Should the divorce eventually happen, then it is binding upon the husband to give a parting gift to the now ex- wife.Listen intently to the lecture to delve deeper into the topic.

31 december 2014 · 42 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi embarks on a journey that aims to highlight several aspects of our Deen. Lees meer
A strong believer is the one who has strong Iman and he is better than a weak Mumin. Not every believer has the same degree of Iman.
Allah will love a strong believer more than a weak believer.
A strong believer should adopt those characteristics which Allah loves as mentioned in the Qur'an and stay away from those which He hates.
The Prophet ﷺ has instructed us to aim for the best of Deen and Dunya in intent and resolve and that is the sign of the strong believer - he is wise.
A strong believer will always make Dua to Allah before embarking on any path because he has the realization that he needs the help of Allah for everything.
A strong believer is never lazy but instead will be hardworking in the quest to achieve strong Iman.Three necessary conditions for success:
Intent
Dua and Prayer
Right actionA detailed discussion on the topic of Salat Al Istikhara is also one and it is indeed enlightening to listen to the Shaykh motivate us immensely to always seek Allah’s help before attempting to make new beginnings. It is the only right way there is.

Tafsir of Surat Al-Mā`ūn & Importance of Muharram & Ashura
31 december 2014 · 40 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi's explicit lecture on the Tafsir of Surah Al-Ma`un and the prominence of the month of Muharram and Ashura makes for a very interesting listen.
“So woe to those who pray (but) who are heedless of their prayer - Those who make show (of their deeds)”
[Surat Al-Ma`un, verses 4-6]
In these verses, Allah SWT admonishes those that do pray Salah but don't pay attention to it. They do not pay heed to the spiritual aspect of Salah and hence, khushoo in Salah is lost. Surely, Allah deserves infinite more respect when we stand in front of Him for Salah. Lees meerIt was narrated that Abu Hurayrah RA said, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:“The best fasting after Ramadan is the month of Allah Muharram, and the best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night.”
The Prophet ﷺ said: “For fasting the day of Ashura, I hope that Allah will accept it as expiation for the year that went before.”
Ibn Abbas RA said, “When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reached Medina, he found the Jews fasting the Day of Ashura, so he asked them, ‘What is this day you are fasting?’ They said, ‘This is a tremendous day. Allah saved Musa and his people on this day and drowned Pharaoh and his people. Musa fasted it out of thanks, so we fast it too.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘And we are more deserving of Musa than you are.’ So he fasted this day, and ordered that it be fasted.”
It is narrated by Ibn Abbas RA that the Prophet ﷺ said,“Fast the Day of ‘Ashura and be different from the Jews by fasting a day before it or a day after it.”
The virtues of Muharram and Ashura are highlighted and we are acquainted with it in an elaborate manner.

31 december 2014 · 39 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the Tafsir of Surah Al Ikhlas which deals with the perfection of Allah and defends the Honour of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ would begin and end his day with Surah Al Ikhlas and hence, it is the most perfect Sunnah to abide by. Lees meer
Key aspects of this magnificent Surah:
Allah is unique and no one is like Him. Allah is As Samad - He is the One who is Perfect in Himself and also it means the One to whom every creation must turn to.
Allah is unique in the way that He has no children nor did anyone give birth to Him.
Allah has nothing equal or similar to Him.A brief lecture is given on Prophet Isa AS and what is his stature in Islam and how we are different in our beliefs as opposed to other religions.
He is the only one who spoke as if he is giving a sermon from the cradle itself.
He performed miracles the likes of which no one ever performed.
His birth was miraculous as he had no father and even then, his mother Maryam AS was not humiliated or asked about this birth.
He was raised by Allah after a failed assassination attemptat the hands of the Jews. He was not killed or crucified contrary to Christian belief. -
Dunya vs Akhriah - Focusing on Hereafter over this world
31 december 2014 · 35 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi delves into numerous magnificent Quranic verses and Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ pertaining to the stark, temporary reality of this world as opposed to the permanence of the Hereafter. Lees meer
"And the life to come: that is the real life, if they but knew!"
This verse of the Qur'an forever reminds us of the world being a place of delusion, enticement,persuasion and temptation enamoring us by the foolishness of indulging in materialism. Yet our weak Iman fails to ignite the true worry for the Hereafter and part with the transience of this world and how we should be in the pursuit for its preparation.
As is also narrated in a Hadith reported by Abu Huraira RA, the Prophet ﷺ said, “Wretched is the slave of gold, silver, fine clothes, and garments. If he is given he is pleased, but if he is not given he is displeased.”

