Is Imam Ali a source of division or the grounds for friendship among Muslims?How did a man who asked that his killer's ropes be loosened in his dying moments become the most contested figure in Islamic history?In this episode of Thinking Islam, we explore Dr Hassan Abbas's acclaimed book, "The Prophet's Heir" through the lens of a policy maker and conflict resolution scholar. Drawing from both Shi'a and Sunni sources, Dr Abbas tells the story of Imam Ali not as a sectarian narrative but as a bridge between traditions. We examine the political dynamics of Saqifa, Ali's radical economic justice, the bias in Western scholarship of Islam, and the paradox of a warrior whose defining qualities were dialogue, selflessness, and forgiveness. In his final moments, struck by a poisoned sword, Ali asked that his killer be treated well, a measure of the justice and forgiveness that Dr Abbas argues makes Ali's legacy not a source of division but a possibility for renewal and unity.Dr Hassan Abbas is Distinguished Professor of International Relations at the National Defence University in Washington, D.C. and a senior adviser at Harvard University's Weatherhead Centre for International Affairs. His research focuses on countering political and religious extremism, rule-of-law reforms, and the intersections of security, politics, and faith in South Asia and the Middle East. "The Prophet's Heir: The Life of Ali ibn Abi Talib," published by Yale University Press, has been widely praised across traditions.Audio Chapters: 0:00 – Highlights 01:32 – Writing a Book on Imam Ali 8:04 – Using Both Shi'a and Sunni Sources 17:23 – The Bias in Western Scholarship 25:35 – An Uncritical Version of Imam Ali? 32:00 – Saqifa Through the Lens of a Policy Maker 43:47 – Did the Companions Fail the Test? 51:28 – Imam Ali as a Diplomat 56:45 – Imam Ali & Economic Justice 1:07:15 – Imam Ali, Dialogue & Egalitarianism 1:16:02 – Imam Ali's Legacy 1:21:05 – Thinking Islam Question

Hadith 01-07: The Importance of Good Character in Islam: Lessons from the Prophetic Hadith on Noble Manners and Righteous Conduct | Qur'an and Sunnah Guidance on Akhlaq | ZAD Academy Audio | Blogpost by Zayd HajiAssalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,I am Zayd Haji, a student at ZAD Academy. In this lesson from ZAD Academy, we explore an important prophetic tradition that highlights the significance of good character (Akhlaq) in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was sent not only to deliver the message of Islam but also to perfect noble manners among humanity.Islam teaches that moral excellence is a fundamental part of faith. A Muslim's character reflects their understanding of the Qur'an and their commitment to the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ.Allah praised the character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the Qur'an:“And indeed, you are of a great moral character.” (Qur'an 68:4 – Quran.com)Sa'd b. Hisham planned lifelong jihad against the Romans and sold his property.People of Medina discouraged him, citing the Prophet ﷺ forbidding extreme devotion and saying “Follow my example.”He returned to his wife after reconciling with her.He asked Abdullah ibn Abbas about the Prophet's Witr prayer.Ibn Abbas directed him to Aisha bint Abi Bakr as the most knowledgeable.Aisha said the character of the Prophet ﷺ was the Qur'an.Night prayer (Tahajjud) was initially obligatory, then later made voluntary.The Prophet ﷺ usually prayed 9 rak‘ahs Witr, later 7 rak‘ahs in old age.After Witr he sometimes prayed 2 rak‘ahs sitting.If he missed night prayer due to sleep or illness, he prayed 12 rak‘ahs during the day.The Prophet ﷺ did not pray the whole night continuously, did not finish the Qur'an in one night, and fasted a full month only in Ramadan.Sahih Muslim 746ahttps://sunnah.com/muslim:746aIslam places great importance on good character because it carries immense reward. Abu Ad-Dardh narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "Nothing is placed on the Scale that is heavier than good character. Indeed the person with good character will have attained the rank of the person of fasting and prayer."Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2003https://sunnah.com/tirmidhi:2003Another hadith highlights the excellence of noble conduct:Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: The Prophet (ﷺ) never used bad language neither a "Fahish nor a Mutafahish. He used to say "The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character." (See Hadith No. 56 (B) Vol. 8)Sahih al-Bukhari 3559https://sunnah.com/bukhari:3559Narrated AbuUmamah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: I guarantee a house in the surroundings of Paradise for a man who avoids quarrelling even if he were in the right, a house in the middle of Paradise for a man who avoids lying even if he were joking, and a house in the upper part of Paradise for a man who made his character good.Sunan Abi Dawud 4800https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4800Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I was sent to perfect good character."Muwatta Malikhttps://sunnah.com/malik/47/8The Qur'an provides a comprehensive principle for righteous behavior:“Indeed, Allah commands justice, good conduct, and giving to relatives and forbids immorality, bad conduct, and oppression.” (Qur'an 16:90 – Quran.com)Scholars consider this verse one of the most comprehensive teachings regarding Islamic ethics.Good character is one of the most important aspects of Islam. The Qur'an and the Sunnah consistently emphasize honesty, patience, humility, and kindness toward others.By following the example of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and striving to improve our behavior, Muslims can strengthen their faith and earn closeness to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Hereafter. Through learning and practicing noble manners, believers fulfill one of the greatest objectives of the Islamic message.

