Mental Health and Resilience: Drawing Strength from the Husayni Spirit in Personal Struggles

July 5, 2026

Mental health and resilience are closely connected aspects of our overall well-being. Mental health refers to our emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing how we think, feel, and act. Resilience, on the other hand, is the ability to adapt, recover, and grow when faced with adversity, stress, or life’s inevitable challenges. Together, they form the foundation that enables individuals to navigate difficulties while maintaining hope and purpose.

Lest We Forget What It Is To Be A Husayni. Humility and Modesty: Rejecting Show-Offs and Materialism

June 28, 2026

The tragedy at Karbala serves as both a yearly remembered history and a permanent guide showing us life paths. Being a Husseini requires following the morals shown by Imam Hussein (AS) alongside his followers. Within those good traits, lowliness and quietness have unique spots.

Ashura: “Likes of me don’t pledge to the likes of you.”

A beautiful poem that captures the loyalty and bravery shown by Imam Hussein, his family and companions.

Iqbal, Karbala, and the Philosophy of Grief

Iqbal, Karbala, and the Philosophy of Grief by Dr Hasnain Gulamali Walji

As Muharram comes near once again, the heart begins to hear an old summons.
Not simply the sound of mourning. Not merely the rhythm of majlis, marsiya, noha, and tears. These are sacred forms. They carry memory. They gather the community. They teach the next generation how to remember.

This publication originally started as print magazine in Nairobi under the auspices of the Haydari Madrasah. Later on, with greater demand for online material and demand to suppress costs as well as reach a wider audience, TC on Friday, became an online "Friday supplement". In the early 2000s, the forum received the support of The World Federation, giving their blessings to the publication as well as helping in its broadcast.

Again, with passage of time, changes are imminent as we now move to a more interactive state - a blog. To this end, I seek the support of all members who can contribute their valuable time and written material to the forum, which is being read all across the world.

Thank you
