Glory to God and to the Sixteenth of February

Sheikh Ragheb Harb, the Sheikh of the Martyrs of the Islamic Resistance, was a pioneering and exemplary figure-true in his faith in God and in the rights of His servants, both individual and collective; deeply conscious of his responsibility toward society and the homeland; tireless in striving and struggling to establish justice and liberation, to oppose oppression, to resist occupation, and to confront projects of humiliation and imposed tutelage.

Unmasked: The scandal of the “saviors” of Muslim women

The case of systematic crimes on Epstein’s island is not merely a moral scandal or the sexual corruption of several wealthy figures; it has now become a fully documented indictment — a decisive unmasking of the Western human rights discourse.

Zainab Mughniyeh: We Would Suddenly Find Him beside Us, and Then He Would Leave Again

Beirut - It is impressive how every time something is written about Hajj Imad, the words captivate the readers’ eyes and hearts. There is no need for a structural or anecdotal display in the writing. It is only enough to read the name "Imad Mughniyeh" several times, carefully and with passion. Perhaps that beautiful mystery is the reason, or perhaps his abilities, personality, history and jihad are the cause. But the inevitable is that Hajj Radwan was the magic of the resistance and its secret. He was that distant unknown innovator, who was only near once he was martyred.

Paper: Amid Trump’s Pressures, Al-Maliki’s Candidacy Remains Shrouded in Uncertainty

Iraq's parliamentary elections of November 11 with a 55-percent turnout marked a turning point in establishing a relative political order after years of instability. The swift formation of parliament's presidium and the initiation of the process to elect a president initially suggested that Baghdad might, unlike previous years, adhere to the constitutional timeline for forming a new government. However, the moment the selection of a prime minister began, the political landscape became gripped by a palpable paralysis, with Nouri al-Maliki's name at its very center.

Full Text: Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky's Message to the Third International Conference of Media Narrators of the Ahlul Bayt (AS)

In a world where social media empowers every individual to be a broadcaster but also serves as a potent instrument of propaganda, the challenge of conveying truth is paramount. At this important conference on media, convened during the blessed month of Dhū l-Qaʿda, we recognize the tremendous effort required to counter negative narratives and disseminate accurate information. The Ahlul-Bayt (as) World Assembly News Agency (ABNA) and its initiatives like Al-Thaqalayn International TV are essential in this endeavor, providing a reliable voice for the teachings of Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them) amidst a sea of controlled and misleading information.

Video: Quranic Teachings as a Guide for Human Life – Part Two: Gratitude

AhlulBayt News Agency: The Quran — a book of guidance and a blueprint for life — offers direction and solutions for every dimension of human existence. One of its most fundamental teachings is patience, a profound concept that, in Quranic logic, goes far beyond enduring hardships and suffering. It is an intentional way of living and a path toward growth and spiritual elevation. Patience in obedience and worship, patience in resisting the desires of the self, and patience in facing trials and difficulties all serve as foundations for spiritual refinement and human perfection. Through these forms of steadfastness, a person draws closer to inner tranquility and the salvation.
