In this powerful episode, Dr. Asim Qureshi – Research Director at CAGE and author of A Virtue of Disobedience – joins us to ask a profound question: why are Muslims so afraid to rebel?From Gaza to Guantanamo, Asim explores the virtue of disobedience as a prophetic legacy, the complicity of scholars, and the crushing weight of Western states in sustaining Zionism. He reflects on political prisoners who found freedom behind bars, the silence of Muslim leaders, and the terrifying accountability awaiting us on Yawm al-Qiyamah.We cover:- Fear, dunya, and the psychology of obedience.- The failure of scholars in a livestreamed genocide.- Why Islam demands courage and political defiance.- How Zionism survives only through Western backing.- Lessons from political prisoners who lived Qur’anic ethics under torture.- What disobedience looks like for Muslims in the West today.This is a conversation about courage, complicity, and accountability before Allah.🔔 Our episodes are also on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@standforpalestineaus📲 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stand4palestineaus/00:05 – Fear, dunya & obedience06:00 – Introducing Dr. Asim Qureshi13:00 – Fear of rebellion vs prophetic courage19:00 – Obedience & capitalism26:00 – Qur’anic lessons on victory32:00 – Silence of scholars41:00 – Legal fears or political cowardice?49:00 – Gulf states & stolen wealth55:00 – Zionism’s collapse & Western burden1:05:00 – Political prisoners as the freest1:17:00 – Accountability on Yawm al-Qiyamah
