In Episode 5—based on Chapter 5 of Islam in the Contemporary World: A New Narrative by Zafarullah Khan—we face the sobering realities of the Muslim world’s current state. Once the torchbearers of knowledge and innovation, many Muslim societies now struggle with low literacy, underfunded education systems, political repression, and scientific stagnation. Khan calls this moment the “lowest ebb of broken pride,” urging a deep self-examination of how misinterpretations of Islam and deviation from its foundational principles have led to this decline. This episode is both a critique and a clarion call for self-reform, grounded in truth, justice, and knowledge.
