The Role of the Community in Spiritual Journey

April 6, 2025

The role of community in a spiritual journey is profound and multifaceted. Many spiritual traditions emphasize that the journey is not purely individual but is enriched and supported by the presence of others.

Every Cloud Has Its Dark Lining – The Pessimism Predicament by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

hroughout the ages, across countless generations, faith and belief systems have served as guiding lights, uniting communities and offering solace during tumultuous times. However, in recent years, an unsettling trend has emerged, where the essence of these belief systems – the messages of hope, compassion, and unity – has been overshadowed by an exaggerated reverence for their messengers. This shift has fostered polarization, eroding the very foundations that once fostered harmony among adherents.

The Role of Spirituality in Your Health

March 16, 2025

We often think of health purely in biological or physical terms (symptoms, disease, treatment, and prevention). But health is also deeply personal, and is shaped by our beliefs, emotions, and experiences. Spirituality, whether linked to a specific religion or not, plays a significant role in how people perceive and respond to health challenges. While public health, research, and medicine rely on science, dismissing the role of spirituality in health would be to ignore a key part of human behaviour and decision-making.

Every Cloud Has Its Dark Lining – The Pessimism Predicament by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

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
