The 15th of September has been designated by the UN as the International Day of Democracy; and this year’s theme has been set as the ‘role of Artificial Intelligence in shaping good governance. But how do AI technologies affect democracy? After all, it’s still humans who vote in democratic elections, make political decisions, and rule in the courtrooms. But there are several areas where technology’s impact is already present. For example -automated decision-making where Artificial Intelligence tools help judges with scarce resources to draft court decisions, or assist authorities in developing new policies. AI has a vast potential to transform our societies for the better, but only with the premise that data used to train AI is reliable, objective, and bias-free. Widely used for circulating news and information, AI can sometimes be intentionally used to spread misinformation, undermining and harming democracy. With many such AI applications being owned and designed by private companies, their transparency and accountability are ever more urgent. In this episode the presenters take a critical look at 'deepfakes' and how this new technology poses a great danger to society. Living in the digital age, the advancement of AI has led to the possibility of spreading misinformation to the point that it alters our very sense of reality. Are there any Islamic values and responses that could help prevent the misuse of this type of technology? How can a belief system, and more importantly, trust in God, help individuals know what to believe and trust.

Join Raza Ahmed, Danayal Zia, Hanif Khan & Abdul Qayyum Rashid for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Rise and Fall of isms’ and ‘Why did the Promised Messiah (as) appear in India?’ RISE AND FALL OF ISMS Over the past 100 years or so the world has seen a plethora of isms - colonialism, capitalism, zionism, communism, socialism to name a few. Many of these have already seen their demise while some still ‘appear’ to be thriving. Have capitalism, zionism and fundamentalism peaked? Are we about to witness their fall? Join us for a fascinating discussion as we delve into the history of all of these isms, what they offer to their respective followers in the 21st century and which way they are headed. WHY DID THE PROMISED MESSIAH (AS) APPEAR IN INDIA? Why did the Promised Messiah appear in India. What's the significance? “The Holy Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has said that the Messiah will be raised in the East.” (Ibn Majah). The Holy Prophet of Islam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The Mahdi will descend near a white minaret in the east of Damascus.” (Muslim). The second coming of Jesus is predicted in the Bible from the East: “For as the lightening cometh out of the east and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matt. 24:27).

Why does mankind’s quest for happiness remain elusive? Are we searching for it in the wrong place? After the emptiness of a life spent in indulgent pleasure seeking, realisation dawns upon us that true happiness lies in giving joy to others.

The coexistence of human freedom to make choices and a divine plan that guides the course of events suggests a higher power orchestrating a purposeful design. This balance between individual autonomy and overarching destiny points to a thoughtful Creator who has endowed humanity with the capacity for choice while maintaining a grand, coherent plan. Testing Times Trials can serve as proof of God by revealing a higher power's presence through the strength and growth they inspire. The support and resilience found in adversity suggest divine guidance and a purposeful design behind life's challenges.

These acts of mercy, which bring peace and transformation, serve as a powerful indication of God's existence and active presence in our lives.

Join us as analyse how faith guides individuals through life's challenges and contributes to overall well-being and societal cohesion. Prayer Prayer is crucial as it fosters a deep connection with the divine, offering comfort, guidance, and a sense of purpose. The transformative power of prayer, seen in personal experiences of peace, healing, and answered petitions, serves as evidence for many of God's existence, reflecting a higher power's active presence in our lives.

Recent events being misreported and misunderstood through misinformation, has led to a real disruption to societal peace and the inner peace felt by many. The horrendous actions of one individual have left families destroyed and communities absent of love and understanding. The name of Islam at the behest of rioters, racists, thugs who in some cases were just like your average neighbours, has once again been tarnished, or atleast the attempt has been noted. In this episode of Pathway to Peace, the presenters reflect on what happened and how Islam is key to giving us some of the best examples worthy of note on how to attain societal peace.

Title: Speech and Sensitivity: Islamic Reflections on Freedom and Respect Synopsis: In the recent weeks in which we all witnessed on our screens, the race riots in England marked a significant and unsettling chapter in the country’s ongoing struggle with racial tensions and social cohesion. The unrest was sparked by a series of high-profile incidents and these incidents ignited widespread protests that quickly escalated into violent clashes across several cities. The riots reflected deep-rooted frustrations within society. Social media played a crucial role in both mobilizing protestors and spreading inflammatory content that fueled the unrest, leading to a rapid escalation of tensions. The government’s response included imposing swift penalties, which have included custodial sentencing. But as the dust settles, the 2024 race riots have intensified debates on how Britain addresses race relations, social justice, and community cohesion. In this episode of Pathway to Peace, we seek to understand the delicate balance between these two fundamental ideas. Freedom of speech is celebrated as a cornerstone of society, a right that allows for diverse voices and ideas to be heard. However, Islam emphasises the importance of using our words wisely, ensuring they do not harm, mock, or belittle others. How do we navigate this balance in a world that increasingly tests the boundaries of expression?