Tonight is the night of Badr.On this night, 1,443 years ago, 313 Muslim men camped on the plains of Badr — underprepared, outnumbered more than three to one — on the eve of a battle that would determine whether Islam survived or was extinguished.There is no tafseer of Surah Al-A'raf tonight. Tonight belongs to Badr.How They Got ThereThe Muslims left Madinah on the 12th of Ramadan. The mission was straightforward: intercept Abu Sufyan's caravan returning from Syria — the largest trading caravan the Quraysh had ever assembled, loaded with profits from goods financed largely by wealth confiscated from the Muslims at the time of Hijrah. Not a battle. An interception.But Abu Sufyan's scouts were sharp. One of the Bedouin trackers found camel droppings along the route, opened them, and recognised the date pits inside as coming from the farms of Madinah. The Muslims were tracking them. Abu Sufyan immediately rerouted and sent the fastest rider in his group back to Makkah — the rider sliced the nose of his camel and smeared the blood on himself to arrive with maximum drama, ensuring the message landed with urgency.Abu Jahl raised 1,300 men. Not to protect the caravan — the caravan had already escaped. This was about something else now. We are going to crush Islam and the Muslims once and for all.By the time 300 of that army turned back — satisfied that their property was safe — 1,000 Quraysh warriors were marching toward Badr with that single purpose.The Muslims, meanwhile, had 313 men. Two horses. Seventy camels. And eight swords.They had not come prepared for battle. They had expected a small caravan escort — ten, twenty, thirty men at most. They found an army.And they did not turn back.The Leadership of the Prophet ﷺWhen the Prophet ﷺ chose a campsite on the plains of Badr, a companion — al-Hubab ibn al-Mundhir — approached him and asked a remarkable question: Ya Rasulullah, is this position based on revelation from Allah, or is this your personal judgement?The Prophet ﷺ said: personal judgement.Al-Hubab said: in that case, may I suggest we move further forward — to the wells of Badr — so that we control the Quraysh's access to water?The Prophet ﷺ accepted. He moved the entire army.This is a man who could have said: I am the Prophet of Allah, my opinion is final. He said nothing of the sort. He distinguished clearly between what came from Allah and what came from his own thinking. And when a companion had a better idea, he took it.A leader who cannot be corrected is a leader who will eventually fail. The Prophet ﷺ modelled the opposite: you are not any stronger than me, and I am not any less in need of the reward from Allah. When they shared rides on the 160-kilometre journey — three men, including the Prophet ﷺ, rotating on one camel — his companions begged him to ride the whole way. He refused. He walked his share.The Night BeforeThat night, with a thousand armed men across the plain, Allah gave the Muslims a gift: sleep.Anyone who has had a major exam, a difficult interview, a high-stakes day ahead knows what that night feels like. You lie awake. The mind races. The Muslims knew what was coming — and they slept.Allah also sent light rain on the Muslim side. The ground compacted. The march in the morning would be firm underfoot. On the Quraysh side, Allah sent heavy rain. Sleepless. Muddy ground. No access to water. Before a single sword was raised, the advantage had already shifted.The Prophet ﷺ spent much of that night in dua — arms raised so intensely that his shawl fell to the ground. Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, waking before Fajr, wrapped it back around his shoulders and stood listening. Among the duas the Prophet ﷺ made that night: Ya Allah, if You destroy this group, You will never be worshipped on this earth again. These were the best of the Muslim men. Most of them. If they fell here, there would be no rebuilding.The dhikr of Badr — the one the Prophet ﷺ repeated through that night and into the battle — was Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum. The Ever-Living. The Ever-Sustaining. The One who holds everything in existence. Repeat this in your own difficult nights.Islam Is a Salad BowlWhen the Prophet ﷺ organised his army on the morning of battle, he