Join Raza Ahmad and Mabroor Farrukh for Thursday's show where we discussing: Depicting God/Poetry

Depicting God- Beyond Blasphemy

The use of artistic imagery has played a large role in shaping people's beliefs about the image and existence of God, yet is forbidden in Islam – why?

Poetry – Channelling Emotions

Poetry is in motion all around us, from anti-racism activists using poetry to drive structural change to children penning emotions during the lockdown – poetry helps channel emotions, especially in difficult times.
