  • What We’re Watching - 1 June 2026

    This week on Geopolity’s What We’re Watching, our analysts examine three developments that could have significant geopolitical consequences in the months and years ahead.

    Iran Rejects Trump’s Terms

    Despite repeated claims from Washington that a nuclear agreement is close, Tehran has pushed back, insisting that no final deal has been reached. We examine the ongoing standoff, Iran’s demands for sanctions relief, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and what the failure of the US-Israel pressure campaign means for the balance of power in the Middle East.

    Israel Continues to Seize Gaza

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced plans to expand Israeli control over Gaza from 60% to 70% of the territory. We break down what this means for the ceasefire agreement, Israel’s long-term objectives, Palestinian displacement, and the broader implications for regional stability.

    Japan’s Population Drops by 3 Million

    Japan’s demographic crisis continues to deepen. With a shrinking workforce, rapidly aging population, and one of the world’s lowest birth rates, we explore why Japan’s population decline matters not only for Tokyo, but for the future of the global economy and the international balance of power.

    What We're Watching is Geopolity’s weekly roundup of the geopolitical stories our analysts believe deserve closer attention.

  • Quran Tafseer In Tafseer of Sūrah Qāf 50:37–45

    What happens when tyrants mock the truth while Allah says: “We know what they say".

    In the ending of Surah Qāf, their lies become the doorway to a greater reality: life, death, resurrection, and the final return.

    The lesson is clear: do not be shaken by their words — persist with the Qur’an before the Day no one can escape.

  • When the Path to Hajj Is Blocked

    Why has Hajj become harder while the Ummah is told to remain silent?

    When access to the House of Allah becomes tied to money, permission, power, and political loyalty, something far deeper has gone wrong.

    Is the path to Allah’s House truly open — or has it been surrounded by wealth, borders, politics, and control?

    The Sheik confronts the uncomfortable reality behind our sacred obligation and the solution.

  • Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal’s Trial Sheikh Muhammed Shirazi

    The Mihna refers to an event during the rule of the Abbasid Caliphate where ulema were pressured to accept the Mu'tazali view of the Qur'an as being created, rather than the mainstream position of it being the Word of Allah.

    Sheikh Muhammed Shirazi recounts Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal's stand against this oppression and the importance of standing for the truth.