divided them into three groups: the Muhajirin on the right, led by Sayyidina Ali; the Ansar on the left, led by Sayyidina Sa'd ibn Mu'adh; and a mixed group at the centre, where the Prophet ﷺ stood himself, with the banner held by Mus'ab ibn Umayr — the first companion to migrate to Madinah, the man through whose teaching most of the Ansar had embraced Islam.Why keep them separate? Why not one unified mass?Because Islam does not erase identity. It never has. The Muhajirin were Meccan. The Ansar were Medinan. Different dialects, different traditions, different cultures — and at this point in history, genuinely different peoples. Islam acknowledged that difference and worked with it. Each group fought with the strength that came from who they were.Islam is not a melting pot. It is a salad bowl. A tomato remains a tomato. A cucumber remains a cucumber. Mixed together, each contributing what it is — they serve something greater than any one of them alone.Keep your cultural identity. Be proud of who Allah made you. Learn your mother tongue. And be equally proud to be Muslim — guided by Islamic principles, united by La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah, with Arabic as the thread that connects the entire ummah across every language and culture.Help Comes in Ways You Cannot SeeWhen the battle began, most of the Muslims did not know they were being assisted by angels. They raised their weapons and fought with everything they had. Some were injured. Some were martyred. They had to show up. They had to put in the effort. The help came — but it came to those who were already in the field.Jibreel came wearing a yellow turban, marked like Mus'ab ibn Umayr. A thousand angels — one for every Quraysh soldier — came wearing white, on white horses. The Quraysh saw them coming from across the plain. They did not know what they were seeing.And then Iblis — who had marched alongside the Quraysh in the guise of Suraqah ibn Malik, who had promised them safety, who had said I am with you, no one can defeat you today — Iblis was the first to see the angels. He turned and fled.I see what you do not see. I am afraid of Allah.The Quraysh: You were the one who convinced us to come! You were the one who promised us victory!Iblis said nothing more. He left.This is who Iblis is. He is there when things are going well. The moment the cost becomes real, he disappears. The friends you make in sin will not be there when the consequences arrive.Abdullah ibn Mas'ud — a man so small he stood barely above a metre — captured Sayyidina Abbas, the Prophet's uncle, a giant of a man with a voice that could carry across a battlefield. Abbas was humiliated. He told everyone who saw him: it wasn't this small man — there was someone bigger, someone else who took me down. When Abdullah ibn Mas'ud brought Abbas to the Prophet ﷺ, the Prophet ﷺ confirmed: it was not you, Abdullah. You were assisted by an angel.Do not be arrogant with your success. You put in the effort. But the victory was never yours alone to claim.The Secret of Badr — And of RamadanThe Quran tells us the secret of Badr in Surah Ali Imran in two words: sabr and taqwa.Sabr is steadfastness — continuing on the right path regardless of how difficult it becomes. Taqwa is your living connection with Allah.Ramadan trains both. Every day of fasting hones sabr — the steadfastness to stay on the right path regardless of hunger and exhaustion. Every night of prayer and Quran builds taqwa — the connection with Allah that carries you through what the day alone cannot prepare you for.The Prophet ﷺ won his greatest military victory in Ramadan — on the 17th, on the plains of Badr. His greatest political victory, the Conquest of Makkah, was also in Ramadan. Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas defeated the Persian Sassanid Empire at the Battle of Qadisiyyah in Ramadan. Amr ibn al-As conquered Egypt in Ramadan.The pattern is not coincidence. It is a formula.Fast your days. Pray your nights. And trust that when you show up on the field with whatever weapons you have, Allah will send what you cannot seeBadr Wallpaper for smartphonesBadr Wallpaper for tablets.Badr wallpaper for computersAfter Witr tonight insha'Allah — Salawat Badriyya.Following along with the series?

