Seerah – 104 The 1st Rightful Khalifah Of Islam, Part 2 – Election of Abu Bakr R.A
30 maart 2015 · 1 uur 17 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now discusses the subject of argument between the Sunnis and the Shias - the Election of Abu Bakr As Siddiq RA as the 1st rightful Khalifa of Islam. Lees meer
We have numerous evidences in the Qur'an where Abu BAkr RA has been chosen for the coveted job after the Prophet ﷺ such as in Surah Tawbah and another Surah where the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr RA are hiding in a cave. Rightfully so, there are also innumerable Hadith which highlight the stature and position of Abu Bakr RA.
We have a discussion on the merits of the two famous Sa'ds in the history of Islam. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and Sa'd ibn Ubadah. What are they? Listen intently as Shaykh Yasir delves deeper.
Abu Bakr RA, in all probability, chose a delegation which obviously included the senior most leaders such as Umar RA himself and Abu Ubaidah RA. This was done immediately so as to take care of the external matters or matters of the city. As for the internal matters of the household, Abbas RA and Ali RA took charge along with Zubair ibn al-Awwam RA.
When commotion began to ensue among the people on who should be the next Khalifa based on Abu Bakr RA suggestion to choose one amongst Umar RA and Abu Ubaidah RA, Umar RA could not take it any more and he pledged his allegiance to Abu Bakr RA in a raised voice, thus bringing a culmination to all the pandemonium that was happening until then.
The matter of the election of the 1st Khalifa happened in a day. Only when Abu Bakr RA was appointed as the Khalifa and the Khutbah given by Abu Bakr RA was the body of the Prophet ﷺ washed and prepared for burial.

ISIS: Theology or Revenge?
22 maart 2015 · 30 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi ponders over the origin of ISIS and the factors that have catapulted them into a major nuisance. According to the Shaykh, the source of ISIS is "the hellish conditions that Western powers created in the region." Lees meer
ISIS harbours itself as the face of establishment of oppression and protection of the Muslims, but the reality is far from its mission. They contradict themselves on so many levels that it deters the very concept of Islam. This group has annihilated the beauty of Islam and distorted the reality of the teachings of our Noble Prophet ﷺ like never before.
This talk needs to be listened to so that a comprehensive understanding of the world and its dire circumstances into which it is plunged an be explicitly fathomed .

Seerah 103 The 1st Rightful Khalifah Of Islam, Part 1 Incident Of Scrolls
26 februari 2015 · 27 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the topic of the incident of the Scrolls which the Prophet ﷺ intended to write before his death. It is a point of controversy and warrants a detailed discussion. Lees meer
When the health of the Prophet ﷺ worsened, he demanded that he be brought a book in which he would write something for all of the Muslims to prevent them from going astray. But Umar RA overlooked this request out of compassion and mercy for the Prophet ﷺ, assuming that this request was being made out of pain and suffering and not in the right frame of mind.
According to the Non Sunni groups, the Prophet ﷺ intended to write the waseeya for Ali RA and supposedly, Umar RA came in the way of it and prevented it from happening. So, they harbour a hatred of sorts for Umar RA.
But scholars like Imam al Khattabi and Imam al Bayhaqi disagree with this assumption and cite their reasons for believing so. They say that the statement made by Umar RA was only because he feared that the Prophet ﷺ may say something vague and ambiguous only for the treacherous munafiqun to benefit from.
Hence, the incident of the scrolls from the perspective of the Sunni group will always be in favour of Umar RA. And Allah knows best.

Ibn Taymiyya: A Summary Dr. Qadhi's Dissertation At Yale University
20 februari 2015 · 1 uur 7 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi gives an amazing summary of his dissertation relating Ibn Taymiyyah at the Yale University and it makes for an interesting listen as we try to decipher the concepts of Aqal and Naqal in the light of Islam. Lees meer
During the sixth century of Islam, an Iranian scholar named Fakhr ad-Din ar-Razi Rah generated a treatise on the theology of the names of Attributes of Allāh SWT which was presented by some way to Ṣalaḥ ad-Din al-Ayyubi Rah. Here we stumble upon a term - The Universal Rule, which implied that if reason (aql) warred with revelation( Naqal), then emphasis should be laid upon reason and not revelation.
A few centuries later, a man by the name of Shaykh al-Islam Taqi'l-Din Ahmad b. Abd al-Haleem Ibn Taymiyyah (rah), who represented the Athari school of thought, refuted the above rule completely and gave enough proof for this. This is has been explicitly stated in a book published relating to this very aspect. Do listen intently to unravel the details and have a clear chain of thought in this regard.
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi considers Shaykh-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah as a mentor and using the theory supported by Ibn Taymiyyah goes on to extrapolate from the text that there can never be a confrontation of sorts between true reason and explicit revelation.

