Join Sheikh Sammar Ahmad and Dr Hasham Ahmad for Thursday's show where we will be discussing: Faith / Poetry

Faith: do we need religion?

Can we have faith without religion? Is belief in God essential to be faithful? Join us LIVE from 4pm to explore why people try to separate the structures of organized religion from their belief systems and the consequences of this.
