Good character is the true measure of a Muslim
How do people who know us best describe our character? The Prophet ﷺ was the finest example of good character, and our worship should be reflected in how we treat others.
The way we behave at home and the promises we keep — our akhlāq reveals who we really are in these matters, and carries immense weight on the Day of Judgment.

We all experience pain, grief, loss, hardship. The question is how we understand those experiences, and how we respond when suffering becomes part of life.
Imam Abdullah Hasan looks at the growing medicalisation of ordinary human suffering and asks what the Islamic framework offers instead. If we look at the grief of the Prophet ﷺ, sabr, tawakkul, Dunya, and the Ākhirah, there is a way to understand suffering without treating every hardship as a disorder.

DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF?! 🤯
When Shaykh Mustafa Almansur flew 3,000 miles to reconnect with his estranged son, everyone thought he was crazy.
What happened next is an extraordinary lesson in tawakkul.

What if admitting you're powerless is the key to unlocking your greatest strength?

The way we think affects the way we hear
Why do we overlook the good someone does and focus on the one thing they got wrong? And why can two people experience the same relationship so differently?
From harmful generalisations to the different ways people see, hear, and feel the world, the Mind Engineer explores how our minds shape communication, relationships, and even how we understand the words of the Prophet ﷺ.

Is something good because God commands it, or does God command it because it is good?
In this upcoming issue of Think Again, Dr. Hamza Tzortzis will explore how Allah’s perfect wisdom and nature answer this age-old objection, and why Divine commands are neither arbitrary nor subject to a standard above Him.

What does it mean to truly live with Allah at the centre of your life?
Our purpose goes beyond worship alone; it is to recognise Allah’s majesty, live in awe of Him, and continually strive to please Him. Even when we slip, we have the opportunity to turn back in repentance and experience Allah’s forgiveness.

More freedom does not automatically mean more flourishing. When the pursuit of choice moves us further from the fitrah, the result can be dissatisfaction and a loss of sakīna.
Islam offers a different understanding of human well-being: true tranquillity comes from living in alignment with the way our Creator designed us.

🚨 Could the greatest challenge to Christianity come from its own forgotten history?
In this fascinating episode of OnGuard, Dr Hamza Andreas Tzortzis sits down with Paul Williams (Blogging Theology) to uncover a forgotten chapter of Christian history with potentially revolutionary implications.
As the discussion unfolds, the implications are described as nothing short of a “Copernican revolution” in our understanding of Christianity.

Muslims need to be clued up on cybersecurity!
A message arrives from someone you know, asking to borrow money urgently. You assume something has gone wrong and send some over, only to discover the money never reached them.
This is how things like WhatsApp scams exploit trust, and why greater awareness of cyber threats and online safety is needed within Muslim communities, particularly among older generations.

Civilisation can't survive without trust
Even without religion, people still need akhlāq. Why? Because trust sits at the foundation of any functioning civilisation, underpinning contracts, transactions, relationships, and the ability to live alongside one another.
But what happens when trust begins to disappear? From wider society to the Muslim community, this conversation explores why the loss of trust may be a sign that something deeper is beginning to crumble.