Death The Inevitable Reality
31 december 2014 · 36 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses the inevitable reality of death and how we should prepare for it. Lees meer
Death is a necessary part of our life and we cannot deny it no matter how much we are averse to talking about it. Death is as much a reality as is your life.
Of the mysteries of death is the timing of our death and no one can change the timing of death and the location is also kept a secret even from the angel of death.
The first sign of death is the Sakaratul Maut or the pangs of death. They are the precursor to the arrival of the angel of death.
The death of the righteous is different from that of a Fasiq. The entourage that greets these two types of Muslims is very different. The righteous sees angels of mercy that will be calming him down and reassuring him of care for his family in the world.
Angels Munkar or Nakeer will come to you in your grave and ask the following questions:
Who is your Lord and what is your religion?
Who is Muhammad ﷺ?
How did you live your life?What happens to a disbeliever? What do the angels of punishment do to him? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi explains explicitly on the torture that he will be faced with. Listen intently to save ourselves from it when there is the time.
Our Prophet ﷺ said, 'Frequently remember the destroyer of pleasures' implying death.

A Meeting With The Divine To Establish The Prayer
31 december 2014 · 35 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses at length the origin of Salah and its profound necessity in our lives. Every single pillar of Islam was ordained by Allah through Jibreel AS to the Prophet ﷺ. But only for Salah, Allah communicated directly with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in His Divinity. Such is the stature of Salah. Lees meer
While Prophet Ibrahim and Ismail AS are building the Ka’bah, Ibrahim AS says, “O my Rabb make ME amongst those who establish the Salah, me and my children, Our Lord, and accept my supplication.” Surah Ibrahim
The very first commandment that Allah gave to Prophet Musa AS, He said, “I am Allah, there is no deity worthy of worship except Me so worship Me and establish the Salah to remember Me. ” Surah Taha
The infant Prophet Isa AS said, “I am a servant of Allah, Allah has granted me the wisdom and given me the book, and He has made me a Prophet, and He has made me Blessed wheresoever I may be and He has commanded that I pray and give charity as long as I live.”- Surah Maryam
The Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ Seerah is sufficient enough to highlight the prominence of Salah. The Night of Isra Wal Miraj gave us the blessing of 5 times Salah in a day.
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi hence, implores us to establish prayer and get rid of all the invalid excuses we make to not obey this most important command of Allah. We will be questioned about Salah before anything else on the Day of Judgement.
“The Prayer Prohibits you from vulgarities, obscenities and other sins.”
[Surah Ankabut]
The last words of the Prophet ﷺ on his deathbed are, “As-salaah, as-salaah! Wat-taqullah fee ma malakat aymanukum.”Hence, his only request to the Muslim Ummah even during his final moments was only and only to establish prayer sincerely and never lose track of it.

7 Blessings Of Good Manners
31 december 2014 · 36 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi explicitly elaborates on the importance of having good manners in Islam. What constitutes good manners? Some of them are listed below. Lees meer
Our Prophet ﷺ said, "Verily, I have only been sent to perfect good manners."
Whenever someone came to the Prophet ﷺ for advice, it always was more often than not related to perfection of good manners.
People can be never given a better blessing from Allah than good manners. It is the best treasure one can have.
The Prophet ﷺ said that a righteous Muslim can achieve the level of an elite Muslim who is firm in fasting and praying by simply having good manners.
Our Prophet ﷺ said that having good manners is a sign of Iman.
Allah loves good manners and He hates debased manners.
Good manners are the weightiest and heaviest things on the Meezan on the Day of Judgement apart from Iman and Taqwa.
Our Akhlaq will dictate our closeness with the Prophet ﷺ on the Day of Judgement as is mentioned in a Hadith. -
The Family And Raising Children
22 december 2014 · 44 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the topic of family and children in this important lecture. Lees meer
Children are one of the greatest blessing from Allah but with every blessing comes responsibility.How do we take charge of status of the relationship between ourselves and our children? How do we raise our children in the most impeccable manner so that they too make the best of families?
Taking care of children transcends religion. For instance, when our Prophet ﷺ was engaged in Salah in the most humble position of sujood, his grandchild Hassan RA jumped onto his back and our Prophet ﷺ lengthened his sujood so that Hassan RA would not fall off and get hurt. Our Prophet ﷺ loved children and he would often show his love by kissing his grandchildren Hassan RA and Hussain RA and playing with them.
Why do we coerce our parents into praying Salah at its stipulated times with utmost authority? The reason is a very selfish one and Shaykh Yasir explains that it is because we make our children understand that there is an authority that is above parents too and that is Allah SWT.

With Every Difficulty There Is Ease
22 december 2014 · 35 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses in this Khutbah a short tafseer of Surah Ash-Sharh. Allah’s love for His worshippers is shown by putting them through trials and tribulations in this world. Lees meer
We are reminded of the things Allah has bestowed upon us which include innumerable blessings. Hence, it is binding upon us to be thankful for them and always look at life with a positive outlook and have a productive life. Each blessing bestowed upon our Prophet ﷺ is also a blessing for us.
Never does Allah send down something difficult that simultaneously He sends down the ease too. With every difficulty that is sent, comes two ease. It is also essential to remember that if we assign our ultimate goal to solely be the pleasure of Allah, then the problems of this dunya will sound so trivial and most of the time cease to exist. He who has Allah has everything. We are the owners of the treasure that has been handed out to us being Muslims.

