Nabi SAW sought the protection of a Good Superpower, King Najashi.
In the tribal society of Arabia, Nabi SAW live under the protection of his Good Uncle, Abu Talib.
These were disbelievers who helped the cause of Islam at is weakest.

THE GLOBAL VILLAGE
The united nations is the only council we have.
The Western minority should work to strengthen the UN, not weaken it.
INSTITUTIONS VS LEADERS
We need to learn to be more competitive and more effective.
We are not looking for a leader, we are looking for many leaders.
Leaders change. Institutions outlive leaders.
We need institutions led by hundreds of Muslim leaders.

Islamic Unity requires a 50 year plan.
States are the ideal institution.
We accept each other’s beliefs and culture.

TYPES OF SCHOLARS
1. Those sincerely working for the revival of the ummah.
2. Majority are not scholars, but graduates of shariah. They have no effect. Every week, their are one million jummah khutbah in the Muslim world. Have no effect on reality, politics.
3. Palace scholars. They white wash the crimes of the leaders.
WE NEED TO TRAIN A NEW GENERATION OF SCHOLARS
1. Learn Shariah deeply.
2. How to affect people – Media, Authoring articles, Ability to have interviews
3. Deep faith and strong values – The Shariah will not protect you from supporting the tyrants.
4. We need to be less emotional, and more strategic.
After reviewing all the stories of previous prophets and messengers, I can only but conclude they all sought political power and authority to ensure collective submission of their nation to Allah, i.e., Islam.
An ideology is an all-embracing systematic doctrine, which is usually a theory of how to achieve the “good and well being of society”.
Power
Independence requires hard power
Nabi SAW allied only with independent leaders (Al-Aws wal Khazraj), and rejected those with treaties with the enemy.
Power – Getting others to want the outcomes one wants.
Hard power: The use of coercion and payment.
Soft power: Co-opts people rather than coerces them.
Soft power can be wielded not just by states but also by all actors in international politics, such as NGOs or international institutions.
For some time after the Prophet (ﷺ) proclaimed his Prophethood, the Muslims gathered at Durul Arkam, the house of Arkam, to perform salah and to learn about Islam without fear of torture or persecution. It effectively became the first Study Circle or Madressa (Islamic school) in Islam.
When the Muslims were being persecuted in Makkah, the Prophet SAW sent a group of Muslims to Abyssinia. Like Mecca, Abyssinia was not a Muslim society but it’s king, Negus, preserved the rights of the Muslim minority, and gave them protection and freedom of faith. Abyssinia was described as a land where no one was oppressed and this is what prompted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to encourage Muslims to migrate there. The Prophet wanted to keep a strategic reserve for Islam in a far and safe place beyond the reach of Quraish’s tyranny.
When the Messenger of Allah (saw) met the tribes in the season, he called them to Allah and to Islam and to offer what he brought from Allah’s guidance and mercy. He approached those who were known and of honor and invited them to the message he brought. If he accepted Islam, then the Prophet (saw) would request his Nusra (material support). Thereafter he formed an alliance between Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj, to form the Ansar (Helpers) of Medina.
When the noble Messenger of Allah (pbuh) arrived in Madinah, one of his first acts was to promulgate the Covenant of Madinah that established the first Islamic State on a legal basis. Soon thereafter, the noble Messenger (pbuh) entered into treaty arrangements with neighboring tribes.
- Political War: International Islamic Shura Council
- Political Awareness
- The Prophet SAW was aware of what was happening around him in the Arabian Peninsula and its surroundings. He knew that the Negus of Abyssinia was a just king and that no one would be wronged under his rule.
- This should be a trait of all Muslims: to know and understand the context in which they are living and have an idea about the environment surrounding them to be able to know when and how to do something.
- International Islamic Shura Council
- The Muslims are identified by their love for Allah SWT, His Prophet SAW, Islam and the Muslims.
- Invite representatives from all Muslim nations.
- Invite those who are well-known and of honor.
- To accept Islam and help Islam with their wealth and their lives.
- Peace treaties
- The Holy Prophet (saw) extended his acquaintance with neighboring tribes of Medina in order to establish peace treaties, so that the vicinity of the region could breathe a sigh of relief from the constant fear of attack by intruders.
- Political Awareness
- Psychological Decolonization: Halaqat & Social Media
- Defend Truth
- Learn and Teach the vast knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah.
- Establish a school or a regular study circle in person or online.
- Share the universal truth of Islam with everyone, everywhere, even in public places.
- Expose Falsehood
- The Quraiyshi trade caravans propagated false information and provoked neighboring tribes of Medina against Muslims.
- Defend Truth
- Economic Decolonization: Intercepting their Caravans
- These trade caravans were always heavily armed and accompanied with trained soldiers. Their passing closer to Medina could always end up with a sudden attack on Muslims.
- These trade caravans were a big source of livelihood for the Quraish. By intercepting them, it was possible to bring Quraish cruelties and oppression to an end. Above all it constrained them to reconciliation, which they denied to come to terms with, from day one. In fact, history bears witness that this strategy produced miraculous results and ultimately compelled the Quraish to come to reconciliation in the end.
- The revenue of these trade caravans was mostly, in some cases entirely, spent on war against Muslims. Hence, interception of these caravans was a legitimate reason for Muslims.
- Territorial Decolonization: Defensive Jihad
- Hacking
- Damaging information systems.
- Extracting vital information.
- Surveillance systems
- The Holy Prophet (saw) established a surveillance system around Medina in order to stay informed of the movements of the Quraish and their allies, in case they attempted a sudden attack.
- Defensive Jihād: Resisting Oppression
- Guerrilla warfare cannot be stopped by conventional militaries. This is true when looking at the record of superpowers verses asymmetric forces such as in Russia vs. Afghanistan, US-NATO Coalition vs. Afghanistan.
- The presence of armed guerrillas creates a perpetual status of instability which neutralizes the state, and makes it susceptible to foreign intervention.
- Hacking
THE WEST
They form alliances and BLOCS.
We divide, nationalise and vy for protection from outside powers.

