Join Sheikh Sammar Ahmad and Raheel Ahmad for Thursday's show where we will be discussing: Race/Ramadan
Race: Education in schools

Although the UK has been celebrating Black History Month since 1987, the teaching of the history of BAME communities has not been a significant part of the national primary and secondary curriculum. Why is it important to decolonise the curriculum and how will schools address this across all subjects taught? Join us as we discuss these issues in light of the Islamic teachings on racial equality, peace and harmony.

Ramadan: Overcoming materialism
