Towards a Grand Theory of the collapse of Societies inspired by the Quran || EP - 1 || Dr. Abdul Baqi Sharaf || Collapse Series

In the YouTube video "Towards a Grand Theory of the Collapse of Societies inspired by the Quran," Dr. Abdul Baqi discusses his interest in using the Quran as a comparative lens to analyze existing scholarly works on societal collapse, such as those by Jared Diamond and Paul Kennedy. He believes that the Quran provides valuable insights into the spiritual dimensions of societal collapse, which are often overlooked in these works. Dr. Baqi argues that the root cause of societal collapse is human disobedience to the rules of Allah and the abandonment of prophetic teachings. He plans to explore this topic further in a series of discussions, connecting the secular contents of these works with verses from the Quran. Dr. Baqi also criticizes the limitations of using complex mathematical models to predict societal collapse and emphasizes the importance of recognizing the complexity of historical events and the limitations of human understanding. He encourages scholars to collaborate and enrich contemporary knowledge by incorporating the Quran and Hadith into their research. Dr. Baqi shares the example of Ibn Jinni, who used a mathematical formula from the Quran to predict the liberation of Jerusalem from Crusader control, and emphasizes the potential of using modern tools like AI, computational power, and data analysis to unlock new knowledge from the Quran. #GrandTheory #collapseofSocieties #sociology #spirituality #humanbehavior #complexities #EnvironmentalFactors #EconomicDynamics #politicalinstability #socialcohesion #CulturalDynamics #TechnologicalImpact #ExternalPressures #ExternalPressures #FeedbackLoopsandComplexInteractions #QuranicSocietalCollapseTheory #CollapseTheoryInspired #QuranicPerspective #SocietalDeclineInquiry #QuranicScholarship #SocietalCollapseDebate #QuranicInsights #SocietalDynamics #QuranicInspiration #CollapseTheoryDevelopment #SocietalReflections
