Is there still hope for a second Islamic Golden Age?

In this episode of the Rewired Podcast, we break down the real engine behind the Islamic Golden Age: not “luck,” not just translations — but a worldview that produces intellectual elevation, unity, and civilization-level progress. We unpack what the “Golden Age” actually refers to (and why that label is a Western framing), then trace how big civilizational achievements in science, technology, architecture, and power follow from something deeper: a coherent paradigm and a shared way of thinking.

We also tackle the provocative question of whether modern Western civilization counts as “intellectually elevated,” why “rational” doesn’t automatically mean “correct,” and why Islam uniquely ties proof, purpose, and revelation into a sustainable basis for progress. Finally, we confront the modern Muslim tendency to downplay material progress as a coping mechanism, and we close by laying out what really drove the decline — including why material decline always lags behind intellectual decline.

If you care about Islamic revival and want a framework for thinking about civilizational rise and fall, Rewired is for you!
