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).
