The Lightning of God’s Love

August 25, 2024

This “lightning of God’s love” that Hafez refers to is the same attraction we speak of. The lightning strikes at dawn, often in the early morning, when God’s attraction usually occurs. Although God’s grace is always flowing, we are not always ready to receive it. Some times are more conducive for reception, and dawn is one such time—many have received their treasures of happiness at dawn.

Recovering a Lost Biography: Abu Bakr al-Suli’s Portrayal of al-Rida – Part 2

August 23, 2024

In Kitab al-Awraq, al-?uli took up the ambitious task of chronicling the biographies of all former Abbasid Caliphs and prominent poets up to his own day. He called the work al-Awraq ‘pages’ because he devoted many ‘pages’ to the biography of each subject.

Standing up for the Truth in Today’s Era.

August 18, 2024

It’s hard to stand up for the truth in a world filled with glittery deceptions that tempt us to dwell in the comfort of nonchalance while people suffer immensely as a result of our cowardice. From watching a fellow classmate being bullied to witnessing a live streamed genocide unfold in front of our eyes, our silence in the face of injustice is deafening and can sometimes lead to severe consequences.

Why We Exist

August 18, 2024

The question of why we exist is one of life’s greatest mysteries, inspiring countless individuals to seek meaning and purpose. Though the answer may vary for each person, a common thread runs through our collective human experience: the desire to connect, contribute, and find fulfilment.

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
