    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.

  • Ramadan Is a Revolution of the Self | Sami Hamdi

    In 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.

    http://btml.us/thinkingmuslim


    In this episode of The Thinking Muslim, we sit down with Hussam Alyoush, CEO of CAIR California, to discuss some of the most urgent civil rights challenges facing Muslim and immigrant communities today. From ICE operations and the shocking deaths of U.S. citizens to the erosion of civil liberties and the rise of Islamophobia, we unpack how state power and fear are reshaping American society.


    Hussam shares his insights on the driving forces behind the national uproar against ICE, the role of CAIR in defending civil rights, and the differences between U.S. and European Muslim advocacy. We also explore controversial topics like designating CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization, Muslim migration due to Islamophobia, and how to support Syria beyond humanitarian aid. This episode is a critical conversation about justice, civil liberties, and the fight against systemic oppression.
