A New Hope - Polybius and the Crown Prince

This chapter marks a year since this podcast publicly released its first episode. It truly has been a journey of discovery and I, Abdallah Dutton, would like to personally thank everyone that has tuned in and supported me on this project. 

This episode is a statement to understand the time we live in. It draws on my understanding of the work of the ancient Greek historian Polybius and what he outlined as the cyclical nature of political systems throughout time. It concludes that as an Ummah we look towards the Crown Prince HRH Prince Muhammad bin Salman Al Saud as a new hope for guidance and protection in this time of rapid change. 

Be patient, it is not what you have been taught. 

 

Dedicated to my Teacher and Master Shaykh Dr Abdalqadir as-Sufi (rahimullah) and his inheritors the Fuqara.
