00:00:13 – Introduction: The decline of Muslim empires (Ottoman, Mughal, Safavid) by the 17th century. Rise of revivalist movements (e.g., Tipu Sultan, Sayyid Ahmad Shahid, Imam Shamil).

00:01:15 – Revivalist movements: Examples from Africa (Sudan’s Mahdi), Middle East (Khilafat Movement), and Asia (Taliban, Al-Qaeda). Question: Why did these fail to restore Islamic dominance?

00:02:17 – The 1,000-year Islamic rule: Divine decree or historical cycle? Reference to Quranic prophecies (e.g., “You will rule the earth for a term”, Quran 24:55) and Hadith about temporal dominance.

00:05:24 – Pre-Islamic history: Prophetic missions (Noah, Abraham) and the rise/fall of earlier Muslim nations (e.g., Bani Israel under Moses/David/Solomon). Destruction of Jerusalem (Babylonian exile, Roman conquest).

00:12:01 – Bani Ismail’s rise: Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) mission and the Quranic promise of “mulkun azim” (great kingdom, Quran 4:54). Conquests under Rashidun/Umayyad Caliphates.

00:16:49 – Caliphate’s territorial limits: Quranic parallels to Bani Israel’s “Promised Land” (e.g., Greater Syria, Persia). Prophet’s (PBUH) letters to emperors (Heraclius, Khosrow) inviting them to Islam.

00:19:18 – Peak of Islamic empire: Rapid expansion (100 years) across Asia, Africa, Europe. Comparison to Solomon’s empire (Quran 27:17-44).

00:22:08 – Decline begins: Abbasid fragmentation, Mongol destruction of Baghdad (1258 CE). Hadith on 12 Caliphs from Quraysh signaling peak-then-decline.

00:25:26 – Ottoman twilight: Ibn Khaldun’s cyclical theory (Asabiyyah) applied. Quranic principle: “We alternate these days among people” (3:140).

00:29:11 – Modern era: Post-WWI collapse (1924). Reference to Arnold Toynbee’s “Age of Faith” (1,000-year Islamic civilizational dominance).

2. Hadith of 12 Caliphs (Muslim 1821) – Quraysh’s political dominance.
