| Quranic Knowledge |

Islam Channel airs many shows to educational programmes that discuss the
Holy Qur'aan. Each and every night the Qur'aan is recited in Arabic with
the English translation displayed. There are also programmes that discuss
the Qur'aan, one of which is The Journey through the Qur'aan. This
programme discusses the meanings of each ayah thoroughly. Muslims and Non
Muslims alike have obtained more knowledge from viewing these programmes.
Allah (swt) says:
This is the Book (the quran), whereof there is no doubt, a guidance to
those who are Al-Muttaqoon (the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah
much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has
forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He
has ordained)).
(Surah Al-Baqara, Chapter 2, Ayah 2)

| Hajj Specials |
|
Islam Channel brings special Hajj programmes live from Saudi Arabia each
year during this auspicious time. Muslims and Non Muslims have learned
about the procedure of Hajj and what every Muslims must do once in their
life time. On the day of Arafat, Islam Channel airs live coverage
throughout the day. The 9th of Dhul-Hijjah is the day of Arafat, when
pilgrims stand on the mountain asking for sincere forgiveness for their
sins, as an indication of how man will be gathered on the day of
reckoning. Fasting on this day, by Muslims who are not performing the
pilgrimage, brings with it great virtues, Muslim narrated that Fasting on
the day of Arafat expiates the [minor] sins of two years: a past one and a
coming one. And fasting on the day of Aashura expiates the sins of the
past year.
Abu Qataadah (RA) reported in a part narration from the Holy Prophet (SAW)
concerning the fast observed on this day,
“I have full confidence in Allah for the one who observes a fast on the
day of Arafat that his previous year's sins and the proceeding year's sins
are forgiven.” [Muslim]

| Bringing the Community together |
|
During the last two years Islam Channel has brought the community together
on a number of occasions. The most acclaimed event of the year the
‘Global Peace and Unity Event' attracted over 50,000 people nationally and
internationally during its 2006 conferenece. The Global Peace & Unity
Event organised by Islam channel has proved to be the world’s largest
Islamic event attracting both Muslims and Non Muslims interested to
experience the diversity of Islam and at the same time gain knowledge from
International speakers, acclaimed academics and scholars.
The Islam Channel also convened a conference on Islamophobia, which was
held in Copenhagen. Participation in the question and answer sessions was
enhanced by a television audience of millions across Europe and North and
West Africa. While the majority were Muslims, many others were Christians
or of other beliefs. Islam Channel brought unity to the community by
discussing the deep concern about the growing phenomenon of Islamophobia -
the demonization of human beings for no other reason than their Muslim
faith. Islam Channel hopes to commit to opening bridges of understanding
between peoples of different or of no religious persuasion. Insha Allah
each and every year Islam Channel hopes to bring the community together.

| Ramadan Specials |
|
Each and every Ramadan, Islam Channel brings special Ramadan Programmes to
enlighten and educate Muslims and Non Muslims alike regarding one of our
holiest months. Each day during this month, Islam Channel brings Suhoor
programmes to start the day of fasting. Then as the sun is about to set,
Islam Channel airs Iftar Programmes. Each and every night Taraweeh
Prayers are played from Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The month of Ramadan is a
season of divine blessings, a month of purification and it is meant for
annual renovation of inner-spiritual qualities. It is a golden opportunity
for every Muslim to strengthen their imam, purify the heart and soul and
remove the effects of sins. During this blessed month fasting is
obligatory on all able-bodied Muslims and it is a time to maximize the
acts of worship, minimize all mundane activities and refrain from all
forms of sin. It is also recommended that one performs Umrah once on any
one day of the month as this is a sunnah of the Holy Prophet (SAW).
Allah said in the Qur'an in Surah Al-Baqarah
"Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to
mankind, also clear (signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and
wrong)." ( Al-Baqarah 2:185)
