American Democracy & Other Bedtime Stories

﷽

Welcome to Episode Twelve of the Middle Ground Podcast. In this episode brother Dawud Aleman (GBLevate) and myself discuss politics again but drill down a little deeper and interrogate our understanding and estimation of the utility of politics and where might we go from here? As usual, we discuss all topics in light of the Qur’ān and statements from the Prophet, ‎ﷺ.