The Surah bears testimony and highlights the magnanimity of the Prophet ﷺ as opposed to the misguided who reject him and his guidance. Lees meer

22 december 2014 · 40 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi dedicates this lecture to an oft-neglected topic of how does one’s heart harden over time and how to cure the diseases of the heart and make them soft, pure, calm and peaceful.
"The day that neither wealth nor sons will be of any benefit except for he who comes to Allah with a pure heart."
[The Noble Qur'an, 26:88-89]

It is incumbent upon us to cleanse our hearts of the inherent evil which we feed it in order to relish the sweetness and purity of true faith and submission to our Almighty SWT.

Unity does not mean Uniformity & The Hadith of the 73 sects
19 december 2014 · 1 uur 3 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi in this riveting and eye opening lecture, explicitly delves into the topic of unity amongst Muslims and how unity can be achieved when the Ummah is divided in their various interpretations of Islam as we speak. Lees meer
The Prophet ﷺ said, "My Ummah will divide into seventy-three sects all of which except one will go to the Fire, and they (i.e. the Saved Sect) are those who are upon what I and My Companions are upon."
Using the above Hadith, many overtly enthusiastic and ill-knowledge youth and members of the Muslim community bring about various conversations that tend to malign the peace and beliefs of the Muslim Ummah leading to a natural divide and barrier that is very hard to annihilate.
Even as we say so, one major question comes to mind - Are the majority of the Ummah misguided? does every deviation direct one to the Hell Fire?
And the final million dollar question along the lines of the aforementioned Hadith- Which group is ‘ The Saved Sect’?
Listen intently and get those doubts answered once and for all.

Characteristics of Jinn:
Jinn was created before man.From what is it created?

They eavesdrop on the angels.Forms of Jinn:
Some are in the form of snakes and dogs.

Swamped In Sins And The Valley Of Despair
18 december 2014 · 36 min
In this heart wrenching and motivational talk, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi deals with the issues of humans being afflicted and swamped in sins and its after effects.
O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when He calls you to that which gives you life!
[Surat Al-'Anfal, verse 24]
The gist of the lecture is that if we remain steadfast in the path of Allah SWT, then our physical and spiritual existence will be of significance and merit. But if we deviate from the path of Allah and the teachings of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then our physical and spiritual existence is doomed and it will culminate in the hardening of our hearts and we will be held accountable for it on the Day of Judgement. Lees meerWe should find comfort and solace in the belief that every predicament, calamity and distress will only be sent down such that we turn to Allah for guidance and help and He will not resolve it.

The Shaping Of The Modern Muslim World - PT 1
18 december 2014 · 1 uur 38 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi embarks on a meaningful, necessary,enthralling and enlightening journey to acquaint us with the occurrences a hundred years ago that preceded the beginning of the modern Muslim world. Lees meer
The year of 1914 was a landmark year of sorts in terms of abolishment of the Islamic Caliphate and the division of Muslim lands into the modern countries of the Middle East that we are well aware of. This happened primarily due to a series of catastrophic political and social changes in the world.
As a lesson that we as Muslims need to imbibe and inculcate , is that we need to learn from our past mistakes that happened in those 100 years and make genuine efforts to refrain from repeating them. The deceit, betrayal and treachery of European powers and also by the local Muslim leaders of the time should teach us to get our act straight before it is too late.

Seerah 98 Marital dispute with the Wives
17 december 2014 · 1 uur 15 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now divulges details on a very important incident in the life of the Prophet ﷺ - the 'Ilaa'. Lees meer
What is Ilaa? It's an oath made to Allah, wherein the husband can choose to stay away from his wife in the event of a marital dispute or clash for a period less than 4 months.
Allah revealed Qur'an because of this incident where the Prophet ﷺ took abstinence from his wives for a month. This was when he was married to all 9 of his wives - Sauda, A'isha, Umme Salama, Juwayriyya bint al-Harith, Zainab bint Jahsh, Umme Habiba, Safiya bint Huyay, Ramla bint Abi Sufyan and Maymunah bint al-Harith RA.
For want of a better lifestyle and mode of living, the two wives of the Prophet ﷺ - Aisha RA and Hafsa RA - went to him and pressured him into leaning towards their idea. This resulted in the rumours doing the rounds after some time about the Prophet ﷺ having divorced his wives. This news made its way to Umar RA was was flabbergasted and made a rush to the home of the Prophet ﷺ to inquire into the matter.
The Prophet ﷺ was housed in the attic room of his house where after seeking permission from the servant for the third time, he gained entry into the room. After some conversation, he understood that the Prophet ﷺ had taken an oath to Allah that he would abstain from his wives for one month.
After the duration of this one month had finished, he made a visit to the house of A'isha RA. And he asked her a few things based on the revelation that the Prophet ﷺ had received in Surah Ahzab verses 28-29. What was it? Listen intently.
Based on that, the Prophet ﷺ asked his wives to make a decision. That what was their preference? A lifestyle of richness and bliss (which would be theirs but in exchange for the loss of the companionship of the Prophet ﷺ) or a lifestyle of humbleness and servitude, which could only be achieved with the Prophet ﷺ by their side and they would be blessed with rewards in this life and the Hereafter.
It was obviously a no brainer for the wiv…

