This week on the thinking muslim we ask How did the Prophet (PBUH) navigate two superpowers and the fractured tribes of Arabia - and what does that teach us about power today? What is power really about? And what is it not?

In this episode with Wadah Khanfar, we explore the geopolitics and strategy of Prophetic leadership. We unpack what power truly means in Islam - not domination or ego, but justice, restraint, strategic astuteness, and removing barriers to truth for human flourishing.
