Join our hosts for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing ‘Ritual Slaughter: Halal and Kosher’ and ‘Archaeology: What can we learn from Ancient Civilisations’
Ritual Slaughter: Halal and Kosher Halal and kosher slaughter have been practised for centuries, yet today they face growing questions over animal welfare and whether stunning is kinder. Join us as we explore the debate and discover what Islam truly teaches about mercy towards animals, even at the moment of slaughter.
Archaeology: What can we learn from Ancient Civilisations
From the pyramids of ancient Egypt to the remains of the Roman Empire, archaeology gives us a glimpse into the lives of people who lived thousands of years ago. But what can these discoveries teach us about the rise and fall of civilisations? Join us as we explore what archaeology reveals about the past and how Islam encourages us to reflect on the fate of those who came before us.