Towards an Ecumenical Conception of Salafiyyah
7 december 2014 · 44 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi delves into a topic that is marred by uncertainties and it is Salafism. In this lecture, he takes on the challenge to dissect the doubts in our mind regarding the Salafī movement and we are also provided with answers on how to maintain unity in the wake of this predicament. Lees meer
In earlier era,the term 'Salafī' resonates with an Islamic methodology whose primary motive is the emulation of the Prophet ﷺ. In this, the era of the Prophet ﷺ, his teachings, the Revelations and similar facts are put into use to perfect the pure and perfect religion of Islam.
Despite this, the people who follow make or break a methodology as is the case here. The textual ideals of Salafism devoid of imbibing practicality in the real world we live, makes it a problem and errors are bound to surface. This is exactly what has happened over the years and these inconsistencies have cost the pillar of Salafism to be surrounded by doubt.
Hence, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi implores the followers of Salafism to adopt a more ecumenical approach so that their heritage doesn't crumble and holds firm.

Seerah – 97 Maria the Copt & Death of Ibrahim
7 december 2014 · 1 uur 14 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now moves on to discuss the predicaments that were a part of the life of the Prophet ﷺ. Lees meer
The major part of this lecture is focussed on yet another tragedy in the life of the Prophet ﷺ - the death of his son, Ibrahim. The mother of Ibrahim was Maria RA.
Who was Maria or Maria bint Shamun? She was gifted to the Prophet ﷺ by Juraih ibn Mina who was the king of Egypt. The reason for this gift was in reply to the letter that the Prophet ﷺ had sent him to convert to Islam. The king sent two sister slave girls - Maria and Sireen.
The Prophet ﷺ gifted Sireen to Hassan ibn Thabit RA and this union resulted in a son named Abdur Rahman ibn Hassan ibn Thabit.
Though the Prophet ﷺ was gifted Maria and she also bore the Prophet ﷺ a son, we do not as Muslims view her as a mother of the believers.the reason being she was a concubine initially, who when bore a son, got upgraded to the stature of Umm Walad. This meant that she was a wife to the Prophet ﷺ and her son was a valid inheritor of the possessions of the Prophet ﷺ. And, after the death of the Prophet ﷺ, she was free.
In Dhul Hijjah of the 8H, Maria gave birth to Ibrahim. But this happiness of the Prophet ﷺ was only short lived. Ibrahim lived for a year and four months only and sickness got the better of him. The Prophet SAW prayed his Janazah and he was buried in Jannatul Baqee where he remains till this day.
Numerous controversies and issues cropped up relating to Maria RA and a few make the cut in this lecture. Among them, is with regards to Aisha and Hafsa RA. what happened? Why were verses revealed in the Qur'an about this issue? What was the result of this issue? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi explains.

Seerah – 96 The Year of Delegations - Part 3
26 november 2014 · 1 uur 20 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi continues about the delegations sent and we are in the final part of this topic. Lees meer
The delegations are as follows:
Banu Hanifa - The leader was Musaylimah al Khadhab
Azd - The large tribes of Yemen, who were placed under Surad ibn Abd'Allah al Azdi
Himyar, from Yemen
Banu Kuld
Christians of NajranAnd many more.
Thus, we see that in the 9 H, Islam expanded considerably in Arabia such as that from Yemen, Najran, Oman, Najd etc. Hence, an Islamic State is formed and history is created in the fact that the entire Muslim Ummah is joined under one political entity.
We learn numerous things from the incidents :
People exhibit different levels of Iman and not everyone falls in the same stature as that of Abu Bakr RA, Umar RA and more such greats of Islam.
Masjids can also function as a place of hospitality for the Non Muslims and there is no issue with that as is seen in the case of the tribe of Taqif.
On the arrival of delegates, the onus is upon us to host them to the best of our ability and means as deemed fit. -
95 The Year of Delegations - Part 2
26 november 2014 · 1 uur 15 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi continues to divulge details on the different delegations that were sent as part of their prerogative to make as many as possible people convert to Islam. Lees meer
A few listed in this lecture are as follows:
Wa'il ibn Hujr - He is from the town of Hadramaut, Yemen
Delegation of Taif - Urwah ibn Mas'ud, who was the leader of the Taqif tribe in Taif accepted Islam.The conversion of the pagans of Taqif was a long and arduous process as their belief in idols was unparalleled. How did the impossible then become possible? Listen intently to discover interesting facts.
An interesting issue that happened in Taif is relating to the statement made by the Prophet ﷺ to the people of Taif wherein he told them initially that they need not pay Zakat and do Jihad, only to withdraw the statement and reverse his statement. What made him do this?
He believed that the light of Iman would finally make a foray into their hearts even though they were opposing now.
The leader has the right to accept aforesaid conditions for new Muslims for a short duration of time but he can at any point in time reverse his decision in order to implement the right rules of Islam. -

