Yaghoubian is Professor of Modern west Asian and Islamic History at California State University-San Bernardino and author of "Ethnicity, Identity, and the Development of Nationalism in Iran" (Syracuse, 2014) and co-editor of "Struggle and Survival in the Modern Middle East" (3rd edition forthcoming).  Please subscribe, share, and support this channel: https://adnanahusain.substack.com/ https://www.patreon.com/adnanhusain https://www.adnanhusain.org/

Al Aqsa is the first Qibla, prayer direction, of Islam. It is regarded by Muslims as one of the three sacred Mosques, and its surroundings Bayt al Maqdis has been blessed by Allah in the Quran. The hadith talk of the blessed one who prays in all three of the Masjids, something alhamdulillah I have managed to do. But this mosque, its precincts and the entirety of Palestine is today under threat by a foreign settler force that is hellbent on eradicating its history. My guest today argues that there is an urgency now in time to save this mosque, as the Zionist project comes to fruition and he calls for an intellectual reawakening of the ummah.

He discusses challenges in terms of preservation and conservation, such as preventing human misuse and regulating human activity in relation to historical manuscripts and other documentation, while sharing anecdotes of successful projects that illuminate the relationships that can be built through these efforts.

This wonderful, clear, concise, logical and objectively accurate - characteristics not shared by Jew Hating Hamas Fangirls in the West - letter from a Professor of Islamic History, Arabic and Persian was recently republished on Substack's Voice of the Shofar account: An Incredible Letter from a non-Jewish Scottish Professor to his Students Who Voted to Boycott Israel (substack.com) It is sadly as timely now as it was when he wrote it in 2011 in response to one more pack of Western idiots babbling about the lie of "apartheid in Israel." Have a listen. If you still believe the lies about Israel, go do your own research, as the good Professor suggests. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/messytimes/support

How do we learn from the wisdom of others in a world intent on ruthless autonomy? Today, with the Gaza war as our backdrop, we ask Dr Yakoob Ahmed what pieces of advice he would give to his 18-year-old self. Dr Yakoob Ahmed is an academic specialising in late Ottoman history.

A conversation with Christian Sahner (University of Oxford) about the notion of Islamic history as a field of study. What does it prioritize, who does it tend to see most, and what about everyone else? No field-name is perfect; they all have advantages and disadvantages, and we need to be clear-eyed about them. The conversation is based on Christian's recent article 'What is Islamic History? Muslims, Non-Muslims and the History of Everyone Else,' The English Historical Review 138 (2023) 379-409.

Eve Harow speaks with Zeev Maghen, Professor of Arabic and Islamic History and Chairman of the Department of Middle East Studies at Bar-Ilan University, on the current war on Hamas. Israel was established to ensure the survival and prosperity of the Jewish people. Anyone who interferes with that is to be prevented, at all costs, from fulfilling their nefarious goals. Full stop. No apologies. It's the basic right of any people including Jews, despite the world's latent anti-Semitism, now come to the fore. Fluent in Arabic, Farsi, English, Hebrew, Russian and Yiddish, Maghen is an expert as few are on what ideology our enemies are inculcated with and how determined they are to actualize their beliefs. We will win. There's no choice.

After finishing our extensive exploration into some of the most colourful and fascinating characters in Islamic History - figures who influenced modern Salafi jihadism as we know it today - Conflicted aims its sights on a modern group with an equally significant position in the Muslim world. This is a group whose nebulous, clandestine structure makes them tricky to unravel. A group based in Egypt but with tentacles across the Middle East and beyond. A group who once boasted our previous subject, Sayyid Qutb, as a member. The Muslim Brotherhood. But who are they really? How are they structured? And are they the radical Islamists that many claim, or in fact a moderate group with relatively modest aims? In this first of two episodes on the Muslim Brotherhood, we try to unlock their structure, discovering how they function in countries across the Muslim world, to answer these questions and more.
