The End of Empire?
from The Middle Ground Podcast Hosted by Imam Marc Manley
﷽ Welcome to Episode Twenty Four of the Middle Ground Podcast. Myself, Imam Marc, and brother Dawud Aleman. In this we explore what it means for us as Muslims to be at the end of American/western empire. We look at the writings of investor Ray Dalio and ask if his predictions are accurate or whether they’re too reductionist. As usual, we discuss all topics in light of the Qur’ān and statements from the Prophet, ﷺ. This episode can also be found on YouTube as we are now live streaming all of our episodes there. You can also watch our podcast live on Instagram as well. Other references in this episode: * Sūrah al-Jāthiyah v. 14: “˹O Prophet!˺ Tell the believers to forgive those who do not fear Allah’s days ˹of torment˺, so that He will reward each group for what they used to commit.” * Sūrah Fāṭir v. 43: “Are they awaiting anything but the fate of those ˹destroyed˺ before? You will find no change in the way of Allah, nor will you find it diverted ˹to someone else˺.” * Some critiques of Ray Dalio’s Principles – (PDF). Imam’s Corner is a reader-supported publication.