There are other countries that want a multi-polar world, where countries can pursue their own ideologies, their own economic systems, etc.
It is worth noting that Turkish-Russian relations are marked by a complex interplay, featuring both collaborative efforts and opposition in proxy wars.
Identity Politics
Genuine Liberals believe in:
- Meritocracy – Do capable people become leaders ?
- Equal Opportunity
- Colour-Blind Justice
Covid 19 was an American attack on China
Cannot rely on on market forces, need the intervention of the state.
Too many checks and balances leads to more corruption.
Stronger leadership.
There are time where we will need more distributed power, thats possible, but not now.
- Race
- Gender
- Religion
Oppressed marginalized minority. Society shaped by systemic racism.
Identity Politics is more pronounced in America and Britain
Jobs based on politics of race or gender.
Exploiting our moral sensibilities
Calls to dismantle imperialist capitalist.
Abolishment of prisons and detention centers
Taking advantage of our natural desire to be liked, they
People are judged by the content of their character.
Oppositional Determination
- The chefs cooking the food in front of the patrons obscures the preparation that takes place behind the scenes.
- The spectacle of productivity, obscures the base layer of production that has to occur.
- Race and Gender hide Class in plain sight.
- The democratization and broadening of the struggle by means of identity politics.
- The particularization of struggle into the myriad forms of struggle, allow the functioning of Capitalism to take place as the ultimate horizon of all meaning in the world.
- If we particularize the struggle, we lose the sense of the universal, we lose the struggle itself.
- Capitalism is all to happy to celebrate the victories of identity politics.
- Identity politics is a trap, whereby narratives of victimhood becomes necessary in order to create legitimacy for oneself.
- The ultimate narrative of victimhood is the White-Ethnic one.
- The obstacle to power in a feudal society, is competition for power.
- A healthy democracy is one in which people do not agree and there is a constant fight for power by different interests.
- The monarch or feudal authority creates the illusion of stability.
- Government exists as the protector of of Civic Society.
- Any resistance to this illusion is considered something that undermines the very foundations of society. Anarchy and Chaos would ensue.
Democracy is the Will of the People
- The rule of the people, essentially means that the people equals the Universal Truth or core of society.
- The government becomes depoliticized and neutered of it’s authoritarian content, so as to guarantee the interests of civic society.
- The government exists to safeguard the rights of the property holding class.
- Capitalism continues feudal system of repression in it’s opposite guise.
- In a Capitalist system, government exists to ensure the continued functioning of Capital.
- Post-ideological and post-political is the process by which ideology and political allegiances come to seem suspicious to us.
- Instead we have a technocratic class, a centrist government, which outsources problems to the Consultant Class, so that we can have the illusion of a politics that serves Capital and the Capital Class and therefore Capitalism.
The false universal of post-modern identity politics
- The political is never about the overt political content nor about the political ideology behind it. The political is the investigative inquiry into a societies universal and particular positions of belonging.
- Feudal society – The monarch is the universal representative of the authority of God. The responsibility of society is to sustain the universal core.
- Capitalist society – Governing class becomes devoid of ideological content. It becomes post-political, technocratic. It is there to serve Capitalism.
- Struggles in identity politics serves to obscure the idea that no theoretical or practical alternative to Capitalism can take place.
- The working class was taken to be the universal class, because never was the working class considered the majority.
- The central logic of identity politics is how to make Capitalism work for the poorer class.
- The ideology of Capitalism is that nobody is poor, everyone is in the process of becoming rich.
- The working class is not seeking representation, instead it is seeking absolution and seeking to deidentify itself.
- If the goal of the working class, is to eliminate the necessity for a working class.
- Identity politics is the opposite of this and moves people into wider dissemination.
- It is the reduction of class into representational struggle.
- The most radical conclusion of the New Testament, is not that man can ascend to unite with God.
- It is that God equals weak, fallen man.
- The Divine essence is made manifest only by means of
- It is not How to reunite with God.
- It is how God is reunited with us.
- It is that Truth is transposed onto appearance.
- Democracy is not a melting pot of cultures.
- It is a constant struggle to articulate the needs of society.