Hi friends! This week we are joined by the charming Ahmad Saber to talk about his new book Ramin Abbas Has MAJOR Questions coming out this week! We're talk about the complications with being queer and Muslim, Catholic and a fan of the Tony wining broadway show WICKED! And much more! Theme by Man with Roses Book description below: Ramin Abbas has spent his whole life obeying his parents, his Imam, and, of course, Allah—no questions asked. But when he starts crushing on the ridiculously handsome captain of the soccer team, so many things he'd always been so sure about are becoming questions: 1. Music is haram. But what if the Wicked soundtrack is the only thing keeping you sane because you're being forced to play on the soccer team? With Captain Handsome?! 2. A boy crush is double haram, and Ramin's parents will never accept it. But can he really be the only Muslim on Earth who feels this way? 3. Allah is merciful and makes no mistakes. Then isn't Ramin just the way Allah intended him to be? And so why should living your truth but losing everything—or living a lie and losing yourself—have to be a choice?!

“(Kalbi) ölü iken dirilttiğimiz ve kendisine, insanlar arasında yürüyeceği bir nur verdiğimiz kimsenindurumu, hiç, karanlıklar içinde kalmış, bir türlü ondan çıkamamış kimsenin durumu gibi olur mu?İşte kâfirlere, işlemekte oldukları çirkinlikler böyle süslü gösterilmiştir.” (En'am 122)“Ehl-i Me'ânî (Dil bilginleri) şöyle demişlerdir: "Kâfirler, şu ayetlerde, "ölü" olarak tavsîf edilmişlerdir:"(Onlar) diri değil, ölülerdir. Ne zaman dirileceklerini de bilmezler" (Nahl, 21); "Şüphesiz sen (EyMuhammed), ölülere duyuramazsın" (Neml, 80); "Kör ile gören bir olmaz" (Fâtır, 19) ve “Dirilerle ölülerbir olmaz" (Fâtır, 22). Binaenaleyh küfür bir nevi ölüm, kâfirler de "ölüler" kabul edilince, hidayet bir nevî hayat, hidayete erenlerde "diri kimseler" kabul edilmiştir. Küfür (inkâr), bir nevi ölüm kabul edilmiştir. Çünkü o bir cehalet(bilgisizlik)tir ve cehalet şaşkınlık ile durmayı gerektirir. Bundan dolayı küfür, hareketsiz kalmayı gerektirenbir ölüm gibi olmuş olur. Ölen kimse de tıpkı bunun gibi, herhangi bir şeye ulaşıp onu elde edemez. Cahil de,bir çeşit ölü gibidir. Hidayet ise, bir ilim ve basirettir. İlim ve basiret, kurtuluşa erme ve rüşd sebebidir.Kâfirin durumu ayette, "İçinden çıkamaz bir şekilde karanlıklarda kalan kişi gibi mi?" ifadesi ile anlatılmıştır.Âyetteki, “içinden çıkamaz" ifadesinde şu şekilde aklî bir incelik vardır: Bir şey devamlı olarak başka birşeyle birlikte bulunursa, o onun kendisi ve ondan ayrılmayan bir sıfatı gibi olur. Binaenaleyh kâfir devamlıcehalet ve kötü ahlâk karanlıkları içinde olursa, o karanlıklar, sanki kendisinden uzaklaştırılamayan zatı veayrılmaz sıfatları gibi olur. Bu hale düşmekten Allah'a sığınırız. Hem sonra karanlıklar içerisinde kalan kimse,faydasına olan herhangi bir şeye ulaşamaksızın, şaşakalır. Böylece de o kimseye korku, feryâd, acziyyet veorada kala kalma hakim olmuş olur.İbn Abbas şöyle demektedir: "Henüz Hazret-i Hamza'nın iman etmemiş olduğu bir sırada, Ebu Cehil Hazret-iPeygamber'e bir deve tersi, (kığısı) atar.. Derken Hazret-i Hamza, yayı elinde olarak avdan döndüğü birsırada bunu duyar. Bunun üzerine Ebu Cehil'e yönetir ve yayıyla onu sıkıştırarak başına vurmaya başlar.Derken Ebu Cehil ona, "O'nun getirdiği şeyi görmüyor musun? Akıllarımızı hiçe çıkardı; ilahlarımıza sövdü,tenkid etti!" dedi. Bu söze karşılık Hamza, "Siz insanların en beyinsizisiniz; Allah'ı bırakıp taşlaratapıyorsunuz. Ben şehadet ederim ki, eşi benzeri olmayan, bir olan Allah'tan başka bir ilah yoktur! Yineşehadet edirim ki, Hazret-i Muhammed O'nun kulu ve elçisidir" dedi. İşte bu hadise üzerine, bu âyet-ikerime nazil oldu."Mukâtil şöyle demektedir: "Bu âyet, Hazret-i Peygamber ile Ebu Cehil hakkında nazil olmuştur. Bu böyledir,zira Ebu Cehil, "Şerefte Abd-i Menâf oğullan bizi sıkıştırdı; öyle ki biz, aynı gaye uğruna yarışan iki kimse gibiolduk.. Abd-i Menafoğulları, "Bizden, kendisine vahyolunan bir nebî