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi divulges details on the happenings of the 9th year of Hijrah which is also called the ‘ Year of Delegations'. It is not as if delegations did not happen prior to this, but this year was special as the number had reached large numbers. Lees meer
What comprises a delegation? It is when a tribe sends a representative to negotiate with the Prophet ﷺ on their eagerness to embrace Islam or not.
There are 15 delegations of interest and are discussed elaborately. Some of the delegations discussed in this lecture are:
Abdul Qais - the Christian tribe who lived close to modern day Bahrain.
Banu Sa'd ibn Bakr the tribe of Haleema RA.
Banu Amr ibn Sa'sa - the tribe that was responsible for the well of Bir Maoona
Tamim ad Dari - a christian from a northern tribe.There is also an interesting miracle that transpired when the tribe of Muzayana came to embrace Islam and the Prophet ﷺ asked Umar RA to refill their food supplies. What was this miracle? Listen intently as Shaykh Yasir answers.

93 Tafsir of Surat AtTawbah & Tabuk
26 november 2014 · 1 uur 16 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now elaborates on the tafsir of Surah Tawbah in the light of the Battle of Tabuk. Lees meer
After the return of the Prophet ﷺ, there was the death of the leader of the Munafiqun - Abdullah ibn Ubayy ibn Salool, who was involved in the battle of Uhud where he backstabbed the Muslims and also played a major part in the horrendous and most terrible deed which is the slander of Aisha RA.
Another topic of discussion is the beginning of Surah Tawbah. It is the only Surah which does not begin with 'Bismillah.' Why is there no Bismillah? There are two opinions which warrant some understanding:
Uthman RA , who was in charge of the compilation of the Mushaf , said that the reason for this was the joining of Tawbah with Anfal because the content is basically the same.
When Ali RA was asked by one of his sons about the same question, he said that Surah Tawbah is precisely when Allah cuts off his ties with the pagans and thus, it is deemed unfit to begin the Surah with mercy and so is the case for the rest of the Surah which is very harsh.The tafseer of this powerful Surah Tawbah is explicitly explained and we gather unsurmountable evidence on the plight of the pagans in the wake of disobedience to Islam.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now moves to the final part in the series related to the famous Battle of Tabuk. Lees meer
We begin with the six things that the Prophet ﷺ instructed to be counted before the Day of Judgement. Among them, a few are:
The death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
The conquest of Baitul Maqdas .
Two plagues that would eliminate .
A fitnah that no house of the Arabs (Muslims) will be unaffected by it.
A truce between Muslims and Romans."A prominent incident that transpired in the duration of Tabuk 20 nights was related to Abdur Rahman ibn Awf RA what was this coveted privilege and honour? He was only among the two behind whom the Prophet ﷺ prayed in his lifetime.
Also, in this time,Abdullah dhul be Jardain died and the Prophet ﷺ showed his ultimate care and affection for his people by giving him a befitting burial.
On the way back from Tabuk, a number of events unfolded. The Prophet ﷺ passed by Al Hijr, the place of Thamud and the people of Saleh. The Sahabas were perplexed and enquired him about the same. What did the Prophet ﷺ answer? What was the wisdom behind this? Shaykh Yasir answers.
Another appalling incident that happened was the assassination attempt made on the Prophet ﷺ by the Munafiqun. When the Prophet ﷺ was atop a cliff on a dangerous location along with Ammar ibn Yasir and Hudhayfa, some bandits attempted to take charge of the camel of the Prophet ﷺ. They were going to throw the Prophet ﷺ from the cliff and obviously they failed badly due to Allah’s help.
The Prophet ﷺ finally returned back to Madinah after almost 50 to 60 days and he was welcomed rejoicing by the people of Thaniyatul Wada'a.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now discusses the happenings on leaving Madinah enroute the Battle of Tabuk by the Prophet ﷺ. Lees meer
Post passing the Thaniyat Al Wada, the Prophet ﷺ paused to organise the troops into battalions, leaders, sub-leaders and many more such divisions. Mu'adh ibn Jabal RA narrated that the Prophet ﷺ prayed Fajr on the way to Tabuk where he stayed for 20 days and the people were on their camels. An incident happened there relating the camels which makes for an interesting listen. The Prophet ﷺ gave a Khutbah the first thing in the morning of their arrival to Tabuk.
In addition to the above incident, he also sent Khalid ibn Waleed with a small entourage on a mini expedition to one of the neighbouring tribes in Tabuk called Jomatul Jandan which was a very famous and one of the largest Christian Arab tribes in Arabia. They were on amicable terms with the then emperor of Rome and were renowned for their bravery and warriorship,
The Prophet ﷺ gave clear instructions to Khalid Ibn Waleed RA of the whereabouts of their chieftain - Ookaydil and how he ought to be captured.he followed the instructions to the tee. Though it was a bit odd, Khalid RA achieved success and the emperor was captured and brought to the Prophet SAW where he agreed to sever all ties with the Romans, pay the jizya to the Prophet ﷺ, and not harm the Muslims. In a similar fashion, other tribe leaders also agreed to side with the Muslims and hence, imminent victory against the Romans was a given.

