Description
From Creation to Civilization. From Empire to Nation. From History to Accountability.
As the World Turns is a sweeping spiritual and historical reflection on the rise and fall of civilizations — and the enduring principles that shape human destiny.
Beginning with the creation of humanity, Shewu Abdulkhadir Akorede traces the divine patterns woven throughout history: the stories of Adam, Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Dawud, ʿIsa, and the final Messenger Muhammad ﷺ. Through Qur’anic revelation and Biblical references, this book explores how faith, justice, knowledge, and moral responsibility determine the strength or decline of nations.
From ancient empires to the Golden Age of Islamic civilization, from colonial disruption to modern global uncertainty, As the World Turns examines the recurring cycles of power, arrogance, reform, and renewal.
In its powerful concluding chapters, the book turns its focus toward Africa — and Nigeria in particular — offering thoughtful analysis and practical guidance for moral governance, education, leadership, and national transformation.
This is not merely a history book.
It is a call to reflection.
It asks urgent questions:
- Why do civilizations rise?
- Why do they collapse?
- Can faith and modernity coexist?
- Where is Nigeria — and the world — headed next?
Blending spiritual insight, historical awareness, and practical wisdom, As the World Turns invites readers to reconsider the meaning of progress, power, and ultimate success.
Because while the world continues to turn,
accountability remains eternal.