çıktı!" diyorlar. Allah'a yemin olsunki, ona gelen vahiy bize de gelmediği sürece, biz ona inanmayız" der. İşte bunun üzerine bu âyet nazil olur.Cenâb-ı Allah, gerek daha önceki, gerek bundan sonraki ayette bu müzeyyinin sadece kendisi olduğunu açıkolarak belirtmiştir. Daha önce geçmiş olan âyet, "Allah'tan başkasına ibadet edenlere sövmeyin. Sonraonlar da haddi aşarak bilmeksizin Allah'a söverler. Biz her ümmetin yaptıklarını (kendilerine) öylece hoşgösterdik" (En'âm, 108) ayetidir. Sonra gelecek olan ayet de, "Her şehir ve kasabada, oralarıngünahkârlarını, o yerlerde hilekârlık etsinler diye, büyük adamlar yaptık" (En'âm, 123) buyruğudur."İnsanların yaptığı sınavlarda üç yanlış bir doğruya götürür üç günah bir iyiliği siler. Allahın yaptığı sınavda isebir doğru on yanlışı götürür 11 soru soruldu on tanesini yanlış cevap verdin ama bir tanesine doğru cevapverdin Allahın yaptığı sınavda o doğru cevabın on tane yanlışı götürür. Kur'an ayeti şöyle der:

Welcome back to The Built Environment Marketing Show hosted by me Ayo Abbas.Most built environment firms know networking matters but are they actually in the right rooms? In this solo episode, I share a real decision I had to make between two events on the same day, and why choosing the less familiar option led to two potential project conversations by the time I got home.This episode looks at why strategic networking has to match your positioning and what happens when it doesn't.If you're an architect, engineer, or consultant spending time going to events that aren't converting, this one's for you.Key takeawaysYour networking strategy should directly reflect your positioningBeing 'out there' isn't enough. Visibility only counts when you're visible to the right peopleMost firms are spending the majority of their networking time with competitorsStrategic networking comes down to three things happening at once: the right decision makers, at the right time, in the right contextThe firms winning better work at better fees go to fewer events — but they make each one count. Focus beats volume every time.About the showThe Built Environment Marketing Show is hosted by marketing consultant and content creator Ayo Abbas from Abbas Marketing.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US President Donald Trump met privately with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Wednesday, and later said he had insisted to the Israeli leader that American negotiations with Iran continue. We unravel Trump's Truth Social statement and learn what Netanyahu released following the meeting. The inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace is set for next week in DC. Who is confirmed to attend -- and who is still on the fence? Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas received a draft constitution last week that aims to transition the PA to a full-fledged state. Magid weighs in on whether or not it may be ratified and delves into Israel's security cabinet announcement on Sunday that details new areas under Israeli control in the West Bank. Finally, we turn to a curious AIPAC campaign that thwarted a candidate who perceives himself as "pro-Israel." Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Lederen av terror-organisasjonen PLO, President for "staten" "Palestina" leder for Fatah og PA, Mahmoud Abbas er på besøk i Norge. Han mottas med røde løpere, smil og klemmer, royal lunsj på slottet, og besøk på Stortinget og hos Støre og Barth Eide. Dersom statsminister i Israel, Netanyahu, hadde landet i Norge ville han blitt arrester, men når Presidenten for det såkalte landet palestina lander i Norge, så får han audiens med Kongen, håndtrykk og smil. Hvorfor denne forskjellen?Journalist, analytiker, og sivilingeniør, Kjell Erik Eilertsen er med for å kommentere saken. Eilertsen ble selv nektet adgang til pressekonferansen med Abbas i Oslo, begrunnet fra SMK at han ikke hadde pressekort. Det er verdt å huske at Mahmoud Abbas hyllet massakrene den 7. oktober: "Den 7. oktober var en