Join Salman Qamar, Zafir Ahmad and Usman Ali for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Gen Z are drinking less – a sober curious generation' and 'Halal Lifestyle'. Gen Z are drinking less – a sober curious generation This week marks alcohol awareness week, so join us as we discuss the impact of alcohol on society and individuals, and why more young people are turning away from it. Halal Lifestyle In a world that is flooded with trends, confusion, and noise—Islam offers a timeless compass. Not just a religion, but a guide to living with purpose, balance, and integrity. From moral clarity in emphasizing intention over action and promoting a conscious, holistic living in its emphasis on nourishing our body, mind and soul, to offering an ethical system for every walk of life, in promoting discipline, empathy and self-accountability in all our actions. But how do we productively live by this guidance in a world constantly aimed at pulling us away from it? Join us as we reflect on how to realign with faith, anchor ourselves in Islamic values, and make conscious choices that serve both the soul and society.
