Our Philosophy:
The heart and core of al-Thaqalayn Muslim Association (TMA)
revolves around the two weighty things, al-Thaqalayn of which the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (S) said:
"I have been summoned (by Allah) and the moment is
near for me to answer (to die). I leave among you the two weighty
things: the Book of Allah the Almighty and my progeny; Allah’s book is
(like) a rope extending from heaven to earth, and my progeny are the (Ahlul-Bayt).
The Merciful informed me that the two will never part, until they come
to me at the Pool (of Kawthar in Paradise), I warn you against deserting
them".*
Islam from our point of view has two sides. The first is
revelation, al-tanzeel. The second is correct interpretation,
al-ta'weel. Interpretation without revelation is impossible.
Meanwhile revelation, without correct interpretation simply means
deviation and loss of the message. Therefore we should look at
revelation and correct interpretation as two sides of the same coin,
al-Islam.
Upon this foundation, and only this foundation, does TMA
rest. TMA is not affiliated with any organization. Nor is it affiliated
to a specific Marja’ Taqleed, rather TMA acknowledges all of them, both
the alive (may Allah elevate their stations) and the dead (may Allah
bless their souls).
On this platform, TMA hopes to:
Promote the teachings of the Holy Qur’an and the
purified Ahlul-Bayt.
Unite and defend the followers adhering to the Holy
Qur’an and the Ahlul-Bayt from misconceptions and false propaganda.
Create bridges of peace, unity, and harmony amongst
humankind in general and Muslims in particular.
As a final note, it is the belief of TMA that all of its
members are valuable contributors. We are not a hierarchy of
individuals, but are instead a closely-knit group of dedicated students
working for the pleasure of Allah (SWT).
