The killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei in a joint American and Israeli strike did not simply end the life of an 86-year-old cleric. It tore through the central pillar of the Islamic Republic and left a nation, and much of the region, staring into an unfamiliar and unsettled future.

His death marked not only a dramatic escalation in an already volatile confrontation, but the abrupt unravelling…

Its tournaments were conducted with splendor and ceremony; the arena was a place where courage met character.

Against this cultural backdrop, Adam Grant offers a corrective that feels both grounded and quietly radical. In his book Hidden Potential, Grant dismantles the comfortable fiction that ability is fixed and that destiny is sealed early. He shifts the conversation from starting…

By Sarwat Shah In the bustling noise of modern parenting and academic pressure, we often hear the phrase “holistic health”. We picture it as a perfect pie chart: eat your greens (physical health), focus on studies to secure good grades (academic health), get your eight hours of sleep (mental health) and make time for friends (social health). However, there is a profound, often overlooked slice of that pie — the one that gives meaning to all the others. At Khudi, we believe that true holistic health is incomplete without a fair share of spiritual health. For years, we have dedicated…
