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.
