If language is not following the truth of things by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

The ancient Chinese philosopher Kongzi, or Confucius, emphasised the importance of language in the governance of society. He believed that “if names be incorrect, language is not following the truth of things. If language is not the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success.” This idea underscores the significance of precision and accuracy in language, particularly in public discourse and governance.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was a multidimensional leader whose entire life exemplified emotional intelligence (EQ).

Environmental Stewardship and Nature in Islam

September 15, 2024

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
