00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			In the complex world that we are living
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05 
			in today, Muslims have a lot of questions.
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07 
			And one of the questions that's coming from
00:00:07 --> 00:00:10 
			the youth and the general body is, where
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11 
			are the scholars?
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13 
			With all the chaos that is happening in
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17 
			the Muslim world, with the need for Islamic
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21 
			solutions to the real problems, this is a
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22 
			very important idea.
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26 
			This course, Minarets and Thrones, will look at
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30 
			relationship of the scholars and the rulers from
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 
			early times of Islam.
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33 
			And we will see that when the scholars
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36 
			were in line with the rulers, that Islam
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37 
			rose.
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41 
			When the scholars were against the rulers in
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44 
			a negative way, or when they submitted to
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46 
			oppression, then Islam went down.
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48 
			How can we reach the balance?
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 
			How can we have that type of middle
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 
			road Islamic thought that would give us a
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 
			bright future in this chaotic world today?
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 
			This is our course, Minarets and Thrones.
