Join Raheel Ahmad for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing ‘Screen Addiction’ and ´Gambling’.

Screen Addiction
In the digital age, gaming has grown into a global phenomenon, captivating millions with its allure. However, the overindulgence in gaming has led to a crisis of dependency, affecting mental health, relationships, and spiritual well-being. Learn how Islam encourages mindful engagement with technology and offers practical strategies to overcome this growing crisis. Join us to uncover solutions rooted in faith and guidance, helping individuals and families reclaim control over their time and focus on more fulfilling pursuits.


Gambling
Gambling often creates an illusion of control, tricking players into believing they can influence outcomes governed by chance. Meanwhile, casino owners manipulate this perception, essentially gambling the gamblers to maximise their profits.
