Some fatwas are framed as “strategy,” but this one touches your ibadah: where your Zakah goes.

Why are voices now telling you it can fund politicians?

In an age of elections, lobbying, and nonstop fundraising, this talk challenges the claim that Fi Sabilillah can be stretched to bankroll politicians “to prevent harm.”

With Ramadan at the door and billions at stake, the speaker warns and clarifies the confusion of the fatwa and provides a solid pathway to a comprehensive solution.

Are the Ulema Leading or Hiding?

When scholars use knowledge as a shield for rulers instead of a light for people, what happens to the Ummah? When staying quiet becomes betrayal, who breaks the silence?

Join the speaker as he explores the reality the danger of silenced scholars, and the heavy responsibility of commanding good and forbidding evil.

We live in an time where fearfulness wears the mask of wisdom, and silence is called patience.

This powerful discussion confronts the crippling inaction of those who claim to stand for truth while watching injustice flourish. If you’ve ever felt the tension between playing safe and speaking up, this talk delivers the ideological wake-up call you need.

Truth has a cost. So does staying quiet.

Beyond Slogans: The Essence of Islamic Unity Ustadh Haitham, in the first speech, “Beyond Slogans: The Essence of Islamic Unity,” highlighted that while the Ummah remains deeply united in grief, compassion, and concern over crises such as Gaza, Sudan, and Kashmir, it remains fragmented in action due to the absence of unified leadership and an overarching political structure. He emphasized that authentic Islamic unity is built upon discipline, coordination, and governance rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah. He further explained that unity in Islam is not uniformity, but rather a unity of purpose and accountability, achievable only through restored leadership and collective responsibility that enables the Ummah to protect its people, uphold justice, and fulfill its role as witnesses over humanity.

The Caliphate: Reimagining Leadership

Dr. Abu Talha, in the final and keynote address, “The Caliphate: Reimagining Leadership,” discussed themes from his latest book, The Middle East Paradigm. He presented a comprehensive analysis of the persistent conflicts across the Muslim world, outlining what he described as the U.S.-led “4+2” paradigm, which he argued sustains managed instability through regional elites and selective alliances to preserve external dominance. He explained how power is maintained without legitimacy, perpetuating fragmentation and dependency. In contrast, Dr. Abu Talha presented the “1+0” model as a legitimate and unified alternative rooted in Islamic leadership, concluding with a call for Muslims to move beyond reforming the existing order and toward replacing it with a system capable of restoring sovereignty and long-term stability.

From Fragmentation to Strength: Building an Integrated Islamic Bloc

Ustadh Zaki, in the second speech, “From Fragmentation to Strength: Building an Integrated Islamic Bloc,” explained that poverty in the Muslim world persists not because of a lack of resources, but due to political fragmentation, external economic control, and man-made systems that obstruct fair distribution of wealth. He highlighted the strategic significance of Muslim lands in global energy, agriculture, minerals, and trade, illustrating that division has turned abundance into dependency. Drawing on Islamic principles of justice and public ownership, he called for economic and political unity under Islamic governance, asserting that only an Islamic system can restore sovereignty, ensure equitable distribution of wealth, and protect the Ummah from exploitation.
