May Allah accept shaykh yasirs qadhis efforts, forego his mistakes, increase him in sincerity and continue to make him a means of unifying and benefitting this ummah. Such people are loved by Muslims across the wide spectrum of Sunni Islam.
My dear Sheikh Yasir Qhadi, almost every time I listen to you, I get emotional. I love you for the sake of Allah. You always help increase my love for the deen and for Allah. May Allah continue to bless you for your sincerity and bless your family. May Allah grant you the best of his rewards; jannatul firdaus and reunite you with all your loved ones and the best of the ummah in Jannah. You are a blessing to the ummah. May all your mistakes be forgiven by the most merciful. Ameen

What a wonderful interviewer, Dilly Hussain, and of course the interviewee Shaykh Yasir Qadhi coming with the 🔥. Ignore the haters sheikh. They think about you more than you think about your self. Talk about obsessive! Could be a mental health condition they suffer from.
When I listen to Dr Qadhi, it is because he is an Islamic historian inter alia, and I love classical history. I learn a lot from such lectures of his. This conversation was of a different kind. I patiently listened to the very end. In principle I agree with his main focus, which is the unity of Ummah above all . The world religions have undergone a serious crisis as of late, and it is naive to believe that the modernity of our times will leave Islam intact. The enormous tidal waves of changes on all fronts affect the entire planet. The confusion in people's minds, the divisions into pros and cons camps are visible everywhere. We cannot stop the movement of time, but we can talk about how to not become enemies but to find some common ground.
We are human we make errors. So no need to be guilty. Just being able to recognize some issues u may have had an oversight on is a huge success. Allah bless and guide u always. Jazakallah for your lectures always a pleasure to listen to.
Sheikh please ignore your detractors and keep doing the great work you are doing to unite the Ummah. The vast majority of the Ummah is 'traditional Muslims' like myself who, the so-called Najdi dawah is trying to alienate. And we appreciate that you saw these certain movements for what they truly are - a disuniting and dividing force accusing everyone else of Shirk and Bida.
Two opposites will never come together, this guy worked in vain for 20 years teaching his students Wahhabism now he is saying he was wrong all these years, he is still 90 % Wahhabi and he'll work another 20 years in vain trying to unite Takfiri Wahabis with the rest of Muslim Umah

