Episode 30.The Theme for this show is ‘Her Majesty the Queen’. On the 8th of September 2022, Queen Elizabeth 2nd died in the United Kingdom, at the age of 96. She had reigned for 70 years and had thus become the longest reigning British monarch in history.  Upon her passing, she was succeeded by her eldest child, now known as King Charles III. The country and the world paid countless tributes to this noble Queen in almost every way, and we shall now hear a few poetical tributes which I hope will give you a small essence of the great monarch that she was.  The first poem is from the Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, who had written this to mark the Queens death. It has two verses, or stanzas and nine lines, and the first letter of each line when taken together spells out Elizabeth. It is read very eloquently by brother Munir Rafiq and is titled ‘Floral Tribute’. The second poem is from Sir Ian Duncan Smith, Member of Parliament in England, who read a tribute to her late Majesty the Queen in the House of Commons on the 9th of September 2022 where he also quotes some poetical verses. The third poem was written by the poet Joanne Boyle following the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II which seems to encapsulate the feelings of the nation and is being read by the talented sister Faiza Mirza.  We then hear the National anthem which was sung on the 12th of September 2022, after King Charles III gave a historic address to MP’s in parliament for the first time where he paid tribute to the Queen The next poem has some ancient background and is actually about Queen Elizabeth the first, so it’s almost 500 years old, and is believed to have been written by William Shakespeare. Apparently he wrote this poem at the back of an envelope and this was probably composed as an epilogue for a performance of a play in the presence of the queen. The poem is titled: “To the Queen" and is being read by brother Salim Ullah. Our final piece for this show, is a special prayer for an equally special Queen. A prayer which epitomises the love that one person has for the whole of mankind and one that is extended to even the Queen. In 1897, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who claimed to be The Promised Messiah (peace be upon him), wrote the book Tohfa-e-Qaisariyyah, which translates ‘ A Gift for the Queen’, which he wrote on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. We shall hear the English version of a portion of this beautiful prayer within this book which was recited in six languages.

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.

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.

Ep 126 History: Remember, Read, RepeatOften people question the role of studying history, claiming it is no longer relevant and does not help us to move towards a brighter future. However, it has been noted on numerous occasions that those who do not look towards the past are condemned to repeat the same mistakes. Many have commented that the times we are living in today are worryingly reminiscent of some of the darker periods of recent memory. This show aims to explore the role history plays in forming societies, how we write history, and how we have kept histories alive. We will delve into the ways in which we remember the past and how this can be used to create a better present and future. Indeed, Islam is a religion that endorses all education, including historical. This show will look at the link between Islam and the importance of historical study, producing an interesting conversation about education and cultural sensitivity and understanding.
