Episode 15. After a child’s first day of school, often one of the first things parents ask is, “Did you make any friends?” From that day onwards until the rest of their lives, friendships play a central role in dictating how a person navigates their life, often in a positive way in terms of improving their quality of life, but also sometimes detrimental when roped into the traps of peer pressure and people pleasing. Historically, in the western society women have been rooted against each other and widely portrayed as competitive, jealous and incapable of getting along, many children’s fairy tales being prime examples. But as we explore in this episode of Sisters on Air, this narrative is far from the truth for Muslim women who have a unique perspective when it comes to friendships.

Episode 207. Women in Sports. Research shows that there is a clear link between sports uniforms and a potential reluctance of girls to participate in sports (Howard, 2023). With instances of school uniforms being designed to accentuate girls’ bodies, there is evidence to suggest that this causes young girls to be self-conscious, leading to unhealthy relationships with both sport activities and their own bodies. Whilst we may know that there are a lot of obvious barriers to women in sports, such as accessibility and social influence, in this episode, we will be discussing the subtle ways in which sports opportunities may be taken away from women, as well as how modesty is perfectly possible even in sports activities.

Repeat of an Interactive show recorded on 10th November 2024. Synopsis: In an article published on the BBC website on 6th Nov entitled, ‘Australia plans social media ban for under-16s’, the Australian government says it will introduce "world-leading" legislation to ban children under 16 from social media. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the proposed laws, to be tabled in parliament next week, were aimed at mitigating the "harm" social media was inflicting on Australian children. In this episode of Pathway to Peace, the presenters examine the effect of social media on childhood depression and whether social media could even be regulated. What guidance can we draw upon from Islamic ethics to help navigate the online world.

Episode 16. The treasures and trinkets that this world offers are vast. Just go to any shop or museum and I’d be surprised if you told me you weren’t tempted to have an item, or several items, that you came across. However, does attaining the material desire provide us with the satisfaction that will give us fulfilment? Or is it only an illusion? In this episode, we’ll be speaking about the impact of materialism on our life and whether it is for our benefit or for our detriment. We want to explore whether it is an aid or a detriment in seeking higher fulfilment in life.

Repeat of an Interactive show recorded on 25th February 2024. Synopsis: In this week’s episode of Pathway to Peace, we examine a topic that resonates deeply with the essence of Islam - Random Acts of Kindness. In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to overlook the transformative power of a smile, a helping hand, or a kind word. However, Islam positively promotes the notion that these seemingly small acts can have a monumental impact on the lives of others, reflecting the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) who exemplified mercy and kindness in all his interactions. Throughout this episode, we will explore the Islamic perspective on random acts of kindness, drawing inspiration from the Quran and Ahadith. We will share heart-warming stories that highlight the beauty of kindness, discuss practical ways to incorporate it into our lives, and reflect on how these acts can serve as a powerful tool for spreading love and unity within society. Presenters: Sabiha Iqbal, Melissa Ahmedi and Aliya Sami
