Episode Details

Join our hosts for Thursday’s show where we will be discussing: ‘Media Literacy’ and 'Need for the Promised Messiah (as)' Media literacy What if the same message could mean completely different things to different people? Why do we so often misunderstand each other online and how much of that comes from how we interpret what we see? Join us as we explore media literacy and how personal biases, tone, and lack of context shape the way we understand information on the internet, often leading to conflict, misinformation, and unnecessary assumptions. Need for the Promised Messiah (as) Opponents of the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), argue that his claim came before its time when the world did not yet need a reformer. Join us as we explore whether the late 19th century was, in fact, an extraordinary age. A time when nearly every major religion awaited a divinely appointed saviour, when moral and spiritual decline was widespread, and when the signs foretold in the Holy Quran and the prophecies of the Holy Prophet (saw) were becoming manifest. Was this truly the moment history had been waiting for? Guests: Mark Frankel -  Head of Public Affairs, Full Fact Savini Yasanayake -  Psychology Undergraduate Producers: Mahira Ramzeen
