What happens when centuries-old interpretations of Islamic governance continue to shape political systems in today’s world, often at odds with democracy, human rights, and gender equality? Across regions, from Iran to Afghanistan and beyond, movements draw on Islamic political jurisprudence as a foundation for their authority, yet questions remain about its relevance and adaptability in a modern, pluralistic society.

Can traditional Islamic political concepts evolve to meet the values of the present day?

To explore this important question, we recently had the honor of speaking with Mr. Ahrar Ramizpoor, a distinguished scholar of Islamic and human rights law, President of the World Anti-Extremism Network (WAEN), and a former Human Rights Officer with the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). With decades of experience in legal scholarship, civil society, and peacebuilding efforts across the region, Mr. Ramizpoor brings a rare and nuanced perspective to this conversation.

If you’re someone interested in the intersection of religion, governance, and human rights, or if you’ve ever wondered whether Islamic political thought can coexist with democratic values, this podcast is a must-listen.
