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.
