Measuring Real Change by Mohamedarif Suleman

How Preachers Can Evaluate the Effectiveness of Their Teachings

When we gather in the majlis, we are entering a sacred space that was always meant to be more than ritual. It is a place of remembrance, yes, but also a place of transformation. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family, taught that gatherings of remembrance must also be gatherings of knowledge. The majlis is meant to awaken our hearts, sharpen our minds, and strengthen our resolve. Yet we must ask ourselves: are our majlises truly fulfilling this prophetic mission, or have they become limited to emotion without change?

The Concept of Al-Amanah (Trustworthiness) and Al-Mas’uliyyah (Responsibility) by Mohammed Khaku (Allentown, USA)

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