Alhamdulillāh excellent interview with the Sheikh We need Ulemā like this who understand traditional Islam, history and the modern world May ALLĀH (Swt) preserve the Sheikh, reward bro Dilly and all those that are working for Deen. Āmīn
Firstly, I must thank the interviewer for his insightful and well thought out questions. As he asks the questions, I go "wow". As for Sheikh Yasir, may Allah continue to increase him in knowledge, wisdom and humility.
Subhaanallah. Sheikh know about all of these Great Muslims mentioned. Wow!!! May Allah bless these two and protect them and all of our Sheikhs and the ummah
Asalam aleikum brothers and sisters One think to take away from Sheikh Yasir is we all need to know what Islam is before going into "tangents" as the Sheikh usually says😄. I have learnt a lot of my religion from him and that is what he wants to do. Keep it coming for us Sheikh. We need knowledge and that's what you should be doing. Leave the naysayers alone. By the way I was born in an Islamic environment and yet I didn't know what I have learned from Sheikh yasir: example? The Ashara mubashara was an eye opener. Teach us teach us. Leave the politics to the politicians. JazakaAllah
May Allah bless us all with success, health, happiness, patience and strength. May all your dreams come true and may you live the life that you have always dreamed of. May Allah bless you with victory in this life and eternal life too. Amen!
What a champion! May Allah give you long life so you can keep on helping us get back on track. Where the haters at?! May Allah guide us and all these haters.
We will unite the ummah shaykh, we will work hard, if not us then our children! I am ready to help you in this, however I've got a long way to go in my study shaykh. Almost starting madrasa ! بإذن الله تعالى
Mashallah, an excellent an inspiring interview, may bless and reward the Shiekh for his hard work and efforts in trying to clarify and highlight the importance of unity amongst the Muslim Ummah.
The sad part is that other shuyookh have an agenda to “refute” Yasir Qadhi, but all he does is quote books and other scholars positions. Why are shuyookh accusing him of “modernizing” Islam? Look, you don’t agree say “I don’t agree,” but why the accusations?! I feel like a lot of shuyookh and people who’s have some Islamic books aka self taught “knowledgeable” Muslims, have it out to get him for some reason. this is misleading Muslims and blocking knowledge in my opinion.
There is a reason why Hanafis especially in Pakistan are warning people about Najdi theology/mindset. I'm just glad you are brave enough to accept the wrongs in that Najdi ideology.
@@adnanahmed9044 Doing taqlid is not polytheism Evidence from pious predecessors Imām Shams al-Din Dhahabī (673-748 AH) writes in Siyar A‘lam al-Nubalā under Ibn Hazm Zāhirī’s comment: “I follow the truth and perform ijtihād, and I do not adhere to any madh-hab”, “I say: yes. Whoever has reached the level of ijtihād and a number of imāms have attested to this regarding him, it is not allowed for him to do taqlīd, just as it is not seeming at all for the beginner layman jurist who has committed the Qur’ān to memory or a great deal of it to perform ijtihād. How is he going to perform ijtihād? What will he say? On what will he base his opinions? How can he fly when his wings have not yet grown?” (Vol.18, Pg.191) Imam Nawawi writes in Al-Majmu‘ Sharh Al-Muhadhdhab: “The second view is it is obligatory (yalzimuhu) for him to follow one particular school, and that was the definitive position according to Imam Abul-Hassan (the father of Imam al-Haramayn Al-Juwayni). And this applies to everyone who has not reached the rank of ijtihād of the jurists and scholars of other disciplines. The reasoning for this ruling is that if it was permitted to follow any school one wished it would lead to hand-picking the dispensations of the schools, following one’s desires. He would be choosing between Halal and Haram, and obligatory and permissible. Ultimately that would lead to relinquishing oneself from the burden of responsibility. This is not the same as during the first generations, for the schools that were sufficient in terms of their rulings for newer issues, were neither codified nor widespread. Thus on this basis it is obligatory for a person to strive in choosing a madh-hab which alone he follows.” (Vol.1 p.93) Imam Rajab al-Hanbali writes in his book: “Refutation of anyone who follows other than the four schools”: “…that is the Mujtahid, assuming his existence, his duty (Farduhu) is to follow what becomes apparent to him of the Truth. As for the non-Mujtahid his duty is taqlīd.” Elsewhere having indicated in the latter the rarity of the lofty status of ijtihād, he states: “As for all other people who have not reached this level (of ijtihād), it is not allowed (lā yasau‘hu) for them but to do taqlīd of these Four Imams and to submit to that which the rest of the Ummah submitted to.” (Majmoo‘ al-Rasail Ibn Rajab, vol.2 p. 626 and p.624 respectively). In one of the most authoritative juristic commentaries of the Qur’an, Al-Jami‘ li-ahkam al-Qar’an, by the scholar Imam Qurtubi, commenting on verse 7 in Sura Anbiya, he writes: “The scholars did not disagree that it is obligatory for the non-scholars (al-‘Āmah) to do taqlīd of their scholars and they are meant in the verse: Ask the people of Remembrance if you do not know. And the scholars by consensus (Ajma‘oo) stated it is necessary (lā budda) for he who is unable to see to do taqlīd of someone else who will tell him the direction of the Qiblah, if it becomes difficult for him. Similarly, one who does not possess knowledge or insight of what the Deen teaches, then it is necessary (lā budda) for him to do taqlīd of that scholar who does.” (p.181 vol.11). I even have statements from Ibn Tamiyyah RA and Ibn Qayyum RA saying taqlid for ignorant masses is obligatory. the following is just a selection of unquestionable authorities in our Deen who were known to have adhered to one Madhhab from the four; Imam Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi (Shafi) Imam Abu Jafar al-Tahavi (Hanafi) Imam Fakr al-Din al-Razi (Shafi) Imam Ibn abd al-Bar (Maliki) Imam Abu Zakariyya al-Nawawi (Shafi) Imam Abu Bakr Jassas (Hanafi) Imam Ibn Rajab (Hanbali) Imam Ibn al-Humam (Hanafi) Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi (Maliki) Imam Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani (Shafi) Imam Abu al-Abbas al-Qurtubi (Maliki) Imam Badr al-Din al-Ayni (Hanafi) Imam Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (shafi) Imam Ibn Rushd (Maliki)
A must listen!. If you have any questions/doubts about Shaykh Yasir Qadhi. He explains why he gently moved away from certain opinions and way of thinking...His earlier teachings led him to believe that their way was only correct way and to hate any groups other than his....he was made to think other ways are shirk... Because of these types of way of thinking in the 90s and early 2000s there were rift between different groups within the sunni spectrum ....Shaykh came to know people from other groups are good muslims, not doing shirk, trying to get closer to Allah etc what he was originally taught to believe ... He felt responsible to correct his teachings especially to his students. He believes the differences should be kept at academic level, it should be discussed at that level... Not by masses, not in local masajids, or islamic societies in universities. The leaders, aalim of any group shouldn't teach their "followers" to hate any other group, or spread hate... And say this is shirk or that is haram willy nilly, you can disagree but shouldn't say its haram!.Especially at grass roots we are not qualified for that. If there is any questions you should check or clarify with a person of knowledge you trust instead of going public and slandering someone as that causes fitna and harm to the ummah. The general muslim should stick to the position they trust and follow and try to be a good muslim. Some people dont even know the reason why they don't listen or agree with shaykh.. They just heard someone say he is a bit 'dodgy'... Even his refuters dont even know why they refute!??!. Subhan'Allah. Shaykh was the first in the USA to unite the salafis and sufis... He contacted Imam Zaid Shakir from Zaytuna institute and formed an alliance, now in North America the muslims are united. Especially at this time we need to be united as Muslims we are all on the sunnah. When we have outside hate, and we are being targeted for various reasons.. The world is changing rapidly with so much transgression and disobedience to the Creator, almost challenging Him, we need to have unity within and work together. Dont break away from the ummah. We should not judge anyone without knowledge and follow anyone blindly. We are struggling to pray five times a day, we should stick to correcting ourselves and learn. we should leave the discussion of differences of opinions, classical texts and fatwas of previous scholars to those who qualify to criticise, the scholars and the proper student's of knowledge. May Allah grant us true understanding, gant us pure intentions and iman ameen. ❤️
Bottom line: Why would anyone want to go to a grave, when they can go directly to Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)? وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ {And your Lord said: "Call upon Me (alone), I will respond to your (invocation). Verily! Those who scorn My worship will surely enter Hell in humiliation!"} (Sūrah Ghāfir; 40.60)

Please KEEP DHIKR of Allah 3azza wa jal, even if it is only in your heart, if praying and other rituals is difficult. DON'T YOU EVER NEVER LOOSE HOPE.

