00:00 📚 Imam Tom discusses the book "The Impossible State" by Wael B. Hallaq and its relevance to modern society.

02:12 🏛️ Modern nation-states aim to produce obedient and productive citizens through various institutions.

11:26 💡 The ideal modern citizen is characterized by submission to the state's ruling order and productivity.

15:38 📖 State education shapes modern subjects, emphasizing productivity and conformity.

21:08 🚺 The state promotes specific values, affecting women's roles and self-perception.

28:27 👪 The family's role has shifted from a moral collective to a unit of production influenced by the nation-state.

30:16 👥 The state assumes the role of the father in the family, deciding children's education, often at odds with traditional values.

33:04 🌐 Nationalism displaces other identities and becomes the primary identity in modern nation-states.

37:26 💼 Materialistic views in modern nation-states can lead to secularization.

44:10 ⚖️ Islamic subjectivity differs from modern nation-states in legislation, historical experience, and education.

49:13 🕌 Sharia unifies legality and morality.

01:10:06 🏫 Decentralized and independent education is crucial in Islamic governance.

01:21:17 💰 Islam's economy safeguards Deen (religion), life, intellect, family, and wealth.

01:25:17 🗺️ Instrumentally using the nation-state is problematic; it's imbued with Western Enlightenment values.

01:29:24 🤝 The nation-state assumes an anthropocentric perspective of sovereignty, contrary to Islamic theology.
