

Gender Roles Modern discussions on gender often push absolute equality, treating men and women as identical.

Join us as we discuss how free 'free speech' really is and why Palestine is such a contentious issue. Response to ‘Satanic Verses' Salman Rushdie's book 'The Satanic Verses' caused controversy around the world with its allegations against Islam.

Join Imam Safeer Ahmed and Imam Samar for Wednesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Nursing Crisis and Laylatul Qadr'. Nursing Crisis There are 21% fewer nursing students starting courses at universities across the UK than three years ago. This doesn't come as a surprise as nurses have been underpaid and overworked for some time now. However, Nurses in England have rejected the 5.5% pay rise they were given for this year, in a move that may lead to them to start striking again in pursuit of higher salaries which is a fundamental shift in nursing staff standing up for themselves. Laylatul Qadr Laylatul Qadr, also known as The Night of Decree, is one of the most sacred nights in the Islamic calendar. It is a night of immense spiritual significance, celebrated during the last ten days of Ramadan. Muslims around the world seek this night with fervent prayer, reflection, and worship, hoping to attain its blessings and mercy. What makes Laylatul Qadr so special?
