Handling Success with Humility and Gratitude

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.

Faith-Based Leadership: Influencing Corporate Culture

Faith-Based Leadership: Influencing Corporate Culture by Abdulhussain Muhammed Tejani

Faith-based leadership is often misunderstood as “bringing religion into the workplace.” In an Islamic frame, it is closer to something far more practical: bringing responsibility, justice, mercy, and excellence into how you lead – so that culture becomes an ethical ecosystem, not a slogan. When leaders internalise faith as character (akhlaq) rather than performance, corporate culture changes in measurable ways: trust rises, fear reduces, collaboration improves, and people feel a sense of dignity at work.

The Holy Prophet and Environmental Stewardship

October 5, 2025

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) was the embodiment of this stewardship. He lived lightly on the Earth, valued every resource, and taught mercy to all creatures. Imam ?Ali (AS) and the other Imams continued this tradition, reminding humanity that justice (?adl) is not only social but ecological. In a time when environmental destruction threatens our collective future, their guidance becomes both timeless and urgent.

Have You Ever Wondered How Powerful Perception Is?

Have You Ever Wondered How Powerful Perception Is? by Abdulhussain Muhammed Tejani

Cancer is defined as an evil or destructive practice or phenomenon that is hard to contain or eradicate. Today the cancer that society is battling, unbeknown to us, is competition. Competing against each other! Does this presuppose that we shouldn’t compete? Absolutely not!

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