Mental health problems are treatable via medication and therapy. The brain is an organ just like every other in your body. OCD and bipolar disorders are documented diseases with various reliable and proven treatments. If you had diabetes, cancers, arthritis etc- you would go to a doctor and use medications. The same applies to your brain. Of course, increase and maintain your relationship Allah SWT through the Quran, duaa, your Salah etc. This will only ever benefit you (and really if you are concerned about Jinns- this is the best remedy). If you have been diagnosed, please seek and implement the medical advice of the specialists that personally treat you. If you're not recoiling from the Quran recitations and other obvious symptoms of Jinn and Sihr, there is no reason to assume you have it. Please seek professional help and don't take health advice from untrained strangers online.
@@user-et2ng1qb2m Your comment is all sense and very clear masha Allah. That advice of "not taking advice from (untrained) strangers on line " has often been given by the stranger you were probably thinking of when writing it 😊 I made the mistake of not emphasizing on the possible " pure medical " causes. However i clearly supported my advice by the conditional " if jinn is the problem ". Jinn lol was actually my single angle of view in my response, because i do know that in such a case it is impossible, just impossible for the patient to cope with the disease all by themselves.. Spiritual relationship can "eventually" be maintained, not ritual performing, again "in case" the disease caused by the "jinn issue" is (very) serious. By the way, more and more psychiatrists don't ignore any longer the reality of an "invisible...supernatural...unexplain(able).. cause of some mental disorders, and work hand in hand with spiritual healers, which already was a bit done ( practiced) in North-Africa. Again thank you for your accurate and beneficial comment.
I might not agree with you on many things sheikh but you were spot on in this interview people need to learn their history and accept there are other opinions. Respect in putting Dilly in his place too he another one of them who like Sectarianism. The pragmatic Yasir Qadhi is big improved on the old one. I think you appreciate now how others have been attacked for having other views where there needs to be tolerence for other views and opinions.
Haha it takes me almost as much time to read the comments as to watch the video. Brothers and sisters, your love, admiration, respect for our Shaykh is more than heartwarming. As someone said " the truth always prevails"🌹🌹🌹

I am following the Sunna brother. However it's really interesting to hear from Sheikh..l really thought that the individuals who followed the Wahhabi doctrine were intellectual shallow and really didn't understand the faith correctly. Coming to the faith from spirit of the faith. It's interesting to see how many of the people who followed the salaf have arrived at the same intellectual position as myself. But the sad thing is so that followed the Wahhabi doctrine have nothing to show for it but broken families and nation's. Listen to his latest podcast to understand
@@TjN1924 Why don't you stop being emotional. The salafis read books of the salaf like Ash-Shariah of ajuree and Kitab Tawhid of Ibn Khuzaymah. First 3 century books. As for sufis then they refer to the khalaf when innovation had widespread in the ummah.
@@usmanshah344 The Wahbabis read ibn taymiyya. A 7th century mujassim. The Ahlus Sunnah follow Abi Hanifah, Shafi'i, Malik, Tahawi, Nawawi, Haafidh Ibn Hajar, al Ash'ari, al Maturidi etc. Taliban understood this, that's why they kick out wahhabism and ISIS from AFG.
why shiykh taking name of deoband with al azhar and habibs of yemen ? deobandis and najdi dawah is similar ideology just deobandis are muqallid , but barelvism is more closer or exactly the same as classic sufism like al gazali and maulana rum or aurangzeb or name it. so i don't understand the point is he scared to say sufis of india or barelvis (given name by salfis and deobandis to masses of sufis)
Its difficult to follow when names are not used. This person, that person, a man from america, white. Its important for names to be used in a public sphere so their positions are understood. Now they may have genuine reasons to hold those positions, in which case the viewer can look into, but foregoing names in order to protect a persons identity does not help the interview nor benefit the viewer. Use the name, its not backbiting inshallah. Its a public position and you are just commenting your take on it. And disagreements can be made respectfully in an academic manner, no problem. Shaykh Abu Esa on Islam21c made a similar point on his Unscripted interview. And Allah knows best.

Sufis don't hate najdiyya just like that. They hate najdiyya because of the way najdiyyah speaks and treats them. Sufism is over 1000 years old. Salafism is a modern phenomenon. Salafism is the one that started attacking sufism. But it's not only about sufism. Salafis use small arguments like "Where is Allah" to determine who is in Tawheed or not. So sufism/asharism/maturidism only counter attack after being attacked first.