Title: Heartfelt Connections: Islamic Teachings on Friendship Synopsis: The International Day of Friendship is marked on 30th July each year and was first proclaimed back in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities. The resolution places emphasis on involving young people, as future leaders, in community activities that include different cultures and promote international understanding and respect for diversity. To mark the International Day of Friendship the UN encourages governments, international organizations and civil society groups to hold events, activities and initiatives that contribute to the efforts of the international community towards promoting a dialogue among civilizations, solidarity, mutual understanding and reconciliation. In this week’s episode of Pathway to Peace, the Presenters delve into the profound role of friendship in Islam. Guided by the teachings of the Holy Qur'an, Ahadith and sayings and writings of the Promised Messiah and his succesors, they explore how genuine companionship enriches our spiritual journey and enhances our connection to Allah. The Presenters discuss the qualities of a true friend, emphasizing loyalty, honesty, and support, and how these virtues reflect the principles of faith.

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of President Vladimir Putin’s security council, who recently told a conference in Moscow that: “The world is sick and quite probably is on the verge of a new world war.” The idea of security, harmony and peace is repeatedly overlooked but there is one place where this can be found in abundance: The Holy Quran!

Sister On Air Episode - 27 | Victim Culture by Voice of Islam

Topics covered are the fine tuning of the universe and thing have been designed with precision of events that occurred. This is a general discussion about belief in God and what evidence there is. The question of struggle and striving for the truth is discussed. The need for and importance of striving is expounded upon and how this is found in the journey of gaining secular knowledge. Parallels are drawn between ones own moral and spiritual journeys. The necessity of the gradual understanding of reality of the scientific world is essential and the time is needed for development. This episode also explores belief in the unseen and how answers the question why we can believe in God with physically being able to see our creator. Verse of the Holy Quran is discussed which speaks about belief in the unseen.

Is there a conflict between religion and science? In order to address the topic, there will be reference to the Holy Quran. The short answer that the episode presents, a resounding no, that there is no conflict between these two. The panel explores that both religion and science relate to a journey towards truth. There is quote of the second successor in the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community who explains that there cannot be a conflict between the word and works of God. The episode explores how this conflict emerged in the past. Another similarity between the message of the Holy Quran, is observe and reflect, which is also in effect the mantra of science. In the addressing this question the definition of the spiritual world and physical world are discussed in detail. This discussion becomes philosophical in places. Another question that the episode addresses is can the study of science and natural phenomena get one closer to Allah (the Creator).

Starting from historical perspective the episode covers certain scientific achievements in the Golden age. Emphasis is placed on three scholars: Ibn Haytham (Alhazen), Al Biruni, Ibn Sina (Avicenna). Al Haytham is considered the father of modern optics and the father of the scientific method. Sometimes referred to as one of the greatest scientists of all time. Al Biruni, was a polymath (like all three examples) and authored 146 works relating to astronomy, mathematics, and geography, did survey on India. Al Biruni, visited India, studied Hinduism and worked out mathematical proofs for the circumference of the earth. Avicenna wrote a magnificent medical textbook (Canon of Medicine) that was renowned across the world for many centuries until 17 th century. He was also a great philosopher and wrote about the thought experiments such as the floating man experiment. He was a child prodigy and mastered medicine by the age of 18. The Muslim leaders at the time made significant investments in knowledge, research and scholarship through their investment in libraries, great translation movements and the thinkers themselves. Other scientists covered in the episode include Al Khwarizmi, who was a great mathematician, who developed the modern numbering system through adding the zero. He was a polymath, and worked on geography as well. Others great thinkers covered in this episode included Al Kindi and Ibn Rushd. What were these scholars motivated by? This episode explores this question to and tries to understand what the explanation for the Islamic golden age was. Earlier motivations were such as trying to solve navigation and for finding the direction for the Qibla. The Holy Quran was the great motivator. Arabic became the international language of discussion and science, and both faith and reasoning were core principles.

Can religion inspire scientific discovery, part 1. Verses from the Holy Quran on science and reflection are discussed and presented. For example, points such as the emphasis that the Holy Quran places on reflection and pondering. The episode then explores the relationship between scientific knowledge and spiritual knowledge, which is discussed in detail. Points on how one should approach spiritual knowledge, what is spiritual knowledge and physical knowledge and what are the boundaries of both. What commonalities and differences are described in the Holy Quran in relation to both. The insights from the Holy Quran, sayings of the Holy Prophet and the successors of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association are discussed. Points such as heaven and hell, and the laws of science and laws of spirituality are contrasted. The link between the two. Hereafter exists in the same space, multi dimensions. There is discussion about our limits of our understanding and continual evolving state of our understanding of the physical world, illustrated by a short discussion the changing model of gravity from Newtons to the present day.

Title: Harmony in Humanity: an exploration into random acts of kindness 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.
