We Are Religious, Yet Anxious and Restless: Where Did We Go Wrong?
Sometimes a person prays, recites supplications, reads the Quran, and even speaks to others about God — yet inside, he is full of anxiety, resentment, and fear. So why does religiosity not always lead to tranquility? Perhaps the problem is not a "lack of worship"; perhaps it is that religion has not yet traveled from the tongue to the heart, and from appearance to lifestyle.

If Imam Reza (peace be upon him) Were in Cyberspace Today, How Would He Speak with Opponents?
If Imam Reza (peace be upon him) were on social media today, his page would likely not be full of quarrels, insults, and angry replies. His historical debates show that even when facing an opponent, he first turned to logic, fairness, and the opponent's own language. Imam Reza (peace be upon him) teaches us that one can defend one's belief firmly without sacrificing ethics in the name of defending the truth.

The Razavi Way of Life: A Model for Today's Society
On the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Reza (peace be upon him), a re-reading of his political, scholarly, and social conduct shows that his historical experience of confronting the pressure of power, rumor-mongering, communication restrictions, and intellectual debates remains instructive and worthy of analysis for today's social issues — among them media literacy, rational dialogue, social justice, and the independence of the institutions of knowledge and religion.

Is Our Digital Lifestyle Compatible with the Prophet's Way of Life?
Today, mobile phones have connected us to the world, yet at times they pull us away from the closest people in our lives — families who share a single roof, yet each lives inside the world of their own screen. If the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) were in our homes today, his central concern would surely not be the phone itself, but what we have done with our time, our family, our gaze, and our attention.

"The Martyr of Unity": The Extension of a Quranic Ideal in the Thought and Life of the Martyred Leader
Relying on Quranic verses — among them "And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together" and "The believers are but brothers" — the martyred Leader regarded unity not as a temporary tactic, but as a grand, rational, and trans-sectarian strategy for the dignity of the Islamic ummah. By establishing the Unity Conference, prohibiting insults against Sunni sanctities, and presenting Palestine as the axis of convergence, he institutionalized this principle in practice. His pure blood and the epic funeral procession were the ultimate proof that unity is an ideal one must stand for to the very end — and today, as an enduring legacy, it is the guiding light of the Islamic ummah.

The Mirror of Unity: Knowing One Another and Brotherhood on the Path of Arbaeen
By putting the verse "li-ta'arafu" into practice, Arbaeen turns differences of race and nationality into stepping stones toward mutual understanding and empathy. Clinging to "habl Allah" — the firm rope of God — this gathering takes hold of the unbreakable cord of Husseini love and shatters division. And through the faith-based brotherhood of "innama al-mu'minuna ikhwa," it sweeps aside geographic and linguistic borders and paints a picture of a single world united in love.

A Heart That Went Along with the Coffin
I think about what it means to be Shia. If we know so well how to hold a funeral procession like this, then we should know how to be Shia even better. Along the procession route, did the thought ever cross our minds to abandon the coffin and take another route to reach the destination sooner? Along the procession route, was there anything that mattered to us other than staying beside the coffin?! Being Shia is exactly this. This very shape of the procession — but beside the living, present Imam. Of course, our being Shia has its degrees.

Husseini Passion: A Fire That Will Never Be Extinguished
Despite seventy years of prohibition, the destruction of the shrine, the severing of pilgrims' hands, and even the bombing of border crossings, love for the Master of Martyrs did not fade. Instead, it burns brighter with each passing year, illuminating the road to Karbala more clearly than ever.
