Radio Islam International has officially launched its RI programming line-up for Ramadan 1437/2016 under the theme “The Season of Change!”
A spiritual season, which commenced with the fragrant breezes of Rajab and Sha’baan, has now found its climax in the splendour of Ramadan.
Programmes Manager Moulana Sulaiman Ravat says the team at Radio Islam has tailored the offerings to promote a state of being that envisages the lifestyle changes sparked in Ramadan flourishing within ourselves well beyond the Holy Month.
“Plug into our community and discover how to diversify your goal portfolio and create a launching pad for new habits that you would be able to carry forward throughout the year.”
Attractions for Ramadan 1437 on Radio Islam include:
A live broadcast of Mufti Ismail Menk’s Tafseer post-Taraweeh from the Bosmont Masjid including a weekly discussion set to air every week.
An essay competition about Random Acts of Kindness to demonstrate how all it takes is just one random act of kindness to change a life, shape a future or warm a heart.
The Rihla outside broadcast team will be visiting Kelvin/Marlboro, Springs, as well as various other Towns and dorpies across KZN for Jummuah Talks, Iftaar Drives, Taraweeh Broadcasts, Kiddie’s programs and a bagful of other exciting features.
The specially commissioned Ramadan 1437 documentary “In The Global Village: The Vast Expanse of an Unknown World Discovered!” will focus on the travels and lives of nine Muslim explorers which include Ibn Battuta, the first ever travel writing by Ibn Jubair, and the courageous Chinese explorer, Zheng He.
Huge cash prizes are also up for grabs in the quiz where participants bend their neurons around conundrums, posed from Quran, Seerah, general knowledge and politics.
As always this year’s version of the trademark drama 221 b Baker Street is crammed with ever more intrigue and adrenalin.
The Spelling Bee speech contest and debate will bring together expert spellers and debating protégés in the war of the words with guaranteed cash prizes.
To lift the mood in Ramadan, Ejaz Khan’s “This Could’ve been us …” will be toying between two possible outcomes to a given situation,which highlights the shortfalls as human beings in a quirky and humorous way.
Radio Islam’s Para a day will be recited live this Ramadan by 10 reciters from across the country.
The Ramadan scheduling line-up also includes suhoor in the company of Ml Sulaiman Ravat and Ml Ibrahim Daya, The Afterن comesو Show hosted by Ejaz Khan and Tufayl Patel focusing on the youth and an Iftaar of Reflection with Ml Junaid Kharsani live from KZN
So as Ramadan dawns the first step to change is to believe that we can change. Ramadan represents the season, precisely configured to realise this: Progressing from being seasonal Muslims to lifelong Muslims; graduating from selective faith to all-embracing submission.
May this Season of Change be the stepping stone to your realisation of a change for all seasons.
Aameen
