The Prophet’s Household as Guardians of Prophetic Wisdom – Part 1 by Zamena Manekia-Manji

s Twelvers, we need to understand how each Imam of the Ahlul Bayt preserved, endorsed, and spread the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (saww) based on the eras they lived in. For example, during the time of Imam Ali (as), the Muslims were brainwashed and lured to the point that it took them 25 years to finally recognise Imam Ali (as) as the rightful caliph chosen by the Holy Prophet himself.

Peace with imperfection

October 19, 2025

A Simple Thought: Peace with imperfection by Asgar Jafferali Dhanji

The need for perfection and the desire for inner tranquillity conflict with each other.
Making peace with imperfection is one of the deepest acts of wisdom and self-acceptance.
It’s about recognising that growth, not perfection, is the true goal of life.

The Prophet’s Teaching on Family and Community in The Digital Age

October 12, 2025

The digital age has radically transformed how we live, forging unprecedented connection and ways to communicate. With social media, smartphones and constant notifications, the world feels more accessible than ever. Yes, it’s ironic that many people find themselves struggling with feelings of isolation and detachment. Amidst this ever – changing landscape, the enduring wisdom of Prophet Muhammad (saw) shows us a way forward, towards finding balance. His teachings remind us of the utmost importance of family ,community, and moral integrity in all aspects of life, even the digital world we now live in.

Living Modestly

October 10, 2025

The principle of living modestly and not drowning oneself in pleasure, material acquisitions and the life of this world is an enlightened and constructive principle that uncovers man’s potential and allows his spirit to soar. The extent to which man pays attention to material embellishments and the more his ties to this world increase, the more he is deprived of spiritual pleasures, radiant wisdom and inner light.

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
