Tomorrow morning I am looking forward to be in conversation with Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi and Nik Gowing at the Global Town Hall 2026, for a session with the rather timely title:

“Reality Check: How to Live in the Age of Mass Manipulation and Deception.”

We’ll be talking about something that increasingly shapes all our lives: how do we know what to believe? In a world of misinformation, disinformation, AI, deepfakes and competing narratives, how do we distinguish evidence from influence—and truth from deception?

So, if you’re awake, coffee in hand, please join us:
Saturday, 19 September | 06:20–07:35 (South African Time)

I think it will be a conversation worth getting up for.

John Esposito – an empathetic truth teller
AL-QALAM 24 JULY 2026

By Ebrahim Rasool (Former Ambassador to the USA)

On July 15, 2026, my flow of birthday wishes was interrupted with news more consequential, but mournfully sad: John Louis Esposito, at the age of 86, was no more. Sombreness overwhelmed me, and I counted back the almost four decades since I first encountered him, as one of those who were curiously excited about the South African transition, the presidency of Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu’s witness, and the prospects for a new future free from all discriminations following the travesty of apartheid.

The Zy-ni0st lobby instigated a malicious campaign aimed at preventing Muslim speakers who had spoken out against the genocide in Palestine from entering Canada to address the Muslim Association of Canada’s convention. Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool was among those detained by border control at a Canadian airport while on his way to the convention as an invited speaker.

It is moments like these that remind us why the work of the World for All Foundation matters.

These are the times when speaking truth, standing for justice, and refusing to look away from suffering come with consequences. Sometimes it means scrutiny. Sometimes it means inconvenience. Sometimes it means being stopped and detained at airports. Sometimes it means being denied entry into country. Sometimes it means being declared persona non grata.

But history records that justice only prevails, and oppression only ends, when justice and peace-loving people are willing to speak the truth even while experiencing tremendous personal consequences. And history shows, time and again, that they are often the ones who ultimately stand on the right side of history.

And so we continue our work, and we continue pray for peace and justice — and for the ability to see the Divine within one another.

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, Allah (SWT) says: وَلَا تَهِنُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَنتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ “Do not…

The Prophet’s legacy beyond nostalgia and ritual [+ videos]
12 May 2026
Muslim Views, Mahmood Sanglay

Ebrahim Rasool sharpened this challenge by asking whether repeated devotional practices alone can respond to the deep crises confronting both the ummah and humanity. He situated these crises within what he called a “70 by 70” condition: in the roughly 70 years since World War II, Muslims have found themselves in the centre of the overwhelming majority of global conflicts, whether through colonial intervention, dispossession, occupation or authoritarianism.

The book, comprising an introduction and twenty essays, emerges from the broader 1500 Prophetic Legacy Project, marking approximately 1500 lunar years since

Middle Powers: Coping with a rogue superpower (Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool),

AL-QALAM, 24 APRIL 2026

But Iran is proving more resilient than expected, and survival itself is victory. The United States, however, no longer appears impervious to resistance, but while it is vulnerable as a superpower, it still retains sufficient superpowers to prevail. Middle powers, traditional and emergent, are now forced to consider what a post-American world would look like. In the interim, they have to cope with an America that is an incoherent, rogue, and punitive superpower, bereft of strategic vision.
