Dispelling Myths about the Month of Safar

Dispelling Myths about the Month of Safar by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

In the collection Al-Amali by Sheikh al-Tusi, a powerful statement is recorded: “I don’t like to see any youth among you [the Shi‘ites], but of two types: either a scholar or a student.” This timeless declaration is more than just advice – it is a call to every young person to recognise their role, their responsibility, and their potential. It emphasises that a young age is not a time for stagnation or idle comfort but rather a period rich with opportunity for intellectual and spiritual development.

Rituals are a universal phenomena across time and cultures. Every culture and religion has them. Just as genetic information is passed down from one generation to the next, religious practices among the various cultures of the world are transmitted across generations via rituals.

What Is The Purpose Of Mankind’s Creation? by Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi

t is rare to ?nd someone who has not asked himself or others the question: “What is the purpose of our creation?” A group of people continuously come into this world while another group leave it, becoming extinguished forever – what is the idea behind this coming and going?
If we humans had not been living on this planet, what difference would it have made? Is it necessary for us to know why we have come and why we shall go? If we discover the reason, do we have the ability to acquire this objective? Subsequent to this question, numerous other questions loom, plaguing man’s mind and thoughts

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
