Al Noor 92.6FM Radio Station

You may wonder, why Al Noor Charity has launched a Radio station when there is so much work to be done in areas of basic necessities i.e waterwells, orphans, madrasas, etc. At Al Noor we think its critical to pass on knowledge and build a community spirit based on principles of Islam.

Radio plays a big part in achieving all our goals. Information and communication are located at the very core of poverty alleviation processes, from processes of community participation and empowerment, to raising broad awareness of health & education issues, to providing knowledge about Islam.

The radio station is powerful to broadcast and cover Zanzibar & Pemba Islands, Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanga, and with a plan to hopefully reach the whole coast of Tanzania. The Guiding Principles of Al Noor’s Islamic Radio Station is to promote the love of Allah and the appreciation of the beauty of his creation through the guidance of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and reaping the fruits of following him.

What is the plan for Al Noor FM?

The Islamic radio station —AL Noor 92.6 FM Radio Station in Zanzibar has been operational from June 2009. Islam FM radio station is located at Al Noor head office, a two storey building where the ground floor is a Masjid for a 1,000 people and the upper floor houses Al Noor charitable agency for the needy head office and the Al Noor 92.6 FM.

Al Noor FM broadcasts a range of programmes that offer contents such as:

• Inspirational and motivating with Islamic values and knowledge.
• Education — We believe the best approach is to educate! and that knowledge shall make us free.
• Informative on health matters which all communities desperately need. What is badly needed is health education from an Islamic point of view and programs where medical doctors and Fuqahaa can come together and introduce topics and questions-and-answers programs.
• Promote sustainable livelihoods by connecting the community through the radio, encouraging bartering and networking.
• Celebrate major Islamic festivals such as Ramadhan, Eid, Hajj, Ashura, etc, and introduce the listeners to some of the great Muslim scholars and their contributions so that they can appreciate the contributions of Muslims to world civilisation.
