We hear this at our events, and after the year we've all had, it's not surprising.

Many men carry deep pain behind an appearance of strength, often staying silent because they fear shame.
Islam gives us a model of men who grieved, wept, and supported one another through hardship. Sometimes the most important thing a brother can do is create a space where another man feels safe enough to finally say, “I’m not okay.”

🇺🇸 DID AMERICAN MUSLIMS GET PLAYED?
Or have they finally WON? And does the political establishment always win anyway?
After Trump’s crushing midterm defeat and the election of America’s first Muslim senator, Imam Tom Facchine joins us again to explain what really happened — and why Muslims shouldn’t celebrate just yet.
🔥 AIPAC, Israel, Iran, Islamophobia, the “Establishment” and the future of Muslim political power.

Who’s attacking motherhood and fatherhood?
How are modern psychological narratives and media portrayals shaping our understanding of motherhood, fatherhood, and family life?
Imam Abdullah Hasan examines how certain feminist and postmodern ideas have influenced attitudes towards parenting roles, and why Muslims should think carefully about the assumptions they adopt when understanding family relationships and the causes of psychological distress.

How did Jesus’ message become centred on his death?
Jesus’ teachings centred on worshipping the one God, sincerity, and loving your neighbour. So why did his death and resurrection become the centre of Christian belief?
Paul Williams of Blogging Theology speaks about the distinction between following Jesus’ teachings and building a religion around his person, exploring the message found in his parables and the Sermon on the Mount, and its connections with the Islamic emphasis on tawhīd and sincere faith.

A deed can look righteous to everyone watching and still be empty before Allah, if the intention is wrong!
This is a world built around ego, visibility, praise, algorithms. The real test is whether you would still do the deed when nobody was there to see it.

What happens when a man spends years bottling up what he feels?
In this resource for Hold On, therapist Ahmed Tomal explores the anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts that can follow, and what real brotherhood can look like when someone finally speaks.

Connection can help someone through depression
Loneliness, isolation, trauma, and depression can leave someone disconnected from themselves and the people around them. Rebuilding that connection, even through simple acts of self-care, can create space to work through painful experiences and begin moving forward.

Sometimes, holding on does not mean feeling strong. Sometimes, it simply means not allowing the darkest moment to convince you that it is the whole story.
Depression, anxiety, grief, and prolonged stress can leave us feeling as though our hearts cannot take any more. The Qur’ān speaks of hearts that become overwhelmed, restless, and afraid, but also of hearts strengthened by faith and finding rest in the remembrance of Allah.
Exploring these verses alongside neuroscience, Maria Akbar reflects on how we can hold on through emotional pain while seeking support, and remember that our darkest moments do not tell the whole story.

Many couples turn to their local Imam when facing marital challenges, but are they equipped with the skills to support them effectively?
On Thursday 26 November, Islamic Council is delivering a new CPD workshop to help Imams navigate marital conflict, recognise safeguarding concerns, and know when specialist intervention is needed.

A believer never says something is impossible
What seems impossible with our limited resources is always possible with Allah. The Prophet ﷺ transformed the outlook of the Muslims in Makkah, teaching them to look beyond their immediate circumstances.
At the age of 82, the Companion Abū Ayyūb al-Ansārī joined a military expedition, so how can we ever close the door on what Allah can make possible?

In this upcoming issue of Think Again, Dr. Hamza Tzortzis will lay out the contradictions behind liberalism's claims to freedom of speech.

The hidden obstacles to sincerity
Fame, money, recognition, fear of judgment, and jealousy can all get in the way of sincere daʿwah. But these struggles are part of the ongoing battle against the nafs, and no one is immune to them.
Shaykh Shaqur Rehman explores why accountability matters, particularly for influencers and duʿāt, and what can happen when people have no one to challenge them or keep them in check.

A review that targeted anti-Semitism in schools could ultimately widen Prevent’s reach, while leaving Muslim children under growing scrutiny for expressing support for Palestine.
Dr. Layla Aitlhadj, Director of Prevent Watch, examines the implications of the Bell Review and what it could mean for pupils, parents, and schools.

No, your thoughts don't define you
Distressing thoughts can leave us feeling anxious, ashamed, or afraid of what they say about us. But experiencing a thought does not make us a bad person, nor does having suicidal thoughts mean we want to act on them.
Drawing on Islamic teachings about waswās and self-reflection, Dr. Kemal Ibrahim talks about how we can recognise thought patterns, identify triggers, and observe our inner struggles without becoming consumed by them.

On 2 November 1917, Britain committed one of the most heinous crimes of the last century, lighting the fuse for one of the longest-running injustices of the modern era.

Give people what they need, not what they want
Daʿwah should be guided by the Qur’ān, not audience preferences or the pursuit of online attention. When we let the Qur’ān set our direction, we address the issues people need to hear about, even when they are not the topics they would choose themselves.
