Living Modestly

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.

The Holy Prophet and Environment

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.

Jumuah Khutbah

Jumuah Khutbah: A Covenant for the Vulnerable

October 3, 2025

In this Jumuah lecture from the AFOSA mosque in Cape Town, Syed talks about a covenant that was created to protect vulnerable people, how it came about and its different uses. He also talks about how this covenant can be seen in practice today, with the current atrocities in Palestine and the support shown by people of different faiths.

Perception

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!

Welcome to The Community on Friday.

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
