Reason and Heart – A Conversation Across Centuries by Dr Hasnain Gulamali Walji

Every Friday, the khutbah drums into us the horrors of Jahiliyyah. That dark age before Islam. Daughters buried alive. Slaves whipped under the desert sun. Tribes killing each other over camels and water wells. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came, they tell us, and shattered the idols of ignorance. He brought justice. He brought equality.

The Spiritual Journey of Arbaeen – A Path of Reform and Renewal by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

The Arbaeen pilgrimage is a profound expression of faith and devotion in Shi´a Muslim tradition, commemorating the 40th day after Ashura, marking the end of a period of mourning for Imam Hussain (AS), a grandson of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW). One of the most poignant aspects of this pilgrimage is the 80km walk from Najaf to Karbala, undertaken by millions of devotees. This journey is more than a physical trek; it represents a spiritual path of reform, renewal, and devotion.

The Spiritual Journey of Arbaeen – A Path of Reform and Renewal by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

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