13 oktober 2014 · 1 uur 21 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now elaborates on the events that are happening in preparation for the Battle of Tabuk. Lees meer
Amongst them, the first and foremost is the collection of money for the Battle. Many incidents occur in this time such as the famous incident of the competition between Abu Bakr As Siddeeq RA and Umar Ibn Al Khattab RA for the largest amount of money that would be given. Eventually, Umar RA had to accept defeat at the hands of Abu Bakr RA as he knew heart in heart that it would be impossible to match what Abu Bakr RA was ready to part with to please the Prophet ﷺ.
Other incidents that occur are related to Abdur Rahman ibn Awf RA who gave 200 ooqiyas for the battle.but the story that triumphs all of these is the story of Uthman ibn Affan RA who gave the largest amount of his wealth for the battle.
The story of Al Waathida Al Asqa is also an interesting one where he had promised a reward of granting his share of the Ghanimah for the one who would take him on the Ghazwa (he was a bit delayed). The story of Abu Kaythama al Ansari is next up for discussion and his situation was almost the same as that of Ka’b Ibn Malik. But he ultimately made it. How did it happen? Also, an interesting incident is related to Abu Dharr al Gifaali who seemed to be having some problems with his camel.
The construction of the Masjid Durar by ibn Salool stands out as one of the key developments of the battle of Tabuk. What was Allah’s instruction to the Prophet ﷺ on this Masjid?
Allah revealed Surah Tawbah from verse 107 to 108 highlighting this particular masjid as a cause of harm, kuffar, division of the believers,pain and immense suffering and hence, Allah asked the Prophet ﷺ to not step inside or anywhere in the vicinity of the Masjid.

89 Story of Ka'b b. Malik
13 oktober 2014 · 1 uur 17 min
Shaykh yasir Qadhi continues to shed light on Ka’b Ibn Malik and how he got his forgiveness from Allah and what transpired next. Lees meer
When Ka’b Ibn Malik heard that he had been forgiven and all the Sahaba had rushed to congratulate him for the same, he rushed to meet the Prophet ﷺ where Talhah Bin Ubaidillah stood up to greet him. This was a huge moment for Ka’b and he cherished it to the most.
There are numerous benefits that one can derive from the story of this sahaba, some of which are listed below:
The permissibility of telling the stories of sinners and repenters.
The permissibility of boasting of your achievements.
The continuity of the nobility of your existence.
Narration of sins if confined to permissible limits.
The stature of the sacrifice done by the Sahaba in the way of Islam and as a measure of complete obedience to the Prophet ﷺ.
The measure of ur Tawbah is decisive on the measure of the guilt you feel.
The mishaps of delays and procrastination
The importance of commiting to always say the truth.
Hypocrisy is valid when excuses are made to accomplish good deeds.
Clear confrontation with your frank feelings when dealing with a Muslim.
Necessity of being a bit harsh when required.
Pain and suffering cleanses us of our sins.
Victory is eminent at our weakest moment and in the darkest time.We also derive Fiqh benefits from this beautiful story:
The permissibility of non Muslims entering Mecca and Madinah albeit for a legitimate reason.
Buying and selling from people of other faiths.
Permissibility of entering the semi private property of someone when one is certain that it would not be a cause of concern or dispute.

