Why Muslims must become a superpower

What happens when power is no longer restrained by morality? In Part 2 of this OnGuard conversation, Dr Hamza Andreas Tzortzis continues his discussion with Shaykh Dr Haitham al-Haddad on akhlāq, civilisation and the relationship between moral character and power. They explore why Allah must remain the ultimate authority for right and wrong, and why human desire, culture and limited reason cannot provide a stable moral foundation on their own. The conversation then turns to the rise and decline of nations. What happens when greed, arrogance, ribā, family breakdown and the pursuit of power become embedded within a society? Why do powerful countries so often begin to resemble the very forces they once claimed to oppose? Shaykh Haitham also explains why Muslims should aspire to civilisational strength—not for domination or oppression, but to protect justice, resist tyranny and prevent the weak from being exploited by those with greater power. Drawing upon the Qur’an, the Prophetic mission and examples from Islamic history, this episode presents akhlāq not merely as good personal manners, but as the moral foundation upon which families, communities and entire civilisations must be built.
