Radio Seerah

Radio Seerah is a Muslim community radio station based in Leicester. Founded by Molana Abdur Raheem Diwan, it developed from temporary broadcasts into a full-time service in February 2019. Its purpose combines education, community understanding and opportunities for people to share their experiences, with programmes intended for different ages and backgrounds.

Religious features explore Islamic teachings, practices and history. Interviews and discussion address social and political questions, while nasheeds, poetry and cultural material offer other forms of expression. The station presents community stories alongside broader topics, giving faith and everyday public life space within the same schedule.

The presenter team includes Qari Muhammad, Dr Nuri Saleh, Dr Laila, Sister Farida and Sister Shabana alongside its founder. Diwan's local religious work includes his role at Masjid Fatima Zahrah, linking the station's origins with an established Leicester congregation. Seasonal programmes supplement the continuing talks, interviews and devotional material. Volunteer involvement and listener donations support this output, allowing religious education and contributions from different community voices to share the same platform.

Listeners can contribute through feedback, volunteering and programme ideas. Radio Seerah places an emphasis on independent journalism and lively debate, describing these as ways to inform and connect its community. Its Leicester base gives that ambition a local setting, bringing religious knowledge, cultural interests and residents' perspectives into a continuing community service.
