What Was Gained, What Was Lost

What Was Gained, What Was Lost by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

Between the hopes of youth and the nostalgia of old age lies the winding corridor of human experience. It is a place not marked by clear milestones, but by subtle shifts – moments barely noticed at the time, yet monumental in hindsight. Between strength and weakness, between fullness and hollowness, the story of a life unfolds, asking a question both haunting and humbling: what was gained, and what was lost?

Beyond Ritual, Toward Revival

Beyond Ritual, Toward Revival by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

Hajj, the sacred pilgrimage to the House of Allah (SWT), is not merely a journey of miles but a journey of the soul. It is a call to every Muslim heart, echoing across centuries, summoning us to the Kaaba’s stones and the very essence of faith. Yet, in our times, how often has this profound act been reduced to a checklist, a ritual performed, a duty discharged, its spirit lost in the clamour of routine? Allama Iqbal, the poet-philosopher of the East, wept for this very loss. His verses, drenched in longing and pain, urge us to rediscover the true meaning of Hajj – a meaning that transcends rituals and awakens hearts.

Every Cloud Has Its Dark Lining – The Pessimism Predicament by Mohamedarif Mohamed Suleman

hroughout the ages, across countless generations, faith and belief systems have served as guiding lights, uniting communities and offering solace during tumultuous times. However, in recent years, an unsettling trend has emerged, where the essence of these belief systems – the messages of hope, compassion, and unity – has been overshadowed by an exaggerated reverence for their messengers. This shift has fostered polarization, eroding the very foundations that once fostered harmony among adherents.

The Dichotomy of Self-Deception 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
