Reviving the Prophetic Pursuit of Knowledge

Reviving the Prophetic Pursuit of Knowledge by Asad Virani

Let me start with a simple thought.

Previous generations had to travel miles in search of knowledge, and today, knowledge travels to us.
A smartphone can put a lecture from a scholar thousands of kilometres away, right in front of us in a flash.
A book that once required a journey to a library can now be downloaded in seconds.
A question that once required finding the right teacher can now be searched instantly.
And with technology, and especially artificial intelligence, the possibilities are even greater.

Memory….My Storage Cell

Memory….My Storage Cell by Tasnim Asgharali Jaffer

On observing an object
It reflects into my brain
Forming a vivid image
Which gradually then sets
Preserved for the future usage

Community At The Crossroads

Community At The Crossroads by Husseinali Walimohamed Datoo

Books have been among my most loyal companions for as long as I can remember. They walked beside me through childhood in Tanzania – in dusty classrooms, quiet evenings at home, and moments of youthful curiosity. Later, during my student years in the United Kingdom, books became gateways to entirely new worlds. I discovered the charm of second-hand bookshops and the unforgettable magic of browsing through Foyles in Holborn, London – once regarded as the largest bookshop in the world – where the scent of paper and ink carried a special kind of joy

The Meaning of Loyalty by Mirza Rizwan Ali Baig

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