Does anyone realize, him stating he was referring to the holes in the standard narrative of the ahruf’s and qira’at’s, it is indirectly referring to The Quran as well? Last time I checked, the ahruf’s and qira’at’s gave rise to the different versions or “readings” of the Quran today.
Not really. You will notice there are a lot of differences of opinions within the subject of ahrufs and qira’ats. I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject, but I know for sure there are, having taken a few lectures. These differences have never affected discussions regarding the Quran as a *hole* itself (pun intended😉.) Confusion within that subject won't affect the actual Quran, In a way that I can't really explain yet, lol. You can now view Yasir Qadhi's comments in the same light. Sounds weird, but It will make sense when you study that specific subject itself. I have some beginner lectures if interested.
The Sunna Ulama always said that the Najdis Ulama are ( Bedwin Ulama ) now this guy is saying when answer the question ( do you feel guilty for teaching hundreds of thousands as you said the Najdi version of Islam? ) the feeling of guilt never comes to my mind for one second why? He said Because he was honest !!! What a weird mentality 😕😳🙄 so ISIS and Nazis they shouldn't feel guilty for what they did if they were honest
If you can't see the difference between teaching a version of theology that one genuinely believes in vs the mountainous atrocities of ISIS, the Nazi etc... You probably need to deepen your thinking. Also, not feeling guilt doesn't mean you feel free. Responsibility is the perfect word here.
May Allah protect our beloved Shaykh Yasir Qadhi. I am Not really a big fan of Dilly and the blood brothers podcast. Honestly I wish that the mad mamluks never got involved with the blood brothers podcast. May Allah forgive us and guide us all to the correct path.
@@naz2you nothing wrong with evolution.... It can be reconciled with certain understandings of ayat... In fact people can argue some ayat seem to support some of the views of hassan
This guys is digging biger hole for himself, please everytime you come one defending people who are committing shirk you are just digging bigger hole for ur self! Best thing is you keep quiet. Jazk Allah Khair may Allah guide us all on tawheed.
Doing taqlid is not polytheism Evidence from pious predecessors Imām Shams al-Din Dhahabī (673-748 AH) writes in Siyar A‘lam al-Nubalā under Ibn Hazm Zāhirī’s comment: “I follow the truth and perform ijtihād, and I do not adhere to any madh-hab”, “I say: yes. Whoever has reached the level of ijtihād and a number of imāms have attested to this regarding him, it is not allowed for him to do taqlīd, just as it is not seeming at all for the beginner layman jurist who has committed the Qur’ān to memory or a great deal of it to perform ijtihād. How is he going to perform ijtihād? What will he say? On what will he base his opinions? How can he fly when his wings have not yet grown?” (Vol.18, Pg.191) Imam Nawawi writes in Al-Majmu‘ Sharh Al-Muhadhdhab: “The second view is it is obligatory (yalzimuhu) for him to follow one particular school, and that was the definitive position according to Imam Abul-Hassan (the father of Imam al-Haramayn Al-Juwayni). And this applies to everyone who has not reached the rank of ijtihād of the jurists and scholars of other disciplines. The reasoning for this ruling is that if it was permitted to follow any school one wished it would lead to hand-picking the dispensations of the schools, following one’s desires. He would be choosing between Halal and Haram, and obligatory and permissible. Ultimately that would lead to relinquishing oneself from the burden of responsibility. This is not the same as during the first generations, for the schools that were sufficient in terms of their rulings for newer issues, were neither codified nor widespread. Thus on this basis it is obligatory for a person to strive in choosing a madh-hab which alone he follows.” (Vol.1 p.93) Imam Rajab al-Hanbali writes in his book: “Refutation of anyone who follows other than the four schools”: “…that is the Mujtahid, assuming his existence, his duty (Farduhu) is to follow what becomes apparent to him of the Truth. As for the non-Mujtahid his duty is taqlīd.” Elsewhere having indicated in the latter the rarity of the lofty status of ijtihād, he states: “As for all other people who have not reached this level (of ijtihād), it is not allowed (lā yasau‘hu) for them but to do taqlīd of these Four Imams and to submit to that which the rest of the Ummah submitted to.” (Majmoo‘ al-Rasail Ibn Rajab, vol.2 p. 626 and p.624 respectively). In one of the most authoritative juristic commentaries of the Qur’an, Al-Jami‘ li-ahkam al-Qar’an, by the scholar Imam Qurtubi, commenting on verse 7 in Sura Anbiya, he writes: “The scholars did not disagree that it is obligatory for the non-scholars (al-‘Āmah) to do taqlīd of their scholars and they are meant in the verse: Ask the people of Remembrance if you do not know. And the scholars by consensus (Ajma‘oo) stated it is necessary (lā budda) for he who is unable to see to do taqlīd of someone else who will tell him the direction of the Qiblah, if it becomes difficult for him. Similarly, one who does not possess knowledge or insight of what the Deen teaches, then it is necessary (lā budda) for him to do taqlīd of that scholar who does.” (p.181 vol.11). I even have statements from Ibn Tamiyyah RA and Ibn Qayyum RA saying taqlid for ignorant masses is obligatory. the following is just a selection of unquestionable authorities in our Deen who were known to have adhered to one Madhhab from the four; Imam Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi (Shafi) Imam Abu Jafar al-Tahavi (Hanafi) Imam Fakr al-Din al-Razi (Shafi) Imam Ibn abd al-Bar (Maliki) Imam Abu Zakariyya al-Nawawi (Shafi) Imam Abu Bakr Jassas (Hanafi) Imam Ibn Rajab (Hanbali) Imam Ibn al-Humam (Hanafi) Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi (Maliki) Imam Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani (Shafi) Imam Abu al-Abbas al-Qurtubi (Maliki) Imam Badr al-Din al-Ayni (Hanafi) Imam Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti (shafi) Imam Ibn Rushd (Maliki)