strategisk seier for den palestinske saken" sa han til PA sin offisielle daglige avis, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida. Og det var Palestinian Media Watch som oversatte og eksponerte dette. Abbas har gjennom PA betalt martyrlønn til de terroristene som var involvert i 7. oktober. I 2025 ble det utbetalt rundt $200 millioner til militante og deres familier, ifølge US State Department. For 2026 anslås det å være $315 millioner, skjult som lønninger, pensjoner eller sosiale ytelser for å omgå internasjonalt press. Mahmoud Abbas sin egen PHD-avhandling fra 1982 i Moskva handlet blant annet om å si at sionistene samarbeidet med nazister, og at det var en løgn at seks millioner jøder ble drept.Da er det merkelig at det blir såpass god stemning på Slottet.***► NY BOK UTE NÅ: Frykt og Stillhet - jødiske stemmer i Norge etter 7. oktober.

Den norske kirke har sagt unnskyld til skeive, og nå kommer kravlista. I denne episoden går vi inn i de fem punktene fra Skeivt kristent nettverk: ny undervisning i barne og ungdomsarbeid, obligatorisk opplæring i hele kirken, pride symboler inn i kirkerommet, inkluderende språk om Gud og full omforming av gudstjenestelivet. Det er ikke plass til bibelsk tro i DNK når klassisk forkynnelse stemples som uevangelisk.I andre halvdel tar vi dobbelstandardene i norsk offentlighet på kornet. Rød løper for Abbas, ramaskrik mot Israel. Stillhet om Irans brutale nedslakting, voldsomt trykk når Israel er involvert. BBC omtaler holocaust uten å nevne jødene, og Hamas får spre konspirasjoner. Vi peker på ideologiske skylapper, manglende ærlighet og et medielandskap som langt fra er nøytralt.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. In the wake of reports that suggested that planned nuclear talks set for the end of the week were unravelling, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei "should be very worried." Magid describes the media storm and what may be in store on Friday in Oman -- if the talks do indeed take place. Last week, Magid was able to get his hands on a draft resolution laying out the powers of various bodies tasked with managing postwar Gaza under US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace initiative. We hear how it appears to limit the significance of a panel, including Turkey and Qatar, that had sparked worries in Israel. We also learn about the current activities of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, or NCAG, which is still sitting in Cairo. Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas said Monday that elections will be held on November 1 for the Palestinian National Council, the parliament of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Magid explains why this may not be the big deal it appears to be. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Who writes Islamic history — empires and rulers, or ordinary believers?In this research seminar hosted by AMI on 14 January 2026, Dr Hassan Abbas presents insights from his forthcoming book project, A People's History of Islam. Challenging state-centred and court-sponsored historiography, Dr Abbas explores Islam through the lived faith of pilgrims, mystics, poets, and everyday communities across centuries.Drawing on extensive travels to major pilgrimage sites — from Fez, Konya, and Baku to Lahore, Karbala, and Makkah — the seminar highlights how oral tradition, spirituality, and devotion preserve histories often absent from official archives. Dr Abbas also reflects on the role of mysticism alongside juridical tradition, the challenge of writing accessible yet rigorous scholarship, and the problem of sectarian framing in Western representations of Islam.Speaker:Dr Hassan Abbas is a Distinguished Professor of International Relations based in Washington, DC, and a Senior Advisor at Harvard University's Project on Shi'ism and Global Affairs. He is the author of The Prophet's Heir (Yale University Press) and several other widely cited works on Islam and global affairs.

