In this discussion, Sayed Ahmed Al-Qazwini reflects back on the Pre-Islamic period of Ignorance/Jahiliya, showcasing some of the good qualities in that society that Islam maintained and encouraged like generosity and preserving one's dignity. On the contrary, the light is also shed on some bad practices that occurred due to the distorted moral compass of society, like giving ugly/repulsive names to children and burying young daughters alive.

The Road to Paradise (13): Will we See Our Actions on Judgement Day? - Sayed Ahmed Al-Qazwini

The phenomena of divorce and family disintegrations has turned into a common trend in today's society, increasing in a very alarming rate. In an effort to address this rising issue, Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini offers practical tips to sustain the institution of marriage, and reduce the risk of separation between partners. Through this insightful discussion, we learn about the importance of continuous marriage counselling, the necessity of effective, two-way communication and demonstrating behavioural and physical intimacy. Furthermore, we understand that a peaceful house atmosphere can only be achieved through mutual respect and honor between the partners, treating one another as supportive friends without any narcissism or selfishness, and away from any violence at all costs. Dr. Sayed Moustafa also refers to the significance of collective work between the spouses, whilst staying away from extravagance, stinginess and laziness. ____________________________________________ Verse of Discussion: "And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquillity in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought." - Surah al-Rum, Verse 21 Al-Rasoul Islamic Society || Night 8 - The Holy Month of Muharram 2018

Its extremely difficult to comprehend that the grandson of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was brutally massacred in the desert of Karbala by a group claiming to be Muslims, only 50 years after the death of the Holy Prophet (pbuh). In this informative discussion, Dr. Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini provides some historic context to explain the reasons behind Imam Hussain's revolution against the tyranny of Yazid, which ultimately led to the tragedy of Karbala. Within the discussion, we learn that Imam Hussain (a.s.) was a manifestation of every noble trait in this confrontation, standing courageously against a regime of falsehood, aggression and corruption. We also reflect on how performing prayers might not be a deterrent against evil if its performed as a routine-based exercise without reflection, just like the troop of Yazid practiced it. Dr. Sayed Moustafa also sheds some light on the integral role played by Sayeda Zainab (a.s.) as the primary media outlet that introduced the message of Karbala to the world, were it is now commemorated globally and eternally by the entirety of humanity. ____________________________________________ Verse of Discussion: "Among the believers are men who were true to their covenant with Allah; some of them have fulfilled their vow (by martyrdom), and some are still awaiting and they have not changed in the least" - Surah al-Ahzab, Verse 23 Al-Rasoul Islamic Society || Night 10 - The Holy Month of Muharram 2018
