Drivetime Show Podcast 12-07-2024 - Trials and Religion – is it offensive?

Date: 12/07/24

Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Trials’ and ‘Religion – is it offensive?’

Trials

Are the challenges we face in life merely coincidences, or are they tests from Allah to strengthen our faith? How should we interpret these trials according to Islamic teachings? Join us as we delve into the Islamic understanding of life's trials and tests. We'll explore how challenges are seen as tests from Allah, designed to build our resilience and deepen our faith.

Religion – is it offensive?

The perception of religion as offensive often stems from its clash with modern secular values, leading to societal friction. Some argue that religion provides essential moral guidance and purpose, while others find comfort in personal spirituality but distance themselves from organised practices. Join us as we show how religion should never be offensive but a means of bringing people together.
