What does Islam truly say about tyranny? And how can Muslims resist the rise of authoritarianism in a world increasingly ruled by fear, force, and falsehood?

Against the Iron Fist is a bold and timely exploration of how Islam stands in radical opposition to fascism, dictatorship, and the abuse of power. In this groundbreaking work, Muhammad Abdelwahid uncovers the spiritual, moral, and political tools embedded in the Qur’an and Sunnah that empower believers to confront oppression—not just endure it.

Far from being a religion of submission to worldly rulers, Islam emerges here as a transformative force: a faith that topples idols, challenges injustice, and uplifts the oppressed. From the earliest days of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ defying the tribal elite of Quraysh to modern struggles against colonialism, military regimes, and ideological extremism, this book traces the Islamic tradition of resistance across time and geography.

Inside you’ll discover:

• Why fascism thrives on shirk (associating others with God) and how tawheed dismantles authoritarian ideologies

• The prophetic model of resistance—rooted in moral clarity, justice, and non-compromise

• A critical look at how modern Muslim-majority governments betray Islamic values in the name of order and control

• The role of the ummah in resisting digital surveillance, nationalism, and political co-optation

• How Islamic principles challenge the cult of personality, racism, and the worship of the state

Whether you are a scholar, student, activist, or seeker, Against the Iron Fist offers a powerful roadmap for confronting tyranny with faith, courage, and unwavering commitment to divine justice.

This is not just a political book. It is a spiritual intervention.
Because silence in the face of injustice is not neutrality—it is complicity. And Islam teaches us to stand, speak, and strive… even if the world is silent.
