Canadian Islamic Scholar Abu Ibrahim: Gen Z Muslims Are Not Shy About Shari'a Law, Their Eyes Light Up When I Talk About Establishing A Caliphate;
We Must Finish The Work Started By The Muslim Brotherhood; Podcast Host Muhammad Shirazi Laments: Bookstores No Longer Carry The Works Of
Muslim Brotherhood Ideologue Sayyid Qutb
Canadian Islamic scholar Ustadh Abu Ibrahim, an instructor at the i3 Institute, said in an August 10, 2025 episode ofthe Islamic Oasis
podcast that Gen Z Muslims are not shy about shari'a law and that their "eyes light up" when he speaks to them about establishing a
caliphate.
He said that people are increasingly open to the idea that Islam opposes liberalism and democracy, and that Gen Z Muslims are
receptive to Islamic political thought. He added that Islamic preachers should "stoke the imagination" of Muslims and approach preaching
as a form ofpolitical activism aimed at establishing an Islamic state.
Podcast host Muhammad Shirazi lamented that bookstores no longer carry the types of Islamic literature available prior to 9/11, when
figures such as Sayyid Qutb and Abdullah Azzam were widely known. He recalled that after 9/11, some mosques removed videos of past
sermons delivered by certain preachers. Abu Ibrahim discussed the work of Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Hizb
ut-Tahrir, saying that a century ofwork has been done by these groups and that modern organizations should take the Islamic nation as a
"serious project." He added: "We need to seriously undertake the finishing ofthe work."
Abu Ibrahim: "So one thing that's nice about Gen Z is that we see a kind of resurgence of a more - I don't know what the best
word for it is - like, Orthodox, traditional… I don't want to use confusing terminology, but we're not shy about the fact that hijab is
fard [obligatory]. You know, we're not shy about the shari'a.
