Join Raheel Ahmad for Thurssday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Burqa Ban: UK Politics’ unhealthy obsession with it’ and ‘Firm foundations: how upbringing shapes destiny’. Burqa Ban: UK Politics’ unhealthy obsession with it In a country that values free expression and religious tolerance, why does a piece of clothing spark such controversy? Is this really about security, or something deeper? Can banning clothing be called liberation, or is it a distraction from broader social issues? We explore why British politics remains fixated on outlawing the burqa. Why does this debate resurface during elections and media storms? Firm foundations: how upbringing shapes destiny It is often said that our actions shape our destiny, but how deeply do they influence the destinies of others? In this thought-provoking show, we journey back to our firm foundation, childhood and family. Through the lens of Islamic teachings on motherhood and moral development, we explore how early upbringing shapes individuals and, in turn, entire societies.