What a wonderful interviewer, Dilly Hussain, and of course the interviewee Shaykh Yasir Qadhi coming with the 🔥. Ignore the haters sheikh. They think about you more than you think about your self. Talk about obsessive! Could be a mental health condition they suffer from.
When I listen to Dr Qadhi, it is because he is an Islamic historian inter alia, and I love classical history. I learn a lot from such lectures of his. This conversation was of a different kind. I patiently listened to the very end. In principle I agree with his main focus, which is the unity of Ummah above all . The world religions have undergone a serious crisis as of late, and it is naive to believe that the modernity of our times will leave Islam intact. The enormous tidal waves of changes on all fronts affect the entire planet. The confusion in people's minds, the divisions into pros and cons camps are visible everywhere. We cannot stop the movement of time, but we can talk about how to not become enemies but to find some common ground.
We are human we make errors. So no need to be guilty. Just being able to recognize some issues u may have had an oversight on is a huge success. Allah bless and guide u always. Jazakallah for your lectures always a pleasure to listen to.
Sheikh please ignore your detractors and keep doing the great work you are doing to unite the Ummah. The vast majority of the Ummah is 'traditional Muslims' like myself who, the so-called Najdi dawah is trying to alienate. And we appreciate that you saw these certain movements for what they truly are - a disuniting and dividing force accusing everyone else of Shirk and Bida.
Two opposites will never come together, this guy worked in vain for 20 years teaching his students Wahhabism now he is saying he was wrong all these years, he is still 90 % Wahhabi and he'll work another 20 years in vain trying to unite Takfiri Wahabis with the rest of Muslim Umah
@@tomjerey2830 At least he's busy with life doing something he considers a valuable effort insincerity. While you're a nobody on the internet just saying whatever from whims.

All I know that despite being in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 I learned true tawhid and Islam from Shq. YQ. InshaAllah we will overcome ♥
You obviously learnt nothing then. 😮
shaykh talks are like music in our ears!
Salaam from Nottingham Uk as always eloquent and respectful my favourite sheikh May Allah SWT bless you always Ameen
Simply adore you for frankly and honestly acknowledging the changes you went through, ya sheikh 🖤
Subhan'Allah this is so beneficial... I urge anyone with any questions regarding shaykh Yasir Qadhi... Please listen to this... Listen and find out for yourself... Masha Allah i have so much respect for Shaykh because of him i and especially Western Muslims are able to practice and learn the true essence of our beautiful. May Allah grant shaykh a long and healthy life ameen
Ameen
i hope others (those criticize Sh yassir qadhi) will watch this vedio
One thing I have learnt from yasir qadhi is tolerance.
very well spoken and clarified many issues
Love you Shaykh
💙
Alhamdulillāh excellent interview with the Sheikh
We need Ulemā like this who understand traditional Islam, history and the modern world
May ALLĀH (Swt) preserve the Sheikh, reward bro Dilly and all those that are working for Deen.

Ya Allah guide us as Educators and intellectuals, let us hold on to Quran and Sunnah to unite the Ummah ameen 🙏

Can someone tell me the name of the intro nasheed?
Sheikh YQ, I love you for the sake of Allah. May Allah increase you in wisdom, knowledge and sincerity. Have learned and benefited immensely from you.
Dear teacher pls make a series on tafseer of quran like u did of seerah. Deep respect.
Dr Yasir Qadhi You are a beautiful soul JazakAllah Khairan! ❤️
MashaAllah
He certainly is 🌹🌹🌹
I appreciate it when you speak open and tell us your thoughts and opinions.
Jazakum allahul kheiran
Quick question: Does anyone know what Brother Hussein’s ethnicity is?
Firstly, I must thank the interviewer for his insightful and well thought out questions. As he asks the questions, I go "wow". As for Sheikh Yasir, may Allah continue to increase him in knowledge, wisdom and humility.
I appreciate the work of bringing Yasir Qadi on. Thank you for sharing this with us, loved the message of unity in the Ummah.
Thank you for the great insight enjoyed it.....Allah bless the Ummah ameen 🙏
Subhaanallah. Sheikh know about all of these Great Muslims mentioned. Wow!!! May Allah bless these two and protect them and all of our Sheikhs and the ummah
Alhamdulillah, always learn something new and good from my brother Yasir Qadhi . May Allah protect him from all harm and evil. Ameen
Ameen ya Rabbil alameen
Asalam aleikum brothers and sisters
One think to take away from Sheikh Yasir is we all need to know what Islam is before going into "tangents" as the Sheikh usually says😄. I have learnt a lot of my religion from him and that is what he wants to do. Keep it coming for us Sheikh. We need knowledge and that's what you should be doing. Leave the naysayers alone. By the way I was born in an Islamic environment and yet I didn't know what I have learned from Sheikh yasir: example? The Ashara mubashara was an eye opener. Teach us teach us. Leave the politics to the politicians. JazakaAllah
May Allah bless us all with success, health, happiness, patience and strength. May all your dreams come true and may you live the life that you have always dreamed of. May Allah bless you with victory in this life and eternal life too. Amen!
Ameen
My Sheikh
What a champion! May Allah give you long life so you can keep on helping us get back on track. Where the haters at?! May Allah guide us and all these haters.
We will unite the ummah shaykh, we will work hard, if not us then our children! I am ready to help you in this, however I've got a long way to go in my study shaykh. Almost starting madrasa ! بإذن الله تعالى
Mashallah, an excellent an inspiring interview, may bless and reward the Shiekh for his hard work and efforts in trying to clarify and highlight the importance of unity amongst the Muslim Ummah.
I love you sheikh, for Allah's sake
The sad part is that other shuyookh have an agenda to “refute” Yasir Qadhi, but all he does is quote books and other scholars positions. Why are shuyookh accusing him of “modernizing” Islam? Look, you don’t agree say “I don’t agree,” but why the accusations?! I feel like a lot of shuyookh and people who’s have some Islamic books aka self taught “knowledgeable” Muslims, have it out to get him for some reason. this is misleading Muslims and blocking knowledge in my opinion.
People need views to make money on youtube. Creating drama is a good way to do so.
Jazakallahu Khayran Ahsanul Jaza
May Allah bless Sheikh Yasir.
There is a reason why Hanafis especially in Pakistan are warning people about Najdi theology/mindset. I'm just glad you are brave enough to accept the wrongs in that Najdi ideology.

