• Names of God (7): al-Malik, "The King" 04.07.2026 1h 8m

  In this 7th episode of the Names of God series, Adnan and Marc reflect on al-Malik, the King or Owner, another name or attribute that raises the questions of lordship and servanthood in their intimate, non-dualistic interrelationship and the language of hierarchy in the context of spiritual development and psychological health for humans. Because al-Tlimsani discusses the appearance of al-Malik in the context of its Qur'anic appearance in the opening surah, al-fatiha, as "Master of the Day of Judgment," we discussed the eschatological meanings of the "afterlife" from an experiential understanding in juxtaposition to conventional understandings in Islamicate (and broadly monotheistic) theology. al-Ghazali's definition of "kingship" as being free from need opens up ways of understanding spiritual self-sufficiency or sovereignty in our daily life as a practical absorption of this name spiritually. In a wide ranging conversation about different dimensions of al-Malik, we explore the spiritual, the metaphysical, the political, and the social in contemporary life from both conceptual and experiential approaches for what it means to be human.

• MOUharram in Iran-Critical Dissent, Spiritual Solidarity w/Ehsan Safarnejad 24.06.2026 1h 21m

  In this fourth episode in the series Muharram for Anti-Imperialists: The Karbala Paradigm, Adnan speaks with geopolitical analyst Ehsan Safarnejad about his critical analysis of the "Islamabad" Memorandum of Understanding, the politics of Iran's engagement in the diplomatic negotiations vs. its military responses, and the special political/spiritual solidarity of Iran's street demonstrations and the meaning of Karbala for today's resistance to the Epstein Empire.

• Why History Matters w/Yakoob Ahmed 22.06.2026 1h 32m

  his episode could equally be titled "ReOrienting History Islamically". Adnan is joined by historian of late Ottoman history and author of Why History Matters: Reviving Faith Through the Lens of History to talk about Eurocentric historiography and historical consciousness and whether Islamicate history provides alternatives and how global or world history might benefit from a reorientation. This is a crucial question not only for Muslims or scholars of history. It is evident that this history is understood principally through orientalist assumptions and frameworks that propose "western modernity" as the only standard for envisioning sovereign futures. As a result, rethinking and reorienting history is of universal concern and interest for understanding the human and envisioning a future beyond the hegemony of Western imperialist racial capitalism. What can studying not only Islamicate history but history "islamically" contribute to envisioning a just, equitable future for humanity? We'll ask Dr. Yakoob Ahmed and discuss the issues with you, so post your comments and questions!

• World Cup 2026: Geopolitics and the Beautiful Game 11.06.2026 1h 56m

  This Guerrilla History series previewing and analyzing the major international football (soccer) tournaments on and off the pitch continues with the disastrous US/Canada/Mexico hosted World Cup 2026. Amid war on Iran, anti-immigrant ICE terror gangs, dismal initial attendance numbers and astronomical costs, this world cup looks to be one of the worst in history. No wonder there have been calls to boycott it and the US. A terrific global panel joins Guerrilla History hosts Adnan and Henry to discuss the geopolitics of the once beautiful game and review the myriad ways this world cup violates the spirit of sport. Gazan journalist Abubaker Abed , Resistance is Fertile podcast co-host Indi.ca, and returning panelist and great friend of both Guerrilla History and the Adnan Husain Show Latin American historian Alex Aviña will break this down.

• The Names of God (6): al-Rabb, "the Lord and Nourisher" 09.06.2026 1h 12m

  Adnan and Marc explore the name al-Rabb, which is usually translated at "The Lord" but with elements of educative and nourishing dimensions. Some even translate the name as "Nourisher". Although this is not one of the 99 names listed in typical devotional traditions, this self-description or name appears early in the Qur'an in its opening chapter, Surah Fatiha, in the verse "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds." Al-Tilimsani discusses it, so Marc and I reflected on the themes of Lordship and Servanthood in the psychological and experiential schemes of Sufi understanding of this name as well as our own reflections. As ever, we try to orient our discussion not only around examining the meanings but also the mechanisms of the names for spiritual and psychological development and activation. Also as usual, we find social value as well in the effort to explore the Names in contemporary times. Join us!

• The Violent Demise of Monetary Supremacy w/Radhika Desai 24.05.2026 1h

  Full Audio of YouTube Livestream!!!! Adnan and Benji in this collaboration with Resistance is Fertile podcast continue their conversation with Radhika Desai about the latest developments in geopolitical economy. We discuss the consequences of Iran's restriction of commercial trade through the Strait of Hormuz for dollar hegemony and more broadly on the global economy. We'll learn about swap lines and the UAE and other gulf economic vulnerabilities. Perhaps we will also assess the view that China is the key target of the Iran War and the theory that global energy control has been the main strategic goal of US interests. Ahead of the Trump-Xi summit it will be useful to examine and understand China's position during the imperialist war in West Asia. Post your questions in case we have time to get to them too!

