In his latest sohbet, Paul Salahuddin Armstrong argues that events and revelations unfold the way they do for a reason, and that truth often arrives gradually and imperfectly rather than as a dramatic, unmistakable moment.

Islamic scholars like Al-Ghazali, Ibn Sina, and Ibn Arabi highlight how sound—Qur'an recitation, dhikr, and natural sounds—shapes our inner harmony. Beyond words, these practices realign heart, mind, and spirit, fostering healing and balance from within. #InnerPeace #IslamicWisdom

We investigated the associations between social marginalization, psychosocial health, and religiosity among sexual minority men (SMM) in Nigeria (N=406). We conducted bivariate and multivariable logistic regression. Factors associated with reporting ...

Sufism is experiential. Capacities, even those for learning beyond a certain point, are provoked by Sufis, by one's own efforts and what results from them, and by an element of what is referred to by Sufis as the Divine.

In today’s reflection, Paul Salahuddin Armstrong continues the story of Dhul al-Qarnayn by turning to verses 92–99 of Surah al-Kahf. Dhul al-Qarnayn responds, not as a ruler seeking tribute or control, but as a servant of justice who empowers people to take part in their own safeguarding.

It's sad to see many big progressive accounts I follow on social media being so quiet on Iran.
People who care about injustice all over the world are conspicuously silent on the massacre of tens of thousands of Iranian people by an oppressive regime.