Reflections On Chapel Hill Shooting: A Great Legacy
18 februari 2015 · 13 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi shares his innermost and heartfelt thoughts on the Chapel Hill shootings and the great legacy left behind by Deah Barakat (age 23), his wife Yusor Barakat (age 21), and her sister Razan Muhammad (age 19), who were brutally murdered in the Chapel Hill Shooting. Lees meer
Deah and his wife were newlyweds and were renowned in the Muslim community for their active participation in noble causes. The heinous murder seems to have been propelled by religious hatred against Islam. Even as the perpetrators of this lowly deed may go unpunished and unaccounted for in this world, the Hereafter awaits to engulf them with the punishment for their act in this world.
May their deaths be accepted as Shahada! And may their deaths not be in vain!

Reconstructing The Muslim Mind
18 februari 2015 · 1 uur 21 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the theory of possibly reconstructing the human mind. Is there a necessity for it? And if there is, what would be the most convenient and appropriate approach? In this inspiring talk, the Shaykh acquaints us with the need to open up to embrace the idea of an independently thinking Ummah entwined with the Islamic Shariah. Lees meer
The initial times saw Muslims being the ones who had mastered Islamic knowledge and using this wisdom , they were fully capable of guiding and enabling progress of the entire Ummah effortlessly. The Ummah looked upon these scholars for adapting to the Shariah comfortably while at the same time also adopting external influences to go by the events in their lives.
However, we are in a conundrum of sorts where the Ummah are exposed to only a trivial amount of broad minded scholars of Islam and secular sciences. The narrow mindedness of the remainder of them leads to a grave predicament for the Muslim Ummah and endangers the principles of our faith.

Dua In Distress And Calamity That Guarantees A Response
18 februari 2015 · 39 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi acquaints us with the duas to be said in times of distress and calamity such that an affirmative response is gained. Lees meer
Ibn ‘Abbas RA said: When Prophet Ibraheem AS was thrown into the fire of Namrood, he said: “Hasbunallahu wa Ni’mal Wakeel - Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and, He is the Best Disposer of affairs.” So did Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, when he was told: “A great army of the pagans had gathered against him, so fear them”. But he said: “Allah (Alone) is sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs (for us)”.
Dua of Prophet Yunus AS -’ La Ilaha Illa Anta Subhanaka Inni Kuntu Minaz Zalimeen - There are none worthy of worship besides You. Glorified are You. Surely I am from the wrongdoers.’
Trials and calamities test the true strength of a Believer and exhibit his stance in this situation - that is, whether he evokes Allah with humility and submissiveness placing complete trust in Allah or otherwise.

Seerah - 102 The Mosque And Grave Of Prophet Muhammad
13 februari 2015 · 1 uur 27 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses the Qabr of the Prophet ﷺ which is a part of our history and heritage. Lees meer
The Shaykh begins with the exact position of the houses of the wives of the Prophet SAW which he used to take turns in visiting. The house of Aisha RA was the one whose entrance also opened into the Masjid and hence, was a bit privileged in position. The inside of the house of the Prophet ﷺ is also discussed in vivid details with help from digital models that have recreated the house to the most approximate version. Here, we see the mattress, the utensils, the curtain and much more such items that would have been present in the house
We also get acquainted with the details of the expansion of the Masjid of the Prophet ﷺ in around 9 H under the Khilafa of Al Waleed Ibn Abdul Malik. What did he do to the houses of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ? Listen intently.
There are also reports of the attempts made at smuggling the body of the Prophet ﷺ in the time just to merit themselves with greatness and show off their courage. It obviously failed every single time.
The Big Fire - it is an incident that was very tragic and which happened due to the accidental falling of the lamp which made the entire area go up in flames. This resulted also in the original Mushaf of Uthman Ibn Affan RA being burnt completely. Even though the Masjid was burnt down, Allah protected the Grave of the Prophet ﷺ.
A square of sorts was built around the Grave of the Prophet ﷺ by Baibarus which remained intact for 200 years. But then,a Second Big Fire happened in 886 H, which burned the Masjid down again.
A person by the name of Samhudi was the first person to enter the blessed grave in over 500 years to clean up the Qabr and preserve the original structure of Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz.
The green lattice structure that we see atop the Masjid an Nabawi was actually the brainchild of Sultan Quit Pa of the Mamluk dynasty.

