From geopolitics and military strategy to civilisational decline and Islamic thought, this conversation explores the deeper forces shaping our world today.We examine America’s changing strategy in the Middle East, Iran’s asymmetric military capabilities, and the growing possibility of a new regional order emerging across the Muslim world. The discussion also explores China’s long-term strategic outlook through the lens of Sun Tzu, the limits of superpower conflict and whether the era of unquestioned American hegemony is coming to an end.Dr. Al-Shinqiti reflects on the intellectual and spiritual condition of the Muslim world, drawing comparisons between the strength of early Islamic civilisation and the challenges facing modern Muslim societies today. The conversation concludes with a discussion on younger Muslim generations, the future we hope to see over the next decade, and the enduring influence of Muhammad Iqbal.Find Muhammad al-Mukhtar al-Shinqiti here:X: https://x.com/mshinqitiOr 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.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.
