Date : 18/06/2025 Join Sheikh Sammar Ahmad and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing : « Alcohol » and « Hate Speech ». Alcohol Islam forbids alcohol to protect us—and now science shows why. Even small amounts can cause hidden brain damage, affecting memory and judgement. Over 1 in 20 may be affected without knowing. Protect your mind, protect your faith. Hate Speech Freedom of speech is necessary for open expression however, this expression has come with consequences. Free speech can be seen as a ticket to hatred towards others both in person and on social media. No Hate Speech Week has highlighted the need for preventing and combating hate speech in various days. Join us today as we take a deeper look into the issues that stem from hate speech and how it impacts many people.