Le mouvement de protestation qui se déroule en Iran témoigne de la forte dégradation de la situation économique causée par les sanctions américaines, mais aussi par la corruption et la mauvaise gestion du pays. Alors que l'inflation y dépasse les 50%, la hausse des prix des produits de consommation courante atteint même 80%, touchant de plein fouet les Iraniens dans leur quotidien. De notre correspondant à Téhéran, Les marchés municipaux sont chaque jour bondés à Téhéran. Il en existe dans tous les quartiers de la capitale de l'Iran. Créés par la mairie, ils proposent des produits alimentaires et des fruits et légumes moins chers que dans les magasins privés. Mehdi et Farideh, un couple de cinquantenaires, ont l'habitude de venir faire leurs courses ici même s'ils ne font pas partie des catégories les moins aisées. « Voilà plusieurs années que nous faisons nos courses dans ce marché. Nous y venions même lorsque les prix n'étaient pas aussi élevés. Ici, les prix sont moins chers qu'ailleurs car les produits sont de moins bonne qualité. On doit regarder notre porte-monnaie quand nous faisons nos courses. Si on voulait acheter ces mêmes fruits et légumes ailleurs, nous devrions payer 50% plus cher. Lorsqu'il est venu nous rendre visite récemment, mon fils qui vit à l'étranger n'arrivait pas à croire que les prix avaient autant augmenté. Par exemple, le prix du poulet est sans commune mesure avec son niveau d'il y a deux ou trois ans », expliquent-ils. De nombreux Iraniens des classes les plus pauvres n'ont pas les moyens d'acheter de la viande ou du poulet et beaucoup doivent faire des choix lorsqu'ils font leurs courses. « Les gens achètent ce dont ils ont vraiment besoin » C'est également le cas de Mehdi et Farideh : « Pour certains produits, on en achète moins. Pour d'autres, on les a supprimés. On achète d'abord ce dont nous avons réellement besoin. Pour pouvoir continuer de vivre et manger comme avant, nous avons dû vendre des biens, un terrain par exemple ». Abbas, le gérant de l'épicerie d'à côté, se plaint aussi de la situation économique et de la baisse du pouvoir d'achat de ses clients qui ont fait baisser ses ventes : « Nos ventes ont baissé de 30% à 50%, en particulier les produits laitiers comme le fromage qui a fortement baissé. Les gens achètent ce dont ils ont vraiment besoin. Même constat pour le riz devenu très cher lui aussi : les gens n'en achètent plus. Ou si, auparavant, un client en prenait un sac de plusieurs kilos, désormais il en achète une quantité bien moindre : 500 grammes ou un kilo. » Le riz fait partie des principaux aliments des Iraniens mais son prix a augmenté de près de 300% depuis un an. Nombreux sont ceux qui ont donc été contraints d'en réduire leur consommation. À lire aussiEn Iran, la monnaie au plus bas entraîne une hausse spectaculaire de l'inflation

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. After Israel and Lebanon held direct talks on Wednesday in the presence of US envoy Morgan Ortagus, Magid remarks on the rare contact between the two countries. The US aims to prevent the expansion of Israeli operations in Lebanon during the ongoing ceasefire, while Israel wants to ensure that Hezbollah is not able to rearm. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly weighed in on Jewish settler violence against Palestinian villagers, and Magid notes the premier's insistence on redirecting the so-called hilltop youth's criminal tendencies via educational efforts rather than using security measures or imprisonment. Netanyahu also discussed legalizing certain West Bank outposts in light of their role in preventing Palestinian land grabs in Area C. Last month, the Trump administration shelved the idea of sanctions on Palestinian Authority leaders, after PA Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas fired his finance minister when it was discovered that illicit "pay to slay" payments were still being made to Palestinian security prisoners. Magid talks about the White House decision, and its sense of satisfaction with the development. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. President Isaac Herzog announced Wednesday that US President Donald Trump had written him to ask him to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently standing trial on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Magid brings other instances in which the US president has pushed for the end of Netanyahu's trial and describes the contents of this new “Free Bibi” letter. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday said “there’s some concern” about events in the West Bank undermining efforts to maintain the ceasefire in Gaza, in his first remarks on the latest spate of settler violence. This comes after a week in which dozens of Israelis launched a large-scale arson attack on Palestinians in the West Bank, targeting factories and farmland between the major cities of Nablus and Tulkarem. Magid reports on Rubio's statements, gives the context for them, and explains how they mark a departure for the Trump administration. Early this week, Magid exclusively reported that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas fired his finance minister for allowing payments to Palestinian security prisoners through an old mechanism -- often called “pay-to-slay.” These stipends are awarded to the prisoners or their families, giving them monthly salaries based on the length of their sentence, which correlates to the severity of the crimes. We hear why these payments raise such red flags for Israelis and Americans. Syria’s leader Ahmed al-Sharaa visited the White House on Monday and made a media splash as the former terrorist was shot shooting hoops and enjoying Trump's branded cologne. In an interview with The Washington Post, al-Sharaa claimed the US president supports his insistence on a complete Israeli withdrawal from Syrian territory as a condition for a comprehensive security deal between the long-warring neighboring countries. Magid weighs in. US President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the Central Asian, Muslim-majority country of Kazakhstan will be the first country to join the Abraham Accords in his second term. Since the nation established diplomatic relations with the Jewish state in 1992, shortly after it broke away from the Soviet Union, what does either country gain by this step?