Seerah – 88 Battle of Tabuk 2
24 september 2014 · 1 uur 8 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi divulges details about the Battle of Tabuk and we gather some more details. Lees meer
In this lecture, the most prominent story that is discussed is that of Ka'b ibn Malik and what transpired with him in the time of the battle of Tabuk. We also extrapolate valid lessons to imbibe and inculcate regarding sins and their repentance.
Who was Ka'b ibn Malik? He was from the Ansar, particularly from the tribe of Banu Salama. He has the honour of converting to Islam before the Prophet ﷺ immigrated and also was a part of the Baiatul Aqabah.
Procrastination became the ultimate undoing of Ka'b Ibn Malik when he could not be a part of the Ghazwa Tabuk. But he was defended wholly by Mu'adh ibn Jabal RA. When the Prophet ﷺ returned to Madinah, Ka'b Ibn Malik rushed to offer his apologies with the hope that he would be forgiven. But he along with Murara ibn Rabiah and Hilal ibn Umayyah were forbidden from being talked to by anyone in the entire city of Madinah for 50 nights.
Meanwhile, he also receives a letter from the Gassanid king asking him to side with them - only with the sole purpose of destroying the unity and brotherhood of the Muslims and also to comprehend the functioning of the Muslims in order to be better prepared.
What happens at the end of 50 nights? Does he get acceptance of the repentance he had so wholeheartedly wished for and for which he tried his ultimate best? Yes, Allah did accept their repentance after 60 nights.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now moves on to the topic of the battle of Tabuk and a detailed description is discussed in the lecture. Lees meer
The battle of Tabuk took place in the month of Rajab, 9 H. What was the reason behind the occurrence of this battle?The meaning of Tabuk is shared and we get the reference from the Prophet ﷺ when he refers it to a type of spring. Why did the name of the battle get named so? Listen intently to discover the details. Another name that is synonymous with this Ghazwa is that of 'Jaysh Al Usra'. What is the reasoning behind this? It is an interesting one.
This particular battle was a very difficult one. There are some reasons for this:
The size of the Muslim army was the largest that Arabia had ever seen.
The length of the distance that had to be undertaken by the Muslim army was the largest that they had ever attempted.The Prophet ﷺ began accumulating funds for the battle and clearly, a huge amount was required. Most of the Sahabas contributed generously and the largest share was that of Uthman Ibn Affan RA.

85 Miracles of Prophet Muhammad
31 augustus 2014 · 1 uur 18 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now delves into a very interesting and mesmerising topic which is the miracles of the Prophet ﷺ. Lees meer
What is a mu'jiza or a miracle? A mu'jiza is anything that the remainder of mankind is incapable of recreating and it is something that we are unaccustomed to. It proves the claim of Prophethood to a large extent but it is not the only factor for designating oneself as a Prophet. It is the sunnah of Allah that he has sent Prophets with miracles to reassert the fact that the human who is a Prophet has been sent down by Allah SWT.
Imam al Bayhaqi accounts around 1000 miracles that have occurred in the life of the Prophet ﷺ. Hatim ibn Hajar, the master of hadith, quotes Imam Nawawi that there are approximately 1200 miracles documented from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
There are 10 categories of miracles that transpired in the life of the Prophet ﷺ:
Miracles related to inanimate objects.
Miracles with animals.
Miracles with food and water.
Allah’s protection given to the Prophet ﷺ.
Knowledge of the unseen given to the Prophet ﷺ.
Predictions of the future.
The healing of the Prophet ﷺ.
Immediate response to his Dua.
Stories of the previous Prophets.

Next, the Shaykh discusses the rewards and benefits of Umrah, followed by the Fiqh rulings and most common issues pertaining to Umrah to the house of Allah.
The Prophet ﷺ performed four Umrahs in his lifetime - an Umrah during Dhul-Qa'dah; the Umrah of Al-Hudaibiyah, an Umrah with his Hajj, and an Umrah from Al-Ji'ranah when he divided up the war spoils of Hunain.

Du'a of Adam Vs. Du'a of Shaytan
17 juni 2014 · 29 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi makes a critical analysis in the magnitude of difference between the Du'a of Adam AS and the Du'a of Shaytan. Lees meer
After eating from the forbidden tree as against the command of Allah, Adam AS supplicated for forgiveness in front of Allah SWT and Allah in His Infinite Mercy forgave Adam AS.
In a similar fashion, Shaytan or Iblis too supplicated to Allah SWT after disobeying His command. Iblis was also granted what he wished for.
So, what is the difference between these two situations? The difference lies in what was asked and how it was asked to Allah. Listen intently and be riveted in the lecture.

13 mei 2014 · 58 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the story behind the conversion to Islam of one of the most illustrious poet of the time - Ka'b ibn Zuhayr who was the son of Zuhayr ibn Abi Salma. Zuhayr was a celebrated poet himself having written the seven hanging poems. He had died before the advent of Islam but his son Ka'ab had huge animosity for the Muslims writing poetry against them and also belittling women in the worst way possible. Lees meer
Ka'ab thought about conversion to Islam on the insistence of his newly converted Muslim brother and this brings him to Madinah to the Prophet ﷺ. And he eventually does enter the religion of Islam. How does it happen? Listen intently.
'The poem of Banat Su'ad' is an important topic for discussion which was given the name - 'the poem of the Burda'.how did this come to be?what is the story behind this?There are two Burdas: the original Burda (cloak) which is the original one and this is was written by Ka'b.
When the Prophet ﷺ heard this poem, he was immensely moved and hence, he took off his cloak and handed it to him. Imagine! This could be the unparalleled prestige and honour that could be granted to a poet. The version of the Burda that is commonly recited in this time is - the Burda of Busairi.