• Myths about Islamic Resistance History in Palestine w/Mujamma Haraket 10.05.2026 1h 33m

  As part of this channel's effort to explore the theme of religion and resistance and to understand the Islamic resistance confronting US-Israeli empire, Adna speaks with scholar, translator, and historian of Islamic political movements, Mujamma Haraket. We explore the emergence of the Islamic Resistance in Palestine and its roots in anticolonial era and Muslim Brotherhood organizing in previous decades. In particular, Mujamma dispells myths and exposes their particular use to discredit Hamas by examining the source of contentions that Israel created or supported its "as a counterweight" to the secular nationalist PLO movement. This revealing and illuminating historical analysis based on careful assessment of the evidence and documentation. We also discuss the use of collaborationist gangs in Gaza and their Salafist or more properly "Madkhalist" Islamist orientations meant to undermine the resistance. A fascinating and learned discussion with an expert scholar.

• Still Minab: Iran's Martyrs and Sovereign Truth w/Helyeh Doutaghi and Bikrum Gill 06.05.2026 1h 30m

  Helyeh Doutaghi from Tehran and Bikrum Gill join me to discuss the haunting and powerful series "Still Minab" and its first two episodes. Helyeh's documentary absorbs the first part of our discussion about narrating and expressing the truth outside of the colonial and imperial framework. Then Adnan and Bikrum reflect on the wider significance of Iran's defiant position against the imperialist world system, revolutionary Shi'i theology and Islam as a vanguard of anti-imperialist resistance, and the fundamental question of sovereignty. We look forward to another episode soon with stable internet to further develop the themes of the scholarly article Helyeh and Bikrum are writing for Middle East Critique on these issues of Iran's place in anti-imperialist resistance history, theory and practice.

• The Qur'an as Geopolitics w/Indi.ca 28.04.2026 1h 30m

  In this era, the most active forces combating colonialism and imperialism are the "Axis of Resistance" in West Asia. Since October 7th, many have been either inspired or puzzled by the incomparable endurance of the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance to invasion, occupation, and genocidal violence. In both cases religious faith in Islam has proven of incalculable value to them as well as to resistance in Yemen, Lebanon, and Iran. Adnan speaks with writer, blogger and co-host of Resistance is Fertile Podcast, Indi (at Indi.ca) about his study of the Qur'an, Muslim scripture, as a way of understanding the Islamic resistance and current events. Although not a Muslim, he frequently cites the Qur'an in his own anti-imperialist writings and analysis as a source for understanding. We explore together the Qur'an as geopolitical analysis on the topics of war, peace, negotiations, and steadfastness against oppression.

• A Call for Revolutionary Intellectual Alignment w/Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah 19.04.2026 1h 45m

  Full Audio of YT Livestream: This livestream collaboration with Lara Sheehi and Psychic Militancy discusses an important document "Toward a Revolutionary Charter for Comprehensive Liberation" released recently that takes an adamant and uncompromising critique of contemporary Arab intelligentsias and calls for a radical realignment against colonial knowledges and with the masses. This is a critical juncture in West Asia; the convulsions of the Gaza genocide, the war on Iran, and the reshaping of its political boundaries, economies and societies in violent colonial war and resistance demand that all social groupings and classes address themselves to revolutionary anticolonial struggle. Lara and I speak with one of the authors of this radical manifesto, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, the famous Palestinian surgeon, academic, activist, and Rector of Glasgow University in Scotland. We'll take up the questions of why "pessimism of the intellect" has not been accompanied by "optimist of the will" among the intellectual classes, the manifestations of "defeatist" and comprador thought, and how to revive the courageous role of intellectuals organically in the people's struggle as a resource for liberation. Centered on the question of Palestine but addressed to the wider Arab peoples confronting Zionism, colonialism, and imperialism, the conversation will explore the document's six key principles and concepts like rooted knowledge, intellectual sovereignty, democratizing knowledge and how ideology can be turned into a material force for liberation. This was a fascinating discussion! Join us.

  In this collaborative livestream with Resistance is Fertile's Benji Schoendorff, we continue a discussion with Dr. Radhika Desai who brings "geopolitical economic" analysis to the contemporary world system and in particular how global events, especially the Ramadan War, herald an end to Western imperialism as a form of world order.

• Iran at War: Sovereignty against Empire Helyeh Doutaghi 31.03.2026 1h 7m

  Adnan speaks with anti-imperialist legal scholar and journalist Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Tehran and contributer to Vocal Politics, about life in Iran during the Ramadan War, revolutionary Shi'i populism that has been galvanized nightly in the streets, forms of social solidarity and social order in response to US-Israeli civilian attacks, and the centrality of Palestine and the decolonization of the region. A fascinating discussion with Helyeh's first hand observations and thoroughly insightful analysis. This is illuminating and inspiring! A must for anyone seeking to understand Iranian society during this war and its broader regional and global consequences. You cannot find such perspectives many places, so do check out this discussion.
