Below are suggestions of books that I think every Muslim should read
“The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy” by Mearsheimer & Walt. It maps exactly how policy gets shaped. Not written by Muslims but that’s almost the point it’s an insider critique.
“Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” by John Perkins shows the mechanism of how the West dismantles and controls nations. Very applicable to Muslim-majority states.
“A Peace to End All Peace” by David Fromkin. It documents how Britain and France literally drew the lines, manufactured the states, and engineered the collapse. Every Muslim should read this.
Ibn Taymiyyah’s “Al-Siyasa al-Shar’iyya” (Islamic Governance) is essential he wrote it during the Mongol crisis, a civilization under existential threat. The parallels to today are striking.
Malik Bennabi an Algerian thinker almost nobody reads in the West. His concept of “colonisability” the idea that colonization requires internal weakness first is arguably more useful than anything written today.
If I had to pick ONE book for a Muslim wanting all three dimensions simultaneously: political, geopolitical, and with a civilizational Islamic consciousness:
“Islam and the West” by Bernard Lewis but read it as the enemy’s manual, not as scholarship. Lewis literally shaped U.S. and Israeli policy toward the Muslim world for 50 years. Reading it tells you exactly how they think, what they fear, and what they’re trying to prevent
