In this episode of The Thinking Muslim Podcast, Dr Muhammad al-Mukhtar al-Shinqiti joins us for a wide-ranging discussion on the shifting global order, the Iran conflict, American power, China’s rise, and the future of the Muslim world. From geopolitics and military strategy to civilisational decline and Islamic thought, this conversation explores the deeper forces shaping our world today.

We examine America’s changing strategy in the Middle East, Iran’s asymmetric military capabilities, and the growing possibility of a new regional order emerging across the Muslim world. The discussion also explores China’s long-term strategic outlook through the lens of Sun Tzu, the limits of superpower conflict and whether the era of unquestioned American hegemony is coming to an end.

Dr. Al-Shinqiti reflects on the intellectual and spiritual condition of the Muslim world, drawing comparisons between the strength of early Islamic civilisation and the challenges facing modern Muslim societies today. The conversation concludes with a discussion on younger Muslim generations, the future we hope to see over the next decade, and the enduring influence of Muhammad Iqbal.
