Join our hosts for Friday’s show where we will be discussing: ‘Education in Gaza’ and ‘Dreams’. Education in Gaza: Education has become a powerful symbol of hope in Gaza under the harshest conditions. For students and teachers alike, education is not simply about academic achievement; it is an assertion of life, continuity, and the belief in a future beyond war. Dreams: What are dreams, simply the mind processing thoughts and emotions, or could some carry deeper meaning? For centuries, dreams have fascinated humanity, raising questions about the unseen and whether there is more to them than imagination alone. Islam teaches that while some dreams arise from our own thoughts, others may carry truth, guidance, or spiritual significance, reminding us that human experience is not limited to what we can see or touch. Are dreams just the workings of the mind, or could they be messages from beyond? Guests: Professor Yusuf Sayed – Professor of Global Education Policy and Equity at the University of Cambridge Julia Dicum – Director of Education at UNRWA Fakhra Richardson – Vice Chair and Director of Humanity First UK Noel McDermott – Mental Health expert, psychotherapist and drama therapist Ambreen Manzoor – Regional New Convert Secretary and Outreach Secretary Mississauga Producers: Maria Ahmad Tooba, Mariam Munib

Date: 19/05/2026 Join our hosts for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Historians: Who Tells Our Story?’ and ‘What is a ‘moderate’ Muslim?’ Historians: Who Tells Our Story? Who decides what is remembered in history and what is forgotten? From royal courts to ordinary lives, history is shaped by those who record it, preserve it, and sometimes challenge it. We’ll ask how history is written, and whether history is a fixed truth or something constantly being rediscovered and re narrated. What is a ‘moderate’ Muslim? Why is it that society deems Muslims to be acceptable only if they are ‘moderate’? What does this even mean? Is someone who fully embraces Islam and practices it ‘not moderate’ when Islam itself teaches us moderation in all we do? Guests: Dr Anna Chrysostomides - A historian of late Antiquity and early Islam, teaching at Queen Mary University of London and Oxford, focusing on the intersections of history, religion, and identity.
