Seerah & Geopolitics: How the Prophet ﷺ Built a Civilisation | Wadah Khanfar
Feb 2701:38:53Tap to summarizeHelp us expand our Muslim media project here: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/member...Donate to our charity partner Baitulmaal here: http://btml.us/thinkingmuslim This week on the thinking muslim we ask How did the Prophet (PBUH) navigate two superpowers and the fractured tribes of Arabia - and what does that teach us about power today? What is power really about? And what is it not?In this episode with Wadah Khanfar, we explore the geopolitics and strategy of Prophetic leadership. We unpack what power truly means in Islam - not domination or ego, but justice, restraint, strategic astuteness, and removing barriers to truth for human flourishing.Find Wadah Khanfar here: X: https://x.com/khanfarwIG: https://www.instagram.com/khanfarw/?hl=enFind Wadah Khanfars Book "The First Spring" here: https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/The-First-Spring-by-Wadah-Khanfar-author-Aslam-Farouk-Alli-translator/9781788711036?srsltid=AfmBOoqo4II6LaixKbehuM464p0LI-j1cBn6vo9Xln4RWhWSv4_Qf9vGOr give your one-off donation here: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/donateSubscribe to our Dubbed ChannelsArabic: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkingMuslimArabicFrench: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkingMuslimFrançaisSpanish: https://www.youtube.com/@TheThinkingMuslimEspañolListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Purchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merchFind us on:X: https://x.com/thinking_muslimLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-thinking-muslim/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslimBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@thinkingmuslimpodcastFind Muhammad Jalal here:X: https://twitter.com/jalalaynInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com Hosted on Acast.

Transcribe →Ramadan Is a Revolution of the Self | Sami Hamdi
Feb 1700:18:40Tap to summarizeThis Ramadan, help us expand our Muslim media project here:Become a Monthly Member: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipDonate via LaunchGood: https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/grow_the_thinking_muslim_podcastIn this short segment, Sami Hamdi emphasises that the month in which the Qur’an was revealed is a month of action, not rest. He explains that Ramadan was never intended to be a period of passivity or withdrawal, but a time rooted in purpose and transformation. The revelation itself came as a challenge to injustice and oppression, calling people to reform both themselves and the societies around them.By reminding us that the Qur’an descended in Ramadan, he highlights that this month is connected to movement, struggle, and moral clarity. The Prophet ﷺ did not suspend his mission during Ramadan. Rather, it was a time of intensified resolve and commitment. Fasting is therefore not about slowing down, but about disciplining the self so that one can act with greater strength, courage, and dedication to justice.You can find Sami Hamdi here:X: https://x.com/SALHACHIMIIG: https://www.instagram.com/salhachimiBecome a member here:https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membershipOr give your one-off donation here:https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/grow_the_thinking_muslim_podcastSubscribe to our Dubbed ChannelsArabic: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkingMuslimArabicFrench: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkingMuslimFrançaisSpanish: https://www.youtube.com/@TheThinkingMuslimEspañolListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Purchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merchFind us on:X: https://x.com/thinking_muslimLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-thinking-muslim/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslimBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@thinkingmuslimpodcastFind Muhammad Jalal here:X: https://twitter.com/jalalaynInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.comDisclaimer:The views expressed in this video are those of the individual speaker(s) and do not represent the views of the host, producers, platform, or any affiliated organisation.
