Widows: Left behind?

International Widows Day hopes to bring awareness to the plight of widows around the world who have become invisible to society. Both them and their children are abandoned and with no social status in certain parts of the world. In today’s show we discuss the strain on widows and their progeny socially, economically and emotionally. Further, we discuss the due rights that have been bestowed on widows and their children by Islam

Oral Health: Silent epidemic

According to the NHS £36 million per annul is being spent on the removal of children’s teeth. This is now becoming a familiar statistic worldwide, with bad diet and hygiene to blame for a dental health epidemic. We look at some of the reasons behind this and the solutions various countries are considering to deal with this crisis. Islam teaches us to eat pure and wholesome foods. We discuss the role this plays in ensuring a better future for our children. Cleanliness, a part of the Muslim faith, also ensures our physical well being
