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

Episode 15. An address delivered by the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (may Allah be his Helper), at a reception held in Wellington, New Zealand.

Episode 2. This episode will serve as an introduction to the concept of FoRB. It will focus on the origins of FoRB, The origins of the concept of freedom of expression, freedom of religion in history & how it has evolved over time, the relevance it has played in history and where the key changes occurred historically to the rights of FoRB. In particular, we will focus on the early years of FoRB: The Romans tolerated most religions, including Judaism, and encouraged local subjects to continue worshipping their own gods. They did not however, tolerate Christianity until it was legalised by the Roman emperor Galerius in 311. Holmes and Bickers note that as long as Christianity was treated as a part of Judaism it enjoyed the same freedom, but the Christian claim to religious exclusivity meant its followers found themselves subject to hostility. The early Christian apologist Tertullian was the first-known writer referring to the term libertas religionis. The Edict of Milan guaranteed freedom of religion in the Roman Empire until the Edict of Thessalonica in 380, which outlawed all religions except Christianity. Following a period of fighting lasting around a hundred years before 620 AD which mainly involved Arab and Jewish inhabitants of Medina (then known as Yathrib), religious freedom for Muslims, Jews and pagans was declared by Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon him) in the Constitution of Medina. In early Muslim history (until mid 11th century), most Islamic scholars maintained a level of separation from the state which helped to establish some elements of institutional religious freedom. The Islamic Caliphate later guaranteed religious freedom under the conditions that non-Muslim communities accept dhimmi status and their adult males pay the jizya tax instead of the zakat paid by Muslim citizens.
