BBC Lancashire Radio ran a special one-hour documentary presented by host Sally Naden and produced and compiled by Chris Thornley. The documentary titled Love For All Hatred for None – ‘Sally gets exclusive access to the classrooms and kitchens of modern Muslim families in Lancashire’, was listed in the Radio Times, and was broadcast on 30 May 2016.
The Member of Preston Ahmadiyya Muslim Women's wing, Lajna Ima'Illah, have worked with BBC Radio Lancashire on 2 previous occasions and developed good ties with the radio hosts. In May 2016 an opportunity arose involving members from the whole of the Preston Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat not just Lajna. The Radio hosts were particularly interested in seeing Islam through the eyes of young people. This was a golden opportunity to portray the true message of Islam to over 200,000 listeners across Lancashire.
The documentary began at Darul Amaan Mosque in Manchester, where 18 year old Yaseen Ahmad explained what the Azaan meant to him and talked about aspects of the mosque.
Next, Sally Naden met 16 year old Yousuf Ahmad, Yaseen’s brother, at his home in Preston where he helped his mum cook food to distribute at a bookstall to be held later that day. Yousuf was asked about the challenges of being a young British Muslim living in a western society.
Yousuf’s mother Sadeya Callaghan and her husband David Callaghan were also interviewed and asked some challenging questions including issues such as divorce and women’s rights in Islam, as well as converting to Islam from a Christian background.
The documentary concluded with a children’s class where children recited the Holy Quran and a poem known as Al-Qasseeda, which was composed by the Ahmadiyya Founder and the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Al-Qaseedah is about the glorious character of the Holy Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (saw). Amtul Karim Malik and Mubarak Malik were then interviewed about the role of a husband and wife in an Islamic marriage.
The documentary ended with each Jamaat member’s hopes for the future image of Islam in the UK.