Nice interview from Br. yasir
A must listen!. If you have any questions/doubts about Shaykh Yasir Qadhi. He explains why he gently moved away from certain opinions and way of thinking...His earlier teachings led him to believe that their way was only correct way and to hate any groups other than his....he was made to think other ways are shirk... Because of these types of way of thinking in the 90s and early 2000s there were rift between different groups within the sunni spectrum ....Shaykh came to know people from other groups are good muslims, not doing shirk, trying to get closer to Allah etc what he was originally taught to believe ... He felt responsible to correct his teachings especially to his students.
He believes the differences should be kept at academic level, it should be discussed at that level... Not by masses, not in local masajids, or islamic societies in universities. The leaders, aalim of any group shouldn't teach their "followers" to hate any other group, or spread hate... And say this is shirk or that is haram willy nilly, you can disagree but shouldn't say its haram!.Especially at grass roots we are not qualified for that. If there is any questions you should check or clarify with a person of knowledge you trust instead of going public and slandering someone as that causes fitna and harm to the ummah.
The general muslim should stick to the position they trust and follow and try to be a good muslim.
Some people dont even know the reason why they don't listen or agree with shaykh.. They just heard someone say he is a bit 'dodgy'... Even his refuters dont even know why they refute!??!. Subhan'Allah.
Shaykh was the first in the USA to unite the salafis and sufis... He contacted Imam Zaid Shakir from Zaytuna institute and formed an alliance, now in North America the muslims are united.
Especially at this time we need to be united as Muslims we are all on the sunnah.
When we have outside hate, and we are being targeted for various reasons.. The world is changing rapidly with so much transgression and disobedience to the Creator, almost challenging Him, we need to have unity within and work together. Dont break away from the ummah.
We should not judge anyone without knowledge and follow anyone blindly. We are struggling to pray five times a day, we should stick to correcting ourselves and learn. we should leave the discussion of differences of opinions, classical texts and fatwas of previous scholars to those who qualify to criticise, the scholars and the proper student's of knowledge.
May Allah grant us true understanding, gant us pure intentions and iman ameen. ❤️
Ameen to your dua.

Bottom line: Why would anyone want to go to a grave, when they can go directly to Allāh (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)?

DH is kinda obnoxious but i love the fact that SYQ burnt him live in this podcast is wonderful to watch
Please , Yasir Qadhi..please I love that you hate to criticize people . Keep this up. We muslims need this desperately
Could it include time stamps
I am suffering from ocd and bipolar disorder the waswasas have spoiled my life is this done by jinn or satan please help me i am in unimaginable pain
May Allah SWT grant you calmness of the heart
@@mohamedashwaanrasheedh8086 Ameen. Listen to Qur'an as it calms the heart and the soul. MMay ALLAH SWT completerly cure you brother. Ameen ya Rabbil alameen.
@Cool maaz It may be difficult for you to have the energy to do it, but please DO YOU BEST to search for a mosq, an islamic center, and talk to someone about your sickness. An imam or someone else CAN HELP. I hope that uou find the right person to listen to you and to offer the right solution. Please KEEP DHIKR of Allah 3azza wa jal, even if it is only in your heart, if praying and other rituals is difficult. DON'T YOU EVER NEVER LOOSE HOPE. Making you tired and lose hope is a trick of jinn if jinn is the problem. Pray to the Almighty and BELEIVE IN HIS MERCY. May He listen and respond to your prayers, ameen.
Mental health problems are treatable via medication and therapy. The brain is an organ just like every other in your body. OCD and bipolar disorders are documented diseases with various reliable and proven treatments. If you had diabetes, cancers, arthritis etc- you would go to a doctor and use medications. The same applies to your brain. Of course, increase and maintain your relationship Allah SWT through the Quran, duaa, your Salah etc. This will only ever benefit you (and really if you are concerned about Jinns- this is the best remedy).
If you have been diagnosed, please seek and implement the medical advice of the specialists that personally treat you.
If you're not recoiling from the Quran recitations and other obvious symptoms of Jinn and Sihr, there is no reason to assume you have it.
Please seek professional help and don't take health advice from untrained strangers online.
@@user-et2ng1qb2m Your comment is all sense and very clear masha Allah.
That advice of "not taking advice from (untrained) strangers on line " has often been given by the stranger you were probably thinking of when writing it 😊
I made the mistake of not emphasizing on the possible " pure medical " causes. However i clearly supported my advice by the conditional " if jinn is the problem ". Jinn lol was actually my single angle of view in my response, because i do know that in such a case it is impossible, just impossible for the patient to cope with the disease all by themselves..
Spiritual relationship can "eventually" be maintained, not ritual performing, again "in case" the disease caused by the "jinn issue" is (very) serious.
By the way, more and more psychiatrists don't ignore any longer the reality of an "invisible...supernatural...unexplain(able).. cause of some mental disorders, and work hand in hand with spiritual healers, which already was a bit done ( practiced) in North-Africa.
Again thank you for your accurate and beneficial comment.
Definitely- the issue of Muslim unity it crucial in every time but at this particular time- when the Ummah is so divided and disunited

I might not agree with you on many things sheikh but you were spot on in this interview people need to learn their history and accept there are other opinions. Respect in putting Dilly in his place too he another one of them who like Sectarianism. The pragmatic Yasir Qadhi is big improved on the old one. I think you appreciate now how others have been attacked for having other views where there needs to be tolerence for other views and opinions.
Sheikh Yasir qadhi is an living Encyclopedia... would love to meet him and benefit myself with the knowledge he has ... Insha Allah..
Please always include timestamps in the description !!!

