Topic I: BRICS With talk of expansion and a shared currency, BRICS is challenging Western dominance. Some see danger, others hope for balance. Islam, through the teachings of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), offers a timeless blueprint for true success – built on justice, honesty, and cooperation – reminding us that real strength lies in serving humanity, not greed or rivalry. Topic II: Pharmacist Under Pressure Pharmacists are more than medicine experts, they’re the frontline of community care. Need advice on your medication? Want to know if that cough needs a doctor’s visit? Looking for a quick vaccine or a trusted health check without an appointment? Who’s there when the GP is booked up and the clinic is miles away? Your local pharmacist. Accessible, knowledgeable, and always ready to help, not just dispensing medicine, but guiding, supporting, and keeping families healthy. So the real question is: why see them as just dispensers, when they’re truly partners in care? Presenter(s): Imam Saad Ahmad Imam Zakaria Sheikh Hamayun Jahangeer Guest(s): Dr Rex A McKenzie - Senior Lecturer in Economics at Kingston University Nuwaira Khalid – Studying Financial Economics BSc. Farhana Amir – Pharmacist Producer(s): Nuwaira Khalid, Mutbashra Ahmed and Manahil Khalid
