Some Muslims, and even some non-Muslims have a very one-sided view of Islam. Islam is either portrayed as a religion of complete love in all circumstances, or it\'s portrayed as a savage and blood-thirsty religion. Both portrayals of Islam are completely incorrect and biased. Islam is a religion that shows us the way of perfect harmony and balance. With this in mind, where does the concept of Jihad fit in all this? What are the different faces and manifestations of the war of evil against good, and of falsehood against Truth? What place does the \"soft war\" have in all this?

We often criticise other religions for being polytheistic, but it is vital that we recognise that there are many polytheistic traits in some belief systems within the folds of the Muslims. Islam itself, being the perfect religion, has no polytheism whatsoever. It’s very clear: there is only one God, one direction and one purpose. But people end up attributing limitations to Allah without realising it. This episode is all about the most fundamental principle of Islam: the Oneness of God. Here in the Islamic Seminary of Qom, we learn that one of the main reasons why people run away from faith is the incorrect behaviour or beliefs of those who call themselves religious. Sometimes, despite how perfect the religion might be, the followers of the religion end up becoming a barrier between the common people and their relationship with God. Have a topic in mind?

Shaykh Imran Hosein is a respected Sunni scholar, who is united with us in unmasking the enemies of Islam. The Takfiri ideology continues to be alienated. Today, more than ever before, all the pious and sincere scholars of the Islamic world realize that sectarianism is a plague that serves none but the enemies of Islam. To unite on commonalities with our respective identities, beliefs, history and jurisprudence (of Shia or Sunni school) is a logical approach. #LongLiveIslamicUnity #LongLiveShiaSunniUnity

How easily do we discard or write-off other believers just because they don\\\'t quite have the same worldview or religious commitment as of ours. For those who consider themselves to be strong in their beliefs and Islamic foundations, they must engage with those who seemingly have weaker faith. After all, they belong to us; they are our youth; they are part of our society. Don\\\'t rush into labeling others just because some of their deficiencies are obvious. Embrace others and help them grow. A lesson from our beloved martyr Qasem Soleimani.
