Reflections on Self-Transformation

Reflections on Self-Transformation by Mohamedarif Suleman

Self-transformation is a profound journey that involves introspection, commitment, and the consistent effort to embody virtues that elevate both the individual and the community. Among the many moral frameworks available, the Husayni virtues – drawing inspiration from the exemplary life of Imam Husayn ibn Ali (AS) – offer a compelling blueprint for personal growth and societal betterment. Embodying these virtues requires a deep understanding of their essence and a dedicated effort to manifest them in daily life.

Justice Before Power: Imam Ali and the Burden of Principled Leadership – Part 2

May 24, 2026

Imam ?Ali also reformed the distribution of Bayt al-Mal. Previous administrations had created unequal stipends. Imam ?Ali abolished these privileges. He implemented equality.
Elites protested. Support weakened. Imam ?Ali remained firm: “Should I seek victory through injustice to those over whom I rule? By Allah, I shall not do so.” (Nahjul Balagha, Sermon 126)

The Role of Good Manners in Inviting Others to Islam

The Role of Good Manners in Inviting Others to Islam by Dr Hasnain Gulamali Walji

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
