Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem Sunday issued a statement on the death anniversary of Imam Rohullah Khomeini, affirming, 'We live in hope for the victory of righteousness over falsehood.'

Sheikh Qassem noted that Imam Khomeini personified the principles of faith, purity, morality, and the rejection of injustice, occupation, and subservience, followed by the resistance movements in the region. Hezbollah Chief maintained that Imam Khomeini moved Iran from the Shah ruling, backed by the US tyranny, to the independent and honorable Islamic Republic which supports the oppressed all over the world. Sheikh Qassem underlined the central role of Iran in supporting the Umma's issues, especially the Palestinian cause, saying that the Iranian Revolution has steadily supported the resistance to liberate occupied Palestine and Al-Quds.

Durban man previously accused of terrorism wants to run for elections
JOHANNESBURG - A Durban man previously accused of terrorism and attempted bombings wants to run for elections. Farhad Hoomer said he was in the final stages of registering his party, the Islamic State of South Africa. Hoomer was previously arrested for running a terrorist cell in South Africa. However, all charges against him were dropped. In 2018, Hoomer was arrested along with 17 others for an attack at the Shi'a Imam Hussain Mosque in Verulam. One person died and two others were injured in that incident. Then in 2021, Hoomer was arrested for being in possession of 5,000 rounds of ammunition, an AK-47, a rifle with a scope, and a cellphone jammer. However, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has dropped all charges against him. Now a free man, Hoomer said he wanted to contribute positively to the country. "My main reason for starting a political party is because of the injustice happening in the world. We can see we are slaves to the system. The banking system of the world has enslaved us and the only solution to free mankind from slavery is Sharia law." Hoomer said the party had already started preparing for the next local government elections.

Largest blood drive returns for 27th year
TDT | Manama Bahrain's largest blood donation initiative, the Imam Hussein (PBUH) Blood Donation Campaign, will mark its 27th edition this year under the slogan 'Blood in Your Name', with preparations already underway. Scheduled to take place on the 8th and 9th of Muharram, the campaign will once again be hosted at Al Hilal Medical Center - Manama Central, in partnership with Al Hilal Healthcare Group and in coordination with the Ministry of Health. Dr Fadel Al-Nasheet, Chairman of the Higher Organising Committee, expressed appreciation for the support of the Ministry of Health, led by Her Excellency Dr Jalila bint AlSayed Jawad Hassan. He also thanked Al Hilal Healthcare Group for hosting the campaign for a second year, highlighting its role in strengthening community partnerships. The committee has been holding coordination meetings with Al Hilal officials to finalise preparations, including upgrades to the electronic appointment system to ensure a smoother donation process. Dr Al-Nasheet said the overwhelming response each year reflects Bahrainis' deep-rooted generosity and interfaith solidarity during Ashura, inspired by the legacy of Imam Hussein (PBUH). Dr Sharath Chandran, CEO of Al Hilal Healthcare Group, said the group is proud to host the campaign again, underlining its commitment to community service. He said the group's teams would spare no effort in making the event successful, stressing that blood donations can transform lives and preserve a noble tradition of helping others in hardship. Enduring legacy The campaign began in 2000 as a grassroots initiative led by residents of Al-Naeem and the Naim Charitable Society (formerly Naim Charitable Fund), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health. It has since grown into a national movement that has supplied 16,526 blood bags to the Central Blood Bank, including 49 bags from a special edition held in December 2024. The event continues to be one of Bahrain's most enduring symbols of humanitarian unity, carrying forward the values of sacrifice and service championed by Imam Hussein (PBUH).

Adel Imam turns 85: Egypt's enduring icon of laughter, defiance, and truth
This year, the legendary Adel Imam turns eighty-five, yet he remains an irreplaceable presence in the collective memory of Egyptians and Arabs alike—not merely as a beloved actor, but as a cultural force who made generations laugh, reflect, and confront uncomfortable truths. His work has always gone beyond entertainment; he became the nation's mirror, capturing its joys and wounds, its revolutions and its regressions. 'Valentino': Legacy and Continuity In 'Valentino' (Ramadan 2020), Imam returned to the screen with a series that fused social comedy with subtle critique. Addressing Egypt's educational system through satire, he shared the screen with the late Dalal Abdel Aziz and lifelong friend Samir Sabri. By spotlighting young talent, Imam demonstrated a long-standing belief: art lives on only through generational renewal. As always, he delivered laughter with a dose of truth. Defying Red Lines with a Smile From his earliest films, Adel Imam never bowed to censorship. In 'Bakhit wa Adeela' (1995), he took direct aim at parliament, portraying MPs as corrupt profiteers. While some focused on the film's romantic scenes, its deeper message was a bold political critique. The same subversive spirit animated 'Elwad Mahrous Betaa Alwazir,' which cloaked a biting indictment of government corruption in comedic form. Standing Up to Extremism In the 1990s, as terrorism spread and artists were targeted, Imam did not retreat. Against the advice of loved ones, he released 'The Terrorist,' confronting extremism at a time when fear silenced many. The film drew fierce backlash, but its impact resonated more deeply than any editorial—art became resistance. The Stage as a Platform of Protest Imam's stage plays, including 'Al Zaeem' and 'Body Guard,' continued his tradition of critique—lampooning power structures and even mocking late president Hosni Mubarak. These performances risked state reprisal, but Imam remained undeterred, committed to the principle that an artist must speak truth to power. A Return to Political Drama With 'Firqat Nagy Atallah' (2012), Imam marked his return to television, delivering a scathing portrait of Arab disunity. His most piercing line—'Countries toppling over countries'—summed up the region's geopolitical chaos. Later, in 'Ostaz wa Ra'ees Qesm' (2015), he tackled Egypt's most pivotal era: the lead-up to and aftermath of the January Revolution. The show offered a balanced, human portrayal of diverse political factions, emphasizing that disagreement is not division, but democracy in motion. More Than an Actor: A Conscience Throughout his career, Adel Imam was not merely a performer. He was a thinker, a provocateur, and a master of nuance. Every role carried a message, every film a mirror to society's contradictions. He possessed the rare courage to articulate the unspoken, offering Egypt not just entertainment, but introspection. A Legacy Etched in Laughter and Truth Now, in 2025, Adel Imam remains the joyful soul and the unflinching voice of Egypt. He spoke when others were silent, laughed in the face of fear, and gave his people not only reasons to smile, but the clarity to understand themselves. His legacy is not only in what he portrayed—but in what he challenged, what he defended, and what he dared to say. He is not just 'Al Zaeem' ('The Leader'). He is Egypt—when it laughs, when it questions, and when it refuses to be silenced.
