Summary

Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi embarks on a meaningful, necessary,enthralling and enlightening journey to acquaint us with the occurrences a hundred years ago that preceded the beginning of the modern Muslim world. The year of 1914 was a landmark year of sorts in terms of abolishment of the Islamic Caliphate and the division of Muslim lands into the modern countries of the Middle East that we are well aware of. This happened primarily due to a series of catastrophic political and social changes in the world. As a lesson that we as Muslims need to imbibe and inculcate , is that we need to learn from our past mistakes that happened in those 100 years and make genuine efforts to refrain from repeating them. The deceit, betrayal and treachery of European powers and also by the local Muslim leaders of the time should teach us to get our act straight before it is too late.

1:06.0	suffered a lot of calamities and not as politically strong as it had once been,
1:10.7	nonetheless still had a unified caliphate. And despite the advent of
1:15.8	colonialism, the Brits had invaded, the Germans had invaded, the French had
1:19.1	invaded, despite all of the colonialism, still there was a sense of a global umma and there was still some light at the end of the tunnel there was still a ray of hope
1:29.2	all of this was going to change in 1914 onwards.
