Has the Muslim Mind Been Colonised by the West? | Dr Nazir Khan

Help us expand our Muslim media project here: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membership Donate to our charity partner Baitulmaal here: http://btml.us/thinkingmuslim Dr Nazir Khan joins The Thinking Muslim to discuss **Islamic worldview, secularism, liberalism, colonialism and the modern Muslim mind**. In this episode, we explore how modern ideologies can shape the way Muslims understand Islam, freedom, morality and society, and why political colonialism may have ended while intellectual colonialism remains. Dr Nazir explains what it means for Muslims to “self-secularise”, how liberal ideas of freedom differ from an Islamic understanding of freedom, and why desire, consumerism and individualism can become powerful forces shaping our worldview. We also discuss how the Qur’an, particularly **Surah Al-Fatiha**, can provide Muslims with a framework for understanding truth, ethics and the world around them. This is a wide-ranging conversation on **Islam and secularism, Islam and liberalism, decolonising the Muslim mind, Islamic philosophy, Muslim identity, Qur’anic worldview and modern ideology**.
