Join our hosts for Monday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Asylum Seekers’ and ‘Gossiping’. Asylum Seekers Asylum seekers are often portrayed in a negative light, but how much of what we hear is fact and how much is misconception? We explore the realities of seeking refuge, challenge common myths and examine why this issue continues to divide opinion. Gossiping Everyday conversations have the power to strengthen relationships or damage them. Join us as we explore the Islamic teachings on gossip, backbiting, and the responsibility of our words, discovering how we can transform our conversations into a means of spreading goodness, protecting the dignity of others, and reflecting the beautiful attribute of Satr—covering the faults of others.