Seerah - 101 The Death of Prophet Muhammad
31 januari 2015 · 1 uur 47 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now reaches the finale of sorts of the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ - the Death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Lees meer
Usama Ibn Zayd is entrusted with the coveted honour and prestige of heading the expedition to As Sham. But when he left in the month of Shawwal for the same, he was called back to Madinah by the people due to the failing health of the Prophet ﷺ.
About the final sickness of the Prophet ﷺ, there are numerous verses in the Noble Qur'an and the Sunnah that stand testimony to the fact that his death was an imminent reality. But because of the intense love, admiration and respect that the Ummah had for him, the thought of it was unimaginable and unbearable.
When the Prophet ﷺ visited the house of his wife Maymoonah on the 1st or 2nd Rabi al-Awwal, the fever began. So, he sought permission from his other wives to rest in the house of A'isha RA. As time passed by, over the days, his health deteriorated considerably and he needed help from Abbas and Ali RA to help him even stand.
Whilst in the Masjid in his feeble state,he gave some valuable advice to the Muslims - not to take the graves of the Prophets as Masjids,clearance of any debt that he may have and unjust hitting done on anyone.
The Prophet ﷺ led the Maghrib salah on a Friday which was the final salah he led in the Masjid publically and he recited Surah Mursalat. When Bilal RA called him for Isha, he gets up to go but loses consciousness and faints on the bed itself. What happened next? What is the role of Abu Bakr RA in this entire thing? Shaykh Yasir answers explicitly and we are left mesmerised by the turn of events.
On the Fajr of Monday, 12th Rabi al-Awwal in the 11th year of the Hijrah when he lifts the curtain and sees his Ummah praying the salah, he is overjoyed and satisfied that indeed Islam has triuphed.
We gain valuable insights into the entire period of the suffering of the Prophet ﷺ due to the pangs of death, his Duas that are being made by him, his instruction to Usama Ibn …

The Prophet ﷺ left on the 25th Dhul Qa'dah in the year 10 H and reached Mecca on the 4th Dhul Hijjah.when he reached Dhul Hulayfah,he prayed two rakat and entered the state of Ihram. This Hajj was called Hajjatul Wada'a. There are three types of Haj which are Jaaiz:
Hajj Qiran - Umrah and Hajj with one Ihram.
Hajj Ifrad - only doing Hajj, no Umrah.
Hajj Tamattu - separating Umrah from Hajj with separate Iihram for each.Meanwhile, the Prophet ﷺ sent told Ali RA to bring 100 camels from Yemen to Mecca for the Hajj.hence,Ali arrived with 100 camels and he immediately entered into the tent of Fatimah RA. What happened next? Listen intently.
On the morning of the 8th of Dhul Hijjah, the Prophet SAW prayed Fajr in the Ka'bah and started his journey to Mina. The Hadith of Jabir ibn Abd Allah RA is as detailed as it gets explaining the entire procedure of Hajj as done by the Prophet ﷺ. It is truly a revelation with many Fiqhi doubts being put to rest and also our unintentional assumptions and mistakes can be rectified once in for all.
The Prophet ﷺ gave during Hajj, three Khutbahs: he gave a khutbah on the day of Arafat and Khutbahs in Mina too on the 10th and 11th or even the 12th of Dhul Hijjah. The 9th dhul Hijjah is the day of 'Al Hajj Akbar' which is the Day of Arafat which is when Allah revealed Wahi to the messenger of Allah ﷺ which says -'This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.’
The Prophet ﷺ after three nights in Mina, left on the 13th Dhul Hijjah.
The prime benefits of the Sermons of the Prophet ﷺ are the abolishment of the old customs of jahiliya, demonstration of preaching by commencing from his own family, annihilation of racism and jahiliyyah tribes, strengthening of ties and relations amongs…

How to pray the Eid prayer? Listen intently to discover important details.
Next in the line for discussion is the funeral or the janazah wherein two acts are essential - washing of dead body and the funeral prayer. What are the rules to be exercised when one is washing or performing ghusl of the dead body?Shaykh Yasir answers. Salatul Janazah should be performed by the closest relative of the dead person so that there is more sincerity in Dua for the dead. But, an Imam can also do the same.
4 Takbeerat should be performed - 1st Takbeer should be succeeded by Surah Fatiha, 2nd takbeer should be succeeded by Durood on the Prophet (SAW) 3rd takbeer should be succeeded by dua for the dead and the 4th takbeer should be succeeded with immediate Salam on one side. The grave should be dug around 5 to 6 ft deep. There are the two ways to dig a grave - one is Lahd and the other is Shaq.
The reward for praying Salatul Janazah and attending Janazah is attainment of two mountains of rewards where one mountain is the size of Mount Uhud.
The Muslim should be buried as soon as possible and it should not be delayed and the dead must be buried in the same place as his death.