- Emergence of Alternative Currencies: Currencies like the Chinese yuan and the Indian rupee are gaining prominence, with some countries seeking to reduce their dependence on the US dollar.
- Digital Currencies: The development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), such as China’s digital yuan, presents potential alternatives to the dollar-dominated financial system.
cial Landscape Transformation:** A shift towards multiple reserve currencies could lead to a more multipolar global financial system, altering international economic dynamics.
The Superpowers rule the world
Turkey, Iran and Germany are not Superpowers, their policies revolve around America’s foreign policy.
Khomeini was brought in by the CIA to overthrow the Shah and create a larger divide between Sunni and Shia.
What Iran did in Syria and Iraq is clearly aligned with American foreign policy.
What Turkey is doing in Syria must also be aligned with American foreign policy.
Israel is not backing the rebels.
Americans are backing the rebels, and America will secure Israel’s interest.
America will not allow Israel to expand further.
The world is running on Bully Politics. It’s all a stage, controlled by America.
People are emotional. They want the world to be what they want it to be, they don’t want the truth.
Iran is under the thumb of America, not because they love America, but they are forced to submit their power.
Syria was living under the thumb of Israel.
Yes, there was a war between Iran and Iraq and between Iran and the Syrian people.
There has never been a real war between Iran and Israel.
Islam is a system of justice.
Unity is the only way forward.
We need a government that is willing to concede temporary gains for a long term victory.
Non-Muslim tankies are deluded. The world is not that binary.
There isn’t some pro-American camp and some Anti-Imperialist camp.
There are countless examples in history, where things were more fluid and pragmatic in terms of how civilizations emerged.
Political Left that wants to see the world through an analytical lens that does not see the reality. A materialistic, minority focussed view.
Don’t assume anything about yourself, people and the world. Listen to the world. It will tell you the truth.
They tell us something, and do something else.
What is their policy vs what do they want us to think is their policy?
Radical left is just as extreme and the radical rights. The radical left runs all the institutions.
The Oligarchs
For decades, Americans have been reluctant to label the billionaires bankrolling electoral campaigns as oligarchs. The term, it seemed, was better suited to Russia, conjuring up images of shadowy figures using corruption and criminality to build and protect commercial empires.
The 10000 institutions are the oligarchs that collectively set the agenda. The educational, corporate institutions.
It’s a matter of basic justice to control these 10000 institutions.
Democratic forces is to control the terms of our public life. To control the shape of our shared public life, is to control the institutions.
They say “Governmental control should be minimized at all costs.” That doesn’t help the cause of liberty. It hurts the cause of liberty.
Berkley gives people their membership card amongst the ruling class. They give us the glasses through which we can see around us.
Sanctity of individual rights, does not mean that we are immune from public control.
By intervening in these institutions, we can preserve individuals rights.
Universities and Businesses are very intertwined with government
The answer to tyranny is democracy, not smaller government.
Hubris, denial, and prejudice have a way of clouding judgment.
The elite are guilty, so they have to compensate by talking about morality. Their problem is when their children call them out.
The separation of public property (natural resources) from government property (no nationalization) from private property (no privatization) ensures no corruption in the public sector. The law must ensure the separation of representatives from canvassing for support from the public, but rather just presenting there principles and goals in an equal fashion, then no marketing nor election campaigns are required.
And the asset tax (zakaat) instead of the income tax (corporate friendly).
No one likes nuance these days, then you are labelled. Talking about politics and Syria, things are very murky, and grey areas.
When it comes to Islam, most things are black and white. Very different to politics.
Propelling their civilization. and putting themselves at the forefront.
Principle of proportionate use of power, Principle of distinction – Non-existent in Israeli Law.
Do we trust Turkey? Do we trust countries? No. We trust governments and leaders. All nation states are selfish, and don’t care about their neighbours.

Iran
Iran’s presence in Syria did not prevent a big genocide in Gaza.
UN’s Agenda 2030
UN’s Agenda 2030 is all about control. Leaders lacking empathy reduce humanity to a mere dataset which can be monitored.
The outcome is a rich getting richer, poor getting a bit more, middle class getting colder, poorer and more enslaved.
Human beings are commodities which can be monetized.
There is a false assumption that their is consensus on climate change.
The race is on to save the world, and also to line the pockets of the small group of experts driving this agenda.
This powerful technocracy might promote efficiency, cleaner seas, toilets in remove African villages, but as per their literature, the stuff that really excites them is not the expensive projects, it is the profitable stuff, the solar farms, the wind turbines, it is surveillance on the streets, it is the trans ideology.
Responsible technology.
Must freedom of religion be promoted ?
Legalized bribery is the basis of our political system.
Politically correct textbooks and ideas will not change the political system.
Distribution of wealth is not determined by effort or merit, but be power relations.
The rules of the economic game are set by those who control the world.
Focus on markets grows the gap. Focus on distribution, lessens the gap.
