Join Imran Akram and Talib Man for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Asylum Seekers being used as political pawns’ and ‘Resilience.’ Asylum Seekers Used as Political Pawns Asylum seekers are being turned into political scapegoats. In a climate shaped by fear, hostility, and the rise of far-right rhetoric from parties like Reform UK, those fleeing war and persecution face rejection instead of refuge. What’s driving this shift and where does our responsibility lie in standing for justice and protecting the vulnerable? Resilience (Never Give Up) In recognition of Never Give Up Day today, this episode explores the strength found in resilience. Through stories of struggle and perseverance, we reflect on how faith, patience, and trust in Allah can transform trials into triumphs.
