Drive Time Show Podcast 15-10-2026: Stoptober Quit Smoking For Good and Zero Poverty

Join our hosts for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing "Stop Smoking" and "Zero Poverty"

Stop Smoking

Around 1.2 billion people worldwide use tobacco, with more than 7 million deaths linked to it each year. But why is smoking so difficult to quit, despite its serious health risks? Join us this Stoptober as we explore the harms of smoking, why people become addicted and the benefits of stopping.

Zero Poverty

In a world blessed with abundance, poverty remains a moral and social failure. True change requires more than charity it demands justice made law. From Kerala’s success in ending extreme poverty to global calls for legal accountability, the Zero Poverty movement seeks to make equality a right, not a privilege. Join us as we explore how faith, fairness, and shared responsibility guided by Islamic principles can build a world where no one is left behind.