Condemning The Charlie Hebdo Attack And Respecting Prophet Muhammad Pbuh
11 januari 2015 · 33 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi shares his state of mind and gives us an honest opinion on the recent killing of the cartoonists in France. He also sheds light on the clear double-standards and hypocrisy that sets the undertone of the mindset of the people. Lees meer
The Shaykh asks of these people as to what is the use of the 'freedom of expression' when clearly one does not even have his or her way when it comes to choosing one’s attire.
The Prophet ﷺ was sent as nothing but a source of immense love and mercy to the world, with his Seerah being standing testimony to the innumerable incidents of forgiveness and love. His honour has to be guarded with full conviction and mocking of the Prophet ﷺ is promised a punishment by Allah SWT like no other.
The Shaykh implores us to seriously ponder upon the context of violence, why it happens, why is the Seerah being placed out of context and much more. The political and social powers that influence the minds of the radicals need to be checked into place so that these untoward incidents do not see the light of the day. Islamophobia and institutionalized racism against Muslims has to stop if we are to be allowed to practise our religion in peace and tranquility.

Seerah 99 Verse of Sword & Hajj of Abu Bakr
9 januari 2015 · 1 uur 14 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now discusses a major event that happened in the Seerah in the year 9 H and that is the Hajj of Abu Bakr As Siddiq RA. Lees meer
When the tribe of Ta'if accepts Islam in 9H, the Prophet ﷺ makes the decision to send Abu Bakr RA with an official delegation from Madinah to Mecca. He does not perform the Hajj himself. Why so? He informs the reason being the performance of the Tawaf by the jahiliyyah in the naked state. And that is indeed a no brainer that the blessed Prophet ﷺ is not going to do Hajj when the mushriks were acting in this way.
Also we receive immense clarification on the topic of Tawaf being done in a naked state by the Jahiliyyah. Then Allah explicitly elaborates on this topic of Fahisha in the Qur'an and our doubts are put to rest.
The moment Abu Bakr RA left for Madinah, Allah revealed the first 3 pages of Surah Tawbah which were directed at the pagans of Arabia.
Another point of interest is when the Prophet ﷺ chose Ali ibn Abi Talib to take these verses and announce them to the people during Hajj along with the congregation that had left for Mecca. 300 people were chosen to go along with 25 sacrificial animals.
What are these verses ofSurah Tawbah? The Shaykh explains the meanings of the verses revealed in this time and gives a detailed Tafseer. It is definitely worth a listen.
'The verse of the sword' or the 5th verse of Surah Tawbah that was revealed became a huge point of misinterpretation and controversy. What was the issue? Shaykh Yasir answers.
Abu Bakr RA performed the Hajj along with Ali RA and they first recite Surah Tawbah. Then they make the following announcements:
No one shall enter Jannah other than a Muslim.
No one shall perform Tawaf naked.
No mushrik shall ever perform Tawaf ever again.Was Ihram present before Islam? It is reported that the Prophet ﷺ explicitly commanded the Muslims to wear Ihram and this implies that Ihram is that which the Prophet ﷺ himself came with.

What is Sihr? What does it mean linguistically and theologically? How do magicians learn Sihr? Lees meer
How can we detect if someone has Sihr (Black Magic) done on them? What is possession and exorcism? How to combat Sihr and Jinns? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi elaborates on a variety of such mind boggling topics that warrant our attention.
The Shaykh also discusses Quranic stories about Sihr. The first is the story of Musa AS. The other story is about Sulaiman AS and his power to control wind, Jinns and animals. listen intently to discover the pertinent details.
After Sulaiman AS died, the Shayateen claimed to have unlocked his powers and told that Sulaiman AS knew black magic. But Allah defended him explicitly in the Holy Qur'an. A very comprehensive explanation about the same is provided by the Shaykh.
Sihr was also done on the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and Aisha RA narrates that the Prophet ﷺ assumed that he needed to do a Ghusl thinking he had been intimate the night before but that was never the case. He also had a dream that gave him the solution of his assumption due to Sihr. What was it? What did the Prophet ﷺ do about it? Do not miss the explanation provided.
What lessons do we imbibe from the happenings with the Prophet Musa AS, Sulaiman AS and Prophet ﷺ?
Iman and Taqwa does not necessarily protect you from Sihr but can possibly minimise the impact definitely. The stronger the Iman, the lesser the impact of Sihr.
Most magic occurs by using body parts of the one on whom magic is done like hairs and nails and clothing items.
One of the main ways to combat Sihr is to make Dua continuously.
It is very helpful to know where the item is so that it can be destroyed.Surah Al Falaq and An Nas are the most precious when it comes to combating Sihr.
The physical and psychological nature of Jinns is illustrated for us to alleviate fears in our minds. What is meant by Jinn? What are the roots of Jinns? Why do the Jinns do what they do? The mysteries surrounding these smokeless creatio…

And even among these dates, the 8th of Rabi ul Awwal seems to stake the highest claim.