Haha it takes me almost as much time to read the comments as to watch the video. Brothers and sisters, your love, admiration, respect for our Shaykh is more than heartwarming. As someone said " the truth always prevails"🌹🌹🌹

@@alishah6591 جزاك الله خير dear brother
the icebreaker is obnoxious and redundant and it makes DH looks weak
Ameen really enjoyed it from a Sufi perspective
Follow the sahaba my brother not sufism.
I am following the Sunna brother.
However it's really interesting to hear from Sheikh..l really thought that the individuals who followed the Wahhabi doctrine were intellectual shallow and really didn't understand the faith correctly. Coming to the faith from spirit of the faith. It's interesting to see how many of the people who followed the salaf have arrived at the same intellectual position as myself. But the sad thing is so that followed the Wahhabi doctrine have nothing to show for it but broken families and nation's. Listen to his latest podcast to understand
@@TjN1924 Why don't you stop being emotional. The salafis read books of the salaf like Ash-Shariah of ajuree and Kitab Tawhid of Ibn Khuzaymah. First 3 century books. As for sufis then they refer to the khalaf when innovation had widespread in the ummah.
@@usmanshah344 The Wahbabis read ibn taymiyya. A 7th century mujassim.
The Ahlus Sunnah follow Abi Hanifah, Shafi'i, Malik, Tahawi, Nawawi, Haafidh Ibn Hajar, al Ash'ari, al Maturidi etc.
Taliban understood this, that's why they kick out wahhabism and ISIS from AFG.
if you deal with issue of istigatha honestly you came to the this position that it is not shirk , maybe it is haram or makrooh or mubah
why shiykh taking name of deoband with al azhar and habibs of yemen ? deobandis and najdi dawah is similar ideology just deobandis are muqallid , but barelvism is more closer or exactly the same as classic sufism like al gazali and maulana rum or aurangzeb or name it. so i don't understand the point is he scared to say sufis of india or barelvis (given name by salfis and deobandis to masses of sufis)
Salam, please do a collab with Dr Shabir Ally. Both forward thinking intellectuals. Jazakallah
Its difficult to follow when names are not used. This person, that person, a man from america, white. Its important for names to be used in a public sphere so their positions are understood. Now they may have genuine reasons to hold those positions, in which case the viewer can look into, but foregoing names in order to protect a persons identity does not help the interview nor benefit the viewer. Use the name, its not backbiting inshallah. Its a public position and you are just commenting your take on it. And disagreements can be made respectfully in an academic manner, no problem. Shaykh Abu Esa on Islam21c made a similar point on his Unscripted interview.
And Allah knows best.
YQ will prevail these ppl talking bad about him. InshAllah.
Funny, these other ppl who have refuted him have just faded away. Or grown up InshAllah
The truth will always prevail.
Ameen for what Br.Yasir Qadhi says in beginning of this show.
Ma sha Allah may Allah bless you 😂 and may Allah grant our son's ilmu deen in sha Allah
I invite you all to listen to Hadith narrations
1:09:51 i disagree completely Muhammad Hijab and ppl like him 100% are to blame for Abu Layth’s house being broken into and his daughter being put im danger dont defend ur boys when there wrong
Hijab is a coward. Why wouldn't he debate abu layth instead of baying blood to the ignorant masses
@@Adrian-yf1zg Hijab is not a coward a very smart passionate man but he deff over steped that time i hope he realises his mistakes and stops the theatrics
Lool he's Not responsible at all. I thought any layth promotes freedom of expression with no boundaries so why are you complaining?
but my issue is that the najdiya are taught to hate the sufis
but the also vice versa yet he never talks about it
weird
Sufis don't hate najdiyya just like that. They hate najdiyya because of the way najdiyyah speaks and treats them.
Sufism is over 1000 years old. Salafism is a modern phenomenon. Salafism is the one that started attacking sufism. But it's not only about sufism. Salafis use small arguments like "Where is Allah" to determine who is in Tawheed or not. So sufism/asharism/maturidism only counter attack after being attacked first.
@@farzana6676 lol
If u go to ashaarite pages on fb
They refer to the wahabis as قرن الشيطان
Meaning the devils
Stop being delusional
Even some ashaarite do takfeer of them
@@abdulkader7104 Yes of course. This is a prophecy of the Rasool of Allah.
There is a big fitna that came out of Najd, and the Rasool has prophecized the fitna. So qarnu-shaitan is only keeping with the words of our messenger.

