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.

From Individual Learning to Communal Change – Part 1

From Individual Learning to Communal Change by Abdulhussain Muhammed Tejani

Creating Lifelong Learning Communities in Our Times

We live in one of the most information-rich periods in human history.

A person today can listen to a lecture while driving, attend a course taught thousands of kilometres away, read an entire library on a small device, learn a new skill from a video, and find an answer to almost any question within seconds. Knowledge has become abundant, portable and constantly available.

And yet there is a paradox.

Navigating Trade with Integrity – The Journey of Lifelong Learning in Ethics

Navigating Trade with Integrity – The Journey of Lifelong Learning in Ethics by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

In the vibrant industry of India, the Gujarati community holds a prominent place, particularly known for its entrepreneurial spirit and cultural richness. However, this identity is often accompanied by the complex struggle of balancing the tenets of their faith, particularly Islam, with their astute business acumen. The concept of lifelong learning emerges as a vital pathway to foster ethical conduct in trade, helping Gujaratis navigate the often conflicting ideologies they encounter in their personal and professional lives.

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
