10 Things to do on Arafah Day

June 1, 2025

Al-Sahifa Al-Sajjadiya is a compilation of supplications attributed to Imam Ali, son of Hussain, which aims to nurture man’s relationship with His creator and creation.

Walk the Path of Healing and Illumination

April 13, 2025

In this day and age, everything happens so quickly that we don’t have the time to sit and process. Those who do take a pause are considered weak and fragile. Why is everything so fast paced? Taking time off to heal from a death or even sickness is looked down upon. Did you know that your mind needs this solitude and peace every once in a while.

The role of community in a spiritual journey is profound and multifaceted. Many spiritual traditions emphasize that the journey is not purely individual but is enriched and supported by the presence of others.

Mental Health During Ramadan: Heart, Mind, Body and Soul

March 14, 2025

One can easily get caught up in comparing oneself to others and feel low about their lack of personal effort or potentially get into the “imposter syndrome” mindset where they feel they are not good rough to be fasting if they have prayed regularly throughout the year, or not wear the hijab, or not as “religious” as Mohammad or Fatima there. The key point here is that we are ALL on a personal non-judgemental journey where our spirituality will naturally waver anytime of the year as well as during this holy month.

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
