Join Raza Ahmed and Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing “Farming” and “Religious Nones”

Farming

UK farming is facing a crisis with Brexit causing trade disruptions and labour shortages, alongside climate change affecting crops and livestock. According to a report by the National Farmers' Union, nearly 75% of farmers are concerned about the impact of these challenges on their businesses and livelihoods, highlighting the severity of the situation. Join us to discuss the build up of this farming crisis in light of Islamic teachings on having trust in Allah in the face of extreme weather conditions.
