Join our hosts for Thursday’s show where we will be discussing: ‘Media Literacy’ and 'Need for the Promised Messiah (as)' Media literacy What if the same message could mean completely different things to different people? Why do we so often misunderstand each other online and how much of that comes from how we interpret what we see? Join us as we explore media literacy and how personal biases, tone, and lack of context shape the way we understand information on the internet, often leading to conflict, misinformation, and unnecessary assumptions. Need for the Promised Messiah (as) Opponents of the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), argue that his claim came before its time when the world did not yet need a reformer. Join us as we explore whether the late 19th century was, in fact, an extraordinary age. A time when nearly every major religion awaited a divinely appointed saviour, when moral and spiritual decline was widespread, and when the signs foretold in the Holy Quran and the prophecies of the Holy Prophet (saw) were becoming manifest. Was this truly the moment history had been waiting for? Guests: Mark Frankel - Head of Public Affairs, Full Fact Savini Yasanayake - Psychology Undergraduate Producers: Mahira Ramzeen

Detailed synopsis: Welcome to a journey of the Cosmos on the wings of perception! This is not merely a voyage of sight, but of spirit, into the unfathomable expanse of the Universe and the realisation of our humble insignificanc in it. Our souls bow in humility and awesome wonder to the exalted Creator beyond it. “Our pale blue dot lost in expanse of an unfathomly vast Universe, Tinier than a grain of sand in the Sahara, smaller than a mere drop in the ocean, Awestruck by the immense Cosmos, we are humbled by our Cosmic Insignificance!”

Title: Faith Leaders vs War: Who Stands For Peace? Synopsis: This episode explores the role of faith leaders in times of war, using the Pope’s recent call for peace—and the political backlash to it—as a starting point. It then examines how Islam addresses conflict through the Holy Qur’an and the guidance of Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, highlighting that he has consistently called for peace, justice, and global unity for over two decades through international peace conferences and speeches. The discussion draws out shared values between faiths while asking why, despite clear moral guidance, the world continues to choose division over peace. Presenters: Arif Khan & Sufyan Farooqi
