To achieve and safequard this aim, every religious community was guaranteed by the [...]

Habiba Janoowalla
In the last few years, anytime we think of Syedna AbdeAli Saifuddin RA, we remember the recently inaugurated Masjide Moazzam, which was originally built by him. We remember the Masjid vibrating with the recitation of the Qasida Mubaraka of “Ya Aala Taahar Ridhaa…” We remember the 10,000 students reciting Quraan Majid in front of [...]

Shaikh Mustafa Abdulhussein
Faith is a much
more complex concept than it first appears. It may have dictionary definitions, but like an attitude of mind, its origin is elusive. Reason, logic, facts, historical evidence, upbringing, role models, spiritual experience, may all contribute to what a person decides his or her faith is, but what really causes one [...]
