In this conversation at the GPU Festival in London, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan joins Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Shah to highlight the critical need for Muslims to understand Islamic history. Ustadh Nouman explains that without a clear grasp of our history, we risk forming a distorted view of our identity, present challenges, and future direction.
He draws comparisons to other faith traditions, such as how Judaism evolved into an ethnocentric religion, with a belief in being the “chosen people,” and how Christianity, under Roman influence, transformed from a unitarian faith into one defined by the trinity, shifting the focus from Jesus’s teachings to the church’s doctrine. Ustadh further explains how Islam emerged as a groundbreaking revolution, advocating for justice, equality, and intellectual freedom. Unlike previous civilizations, which upheld a king’s divine right, Islam established that each individual was equally accountable to uphold Shariah. He emphasizes that it was Islam that introduced the judiciary system, while Muslims were pioneers in scientific and mathematical innovations, such as algebra, algorithms, and alchemy during the Islamic Golden Age, these developments were later adopted and advanced by other civilizations.
