Khilafah: 100 Years

Khilafah: 100 Years

Author: Geopolitical Horizons March 1, 2024 Duration: 1:07:52
The 3rd March 2024 marks the 100 year anniversary of the demise of the Khilafah. The decades leading up to the 3rd March 1924, was a difficult period for the global leadership of the Muslims, as various European powers were competing with each other over Arabia, North Africa, the Balkans and the Black sea. Today, 100 years on Capitalism's supremacy is running out of steam. As we fast approach the quarter point of the 21st century, the forward march of liberal values, the dominance of democracy and the liberal economic order are all on life support. The West is now struggling to justify why we should all be liberals. Across the Muslim world the demand for Islamic governance remains high, something recognised by successive polls and surveys. In the context of liberal values struggling to deliver, does the Khilafah 100 years since its demise still present a new opportunity for nearly 2 billion Muslims? Will its resurrection be able to work in the 21st century? 


Trying to make sense of the world's constant shifts requires more than just headlines; it needs context, depth, and a willingness to ask difficult questions. That's the space Geopolitical Horizons occupies. Each episode moves beyond the immediate news cycle to explore the deeper currents shaping our global landscape-the philosophical underpinnings of power, the cultural forces that drive societies, and the historical patterns that quietly repeat themselves. You’ll hear conversations that connect the dots between politics, identity, and human aspiration, offering not just analysis but a framework for personal understanding and growth in an interconnected age. This podcast is built on the idea that true education in current affairs involves examining the why behind the what, fostering a more nuanced perspective that listeners can carry into their own lives and communities. Geopolitical Horizons serves as a guide for those who feel that the standard narratives are insufficient, providing thoughtful commentary that is as concerned with the future of human society as it is with the day's events. It’s an invitation to look further, think deeper, and consider the vast horizon of possibilities that define our shared reality.
