			paradigms of leadership is a
series of lectures featuring
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			myself recorded here at the
Cambridge Muslim college to some
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08
			of our
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:16
			beloved supporters and students in
which I revisit. For many of them.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:21
			It's a visit, for the first time
some of the extraordinary
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			biographies of certain of the
amazing heroes personalities,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:30
			scholars, Alia of this Alma, from
the beginning, some of the Sahaba
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35
			down to modern times, the idea
seems to be that people are
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:41
			attracted to the personification
of ideals. They want to see real
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:46
			human role models, heroes,
champions, inspirational figures,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:53
			with extraordinary lives, who they
can not only be amazed by, and who
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			helped them to feel embedded in
and proud of the membership of the
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			glorious
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:06
			caravan of Muslim history, but
also show virtues, values, forms
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11
			of courage, and wisdom that are
universal so that these are
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			individuals, men and women who
have things to tell us in our
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:19
			situation at this rather extreme
and disturbed point of world
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			history. So we look at an
extraordinarily broad range of
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			people. So Kane had been tell
Hussein's beloved daughter of
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			Emmanuel Hussein, the great
protests and amazing heroic woman
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:36
			in her own right. We look at the
third Khalifa Othman Ibn often, we
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:41
			look at Imam Shamil, the great
hero of the Dotty Stanny, Caucasus
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:46
			Muslim resistance to the Russian
invasion in the 19th century and
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			plenty of others. And we found
that this formula really holds
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			people's attention because it's
wonderful for us to realize how
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			those people in some cases lived
so long ago, but their lives can
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:00
			still change our lives today,
these recordings to which we're
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:05
			constantly adding, but there's
over 20 already are available on
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			the website of the Cambridge
Muslim college and on our online
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			learning platform.