Your argument is like the Nasaara that blame both Jews and Palestinians because why are the Palestinians resisting aggression.
Make your videos short ..2 hours is too lengthy
Does anyone realize, him stating he was referring to the holes in the standard narrative of the ahruf’s and qira’at’s, it is indirectly referring to The Quran as well? Last time I checked, the ahruf’s and qira’at’s gave rise to the different versions or “readings” of the Quran today.
Not really. You will notice there are a lot of differences of opinions within the subject of ahrufs and qira’ats. I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject, but I know for sure there are, having taken a few lectures. These differences have never affected discussions regarding the Quran as a *hole* itself (pun intended😉.) Confusion within that subject won't affect the actual Quran, In a way that I can't really explain yet, lol. You can now view Yasir Qadhi's comments in the same light. Sounds weird, but It will make sense when you study that specific subject itself. I have some beginner lectures if interested.
I put thumb down because Islamic history is not all about laughing and chiling out but ....
Bro just chill.
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi is a real Sunni Islamic Scholar. Alhamdulilah
If i "ever" get asked "rapid fire" questions i would select differently than him in most of the questions.
The Sunna Ulama always said that the Najdis Ulama are ( Bedwin Ulama ) now this guy is saying when answer the question ( do you feel guilty for teaching hundreds of thousands as you said the Najdi version of Islam? ) the feeling of guilt never comes to my mind for one second why? He said Because he was honest !!! What a weird mentality 😕😳🙄 so ISIS and Nazis they shouldn't feel guilty for what they did if they were honest
Go back to watching Tom and jerry 😂😂😂
If you can't see the difference between teaching a version of theology that one genuinely believes in vs the mountainous atrocities of ISIS, the Nazi etc... You probably need to deepen your thinking. Also, not feeling guilt doesn't mean you feel free. Responsibility is the perfect word here.
@@user-et2ng1qb2m so you're clever for seeing the difference, but that is only because your dull Wahabi mind works different
May Allah protect our beloved Shaykh Yasir Qadhi. I am Not really a big fan of Dilly and the blood brothers podcast. Honestly I wish that the mad mamluks never got involved with the blood brothers podcast. May Allah forgive us and guide us all to the correct path.
Ameen to seeking Allah' protection for Sh. YQ and for Allah's forgiveness and guidance for all Muslims.

Doing taqlid is not polytheism
Evidence from pious predecessors
Imām Shams al-Din Dhahabī (673-748 AH) writes in Siyar
A‘lam al-Nubalā under Ibn Hazm Zāhirī’s comment:
“I follow the truth and perform ijtihād, and I do not adhere to
any madh-hab”, “I say: yes. Whoever has reached the level of
ijtihād and a number of imāms have attested to this regarding
him, it is not allowed for him to do taqlīd, just as it is not seeming
at all for the beginner layman jurist who has committed the
Qur’ān to memory or a great deal of it to perform ijtihād. How
is he going to perform ijtihād? What will he say? On what will
he base his opinions? How can he fly when his wings have not
yet grown?” (Vol.18, Pg.191)
Imam Nawawi writes in Al-Majmu‘ Sharh Al-Muhadhdhab:
“The second view is it is obligatory (yalzimuhu) for him to
follow one particular school, and that was the definitive
position according to Imam Abul-Hassan (the father of Imam
al-Haramayn Al-Juwayni). And this applies to everyone who
has not reached the rank of ijtihād of the jurists and scholars
of other disciplines. The reasoning for this ruling is that if it
was permitted to follow any school one wished it would lead to
hand-picking the dispensations of the schools, following one’s
desires. He would be choosing between Halal and Haram,
and obligatory and permissible. Ultimately that would lead to
relinquishing oneself from the burden of responsibility. This
is not the same as during the first generations, for the schools
that were sufficient in terms of their rulings for newer issues,
were neither codified nor widespread. Thus on this basis it is
obligatory for a person to strive in choosing a madh-hab which
alone he follows.” (Vol.1 p.93)
Imam Rajab al-Hanbali writes in his book: “Refutation of
anyone who follows other than the four schools”:
“…that is the Mujtahid, assuming his existence, his duty
(Farduhu) is to follow what becomes apparent to him of the
Truth. As for the non-Mujtahid his duty is taqlīd.” Elsewhere
having indicated in the latter the rarity of the lofty status of
ijtihād, he states: “As for all other people who have not reached
this level (of ijtihād), it is not allowed (lā yasau‘hu) for them but
to do taqlīd of these Four Imams and to submit to that which
the rest of the Ummah submitted to.” (Majmoo‘ al-Rasail Ibn
Rajab, vol.2 p. 626 and p.624 respectively).
In one of the most authoritative juristic commentaries of
the Qur’an, Al-Jami‘ li-ahkam al-Qar’an, by the scholar Imam
Qurtubi, commenting on verse 7 in Sura Anbiya, he writes:
“The scholars did not disagree that it is obligatory for the
non-scholars (al-‘Āmah) to do taqlīd of their scholars and they
are meant in the verse: Ask the people of Remembrance if you do
not know. And the scholars by consensus (Ajma‘oo) stated it is
necessary (lā budda) for he who is unable to see to do taqlīd of
someone else who will tell him the direction of the Qiblah,
if it becomes difficult for him. Similarly, one who does not
possess knowledge or insight of what the Deen teaches, then it
is necessary (lā budda) for him to do taqlīd of that scholar who
does.” (p.181 vol.11).
I even have statements from Ibn Tamiyyah RA and Ibn Qayyum RA saying taqlid for ignorant masses is obligatory.

Deen who were known to have adhered to one Madhhab from
the four;
