Mental Health During Ramadan: Heart, Mind, Body and Soul

March 14, 2025

One can easily get caught up in comparing oneself to others and feel low about their lack of personal effort or potentially get into the “imposter syndrome” mindset where they feel they are not good rough to be fasting if they have prayed regularly throughout the year, or not wear the hijab, or not as “religious” as Mohammad or Fatima there. The key point here is that we are ALL on a personal non-judgemental journey where our spirituality will naturally waver anytime of the year as well as during this holy month.

Understanding Mental and Physical Health by Syeda Sehar Asad.

When we come across such a topic, we end up mixing both, not realizing that mental health is not the same as physical but both can effectual – mental can affect physical and vise versa.

Satpanthi Khojas – The Great Adapters of History!

Satpanthi Khojas – The Great Adapters of History!
by Dr Hasnain Gulamali Walji

Historians have depicted these people in various ways, like a wedding buffet, especially from the historian’s plate. The journey of the Khojas is a unique rollercoaster, filled with the spices of religious, cultural, and animistic colors. Since the sixth century, these people have linked their customs with their Sufi love and compassion, which is reflected in Ginanic literature. But then the British arrived with their rule book, and this syncretic religion faced challenges.

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
