The English translation was then very eloquently read by Tommy Kahlon. Haider Hameed began by sharing the translation of an Arabic poem named ‘The Qasidah’ which was written by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, peace be upon him, who claimed to be the Promised Messiah and Mahdi of the latter days. The first poet Fareed Ahmad shared his poem titled ‘The Darkness of War’, which was written in the first few weeks of the conflict between Israel and Gaza, as we were all shaken by the brutal and deadly conflict which unfolded with horrific injustices of innocent victims on both sides, especially the Palestinians whose death toll grew by the hour. The second poem is from the poet Nasar Bhunoo with his poem titled ‘I can’t wait’ which was inspired by a conversation he had with his daughter and the struggles he had experienced in talking about war and genocide, and the salvation he found in the power of praying to God. The third poem is from Dr Muddassar Rashid with his poem titled ‘Colosseum of Pain’, which he was inspired to write as he pondered about world affairs and a nagging question which gnawed at his consciousness of him being like a spectator in this Colosseum of pain and suffering.

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.
