The Just Ruler by Abdulhussain Muhammed Tejani

There are moments in leadership when justice is tested not by how we treat strangers, but by how we treat those closest to us. It is easy to speak of fairness when no personal interest is involved. It is much harder when the person being judged is a friend, a relative, a loyal employee, a senior executive, a high performer, or someone who once stood by us. The true measure of a just ruler is not found in speeches, policies, or slogans; it is found in decisions made when favouritism would be convenient, and justice would be costly.

Handling Success with Humility and Gratitude by Abdulhussain Muhammed Tejani

Success is one of life’s sweetest tests. We ask Allah for openings, ease, barakah, and recognition – and when they arrive, the heart can either soften into gratitude or harden into pride. From a Shi?a perspective, success is never merely a personal achievement; it is a trust (am?nah) and a sign (?yah). It calls us to humility before Allah and to responsibility toward His creation.
