What is the Khilafah? Why is it important? Who wants it? Is it practical?
In this episode I sit down with Dr. Anjum, the Imam Khattab Endowed Chair of Islamic Studies at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of Toledo, to discuss his views on the concept of a unified Muslim polity, it's various conceptions around the Muslim world and the work that needs to be done in order to get there.
You can check out more of Dr. Anjum's work on the website or twitter page of the Ummatics Colloquium.
Our guest designated charity for the episode is also Ummatics Colloquium. Listeners can donate to the colloquium here!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
