Human Trafficking

In recognition of the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons today, this episode sheds light on one of the gravest violations of human dignity in our time: human trafficking. From forced labor to modern-day slavery, we explore this global crisis through the lens of Islamic teachings that emphasize justice and the protection of the  vulnerable.

Shockingly, only 1 in 20 people in the UK feel confident enough to help in an emergency, yet thousands of lives could be saved each year if more of us were trained. Join us as we explore why first aid matters, the real statistics behind the skills, and how simple knowledge could make you the difference between life and death

Breakfast Show Podcast 04-08-2025 : A Challenge to truth & Better Futures Fund

Join Imran Akram and Saad Ahmad for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Islamophobia’ and 'Parents: Blessing not a burden'

Islamophobia

Islamophobia involves prejudice and discrimination against Muslims, but efforts to tackle it can sometimes conflict with the right to free speech. The government has given itself six months to define Islamophobia with input from a working group, though critics warn this could be divisive and risk curbing open debate.

Parents: Blessing not a burden 

In an age where the elderly are often placed in care homes and forgotten, we will explore the emotional, ethical, and spiritual imperative of caring for one’s parents. Highlighting the Islamic commandment to serve aging parents with love and humility, the show reclaims the narrative: parents are not a burden — they are a source of blessings and a path to Paradise.

 Guests:

Ms. Amina Shareef

Imam Sabahuddin Ahmedi

Murabbi Tariq Azeem - Imam of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community serving in Jamaica

Saba Ahmad - Canadian Certified Counsellor who specializes in supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges
