Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Rise of the Far Right as a threat to democracy’ and ‘Divine change - does God change us, or do we change for God?’ Rise of the Far Right as a threat to democracy As the far-right movement gains momentum, a quieter threat to peace, equality, and justice emerges. These ideologies spread hate, counter diversity, and fuel fear through racism and nationalism, targeting immigrants, minorities, and vulnerable groups. Join us as we explore the growing danger of far-right ideologies and their impact on the moral foundation of democracy and human dignity. Divine change - does God change us, or do we change for God? Today, we open our hearts to a timeless question: Is it God who changes us, or do we change for God? In moments of stillness and in life’s turning points, transformation reaches us—but who takes the first step? Join us as we reflect on the journey of divine change, and how our hearts align with the will of the Most Merciful.