Synopsis: Nimbus Therapeutics CEO Abbas Kazimi walks Alok Tayi through the company's evolving pipeline and playbook for choosing the right risks in a noisy biotech environment. From Werner helicase for MSI-high cancers to a highly selective SIK2 program and GLP-1–adjacent strategies focused on body composition, Abbas details how Nimbus balances rigor, speed, and capital efficiency. He shares candid lessons from pausing and later resurrecting AMPK beta in partnership with Eli Lilly, the decision to remain modality-agnostic but small-molecule-centric, and the importance of knowing when not to chase the latest fad. Throughout, Abbas returns to a consistent theme: success at Nimbus comes from disciplined target selection, deep collaboration, and a culture that empowers teams to make hard calls in service of patients rather than headlines. Biography: Abbas Kazimi is the Chief Executive Officer of Nimbus Therapeutics. Previously, he served as Chief Business Officer, leading the company's strategic and corporate development efforts while overseeing business operations. Since joining Nimbus in 2014, he has helped raise over $630 million in equity financing and led transactions totaling more than $8 billion. Notably, Mr. Kazimi spearheaded the $6 billion sale of Nimbus's TYK2 program to Takeda, the $1.2 billion sale of its NASH (ACC) program to Gilead, and multiple licensing deals exceeding $1.5 billion with partners such as Genentech, Celgene/Roche, and Eli Lilly. Under his leadership, Nimbus has advanced four programs into the clinic, returned over $4 billion to investors, and continues to expand its computational drug discovery and clinical development capabilities. In 2025, Mr. Kazimi joined the board of Unnatural Products (UNP), a biotech company pioneering orally delivered macrocyclic peptides to tackle previously undruggable targets. He also serves on the Editorial Advisory Board for In Vivo magazine, a leading publication offering strategic insights and analysis of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medtech, and consumer health industries. Along with his family, he established the Kazimi Family Endowment for Data Science in Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. This endowment reflects their personal commitment to philanthropy and their vision for revolutionizing cancer treatment through data-driven innovation. At the core of Mr. Kazimi's leadership is a deep sense of purpose—one that seeks to change the trajectory of medical diagnoses where options are limited. The ability to give patients, prescribers, and families a new outlook on life is a powerful responsibility—and one he knows the biopharmaceutical sector has the ability to fulfill. Before Nimbus, he was at Extera Partners, LLC (formerly PureTech Development, LLC), where he provided strategic advisory, supported fundraising, and executed numerous business development transactions. Earlier in his career, he was with JSB-Partners, LP, a specialized investment banking and advisory firm serving biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Mr. Kazimi holds a B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin and an M.S. from Harvard University.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Rushan Abbas, an advocate for the Uyghur community and founder of the Campaign for Uyghurs, about the history and ongoing genocide of her people. Abbas explains the Uyghurs' distinct identity as a Turkic, Muslim people from East Turkestan (now called Xinjiang by China), tracing the evolution of their persecution from the Cultural Revolution to the present day. She details the current atrocities, linking them to Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative, and describes the horrific conditions in concentration camps, including torture, forced sterilization of women, family separation, and the use of forced labor to create a profitable genocide. Sharing her personal story of how her own activism led to her sister's imprisonment, Abbas highlights the Chinese government's transnational repression and concludes with a powerful call to action, urging listeners to educate themselves, use their consumer power to boycott goods made with forced labor, and pressure their governments to hold China accountable.