83 Battle of Hunayn Part 2

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi makes a detailed lecture on the incidents that transpired in the battle of Hunayn. Lees meer
When the Muslims were helped by the angels sent down by Allah during the course of this battle, some of them did see the angels or felt their presence and one amongst them was Jubayr ibn Mut'im who was the son of Mut'im ibn Adi.
The returns of the battle, the ghaneema was the most that the Muslims had ever laid hands upon - 24,000 camels, 40,000 goats and much more. The Prophet ﷺ accumulated all this in a valley called Ji'ranah.
When the returns of the war were being distributed amongst the Quraysh such as Abu Sufyan, Safwan etc, the Ansar had a feeling of being left out from this although they were an essential part of the battle and they were the most trusted of the lot to the Prophet ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ senses and asks for all the Ansar to be gathered in one room. What transpires next? What does the Prophet ﷺ say to them? Does it have the desired effect? What is the wisdom in the decision made? Get all these answers by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi and take a moment to feel mesmerised by the man that Prophet ﷺ is.
The story of Shayma is next up in line for discussion and is an interesting one that is worth a listen.
The battles of Badr and Hunayn have been mentioned in the Qur'an and there are similarities of sorts in both these battles. How so? Badr was a spiritual victory and Hunayn was a financial victory. Allah sent angels down in both these Ghazwa and also, the Muslims won these battles because of the appropriate and timely assistance that was meted out to them in the difficult, trying and testing times.
The next point is the Umrah that the Prophet ﷺ did from Jiranah. How many Umrahs have been done by the Prophet ﷺ? And how did they happen? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi answers.

Seerah – 82 Battle of Hunayn Part 1
23 april 2014 · 1 uur 4 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi now moves on to the Battle of Hunayn and what set this battle into action and all the other relevant details. Lees meer
The Prophet ﷺ was weary of the news doing the rounds of the possible attack of the tribe of Ta’if - Taqif and the Hawazim in order for them to regain control of the Kaaba, to gain leadership of mecca after the Quraysh who had been defeated and also to re assume idolatry.
The Prophet ﷺ after gaining help from some , headed towards Hunayn and arrived there on the 10th of Shawwal. The chieftain of the tribe of Taif was Malik ibn Awf A-Nasri.
The Taqif knew their area inside out thoroughly which was a given. They used it fully to their advantage. They tricked the Muslims into gathering in a valley by presenting some of their army members while in reality, their archers were mounted atop the mountains and were waiting patiently for all the Muslims to gather collectively. This is when the Taqif started bombarding the Muslims with arrows and this led the Muslims to flee like there was no tomorrow.
The Prophet ﷺ witnessed this and made a plea citing tribal loyalty and love for Islam as the enticing factors to bring back the Muslim to the battlefield. He first called the allegiance bearers of Hudaybiyyah followed by the Ansar and then the rest. When they had all been brought to the valley, the Prophet ﷺ threw dust onto the face of the archers and they were left completely blinded and hence, the arrows proved useless in this scenario.

16 april 2014 · 1 uur 13 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi sets the tone for the conclusion of the series on the conquest of Mecca by sharing the benefits, morals and Fiqh in this regard. The conversions of two people are discussed in the start and they are Umme Hane and Abdullah ibn Za'bari. Lees meer
During the 19 day stay of the Prophet ﷺ in Mecca, he taught a few important things:
The sanctity of Mecca was reinstated.
Prohibition of sale of alcohol, idols and carcasses.
Prohibition of zawaaj mut'ah.In this time,he also sent a number of expeditions around Mecca to spread the message of Islam to the neighboring tribes and destruction of all forms of idols. The temple idols were destroyed on the instruction of the Prophet ﷺ to Khalid Ibn Waleed RA.
Khalid Ibn Waleed once made a serious lapse of judgement and committed a grave error and this involved the tribe of Banu Jadeema. He was entrusted with the job of inviting them to Islam. But a misunderstanding ensues. What was it? What prompted Khalid RA to kill them? Listen intently and discover.
When the sad news reached the Prophet ﷺ, he stood up, faced the Ka'bah and raised his hands. What did he say?
A few Fiqh benefits we derive from this lecture:
Women are permitted to take money from the husband without their knowledge if done for a valid reason.
Sale of a Haraam item is also haram.
Salatul Duha was prayed in 8 rakaat by the Prophet ﷺ. -

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi continues from the previous video and we get acquainted with many more incidents and happy turn of events post the Khutbah of the Prophet ﷺ standing in front of the door of the Ka’bah. Lees meer
The first thing he does is assigning Bilal RA the coveted, prestigious and honourable task of standing on top of the Ka'bah and giving the Adhan. Thus, Allah honoured Bilal RA to be the first ever muadhin in Mecca. The Qadr of Allah is highlighted here and should be celebrated. The very same man who used to cry out aloud while being persecuted is now the same voice that has been chosen by Allah SWT at the time of power.
How do the elites of the Quraysh such as Abu Sufyan, Harith ibn Hisham and Itaab ibn Aseer accept Islam despite being disbelievers even at the time of the Adhan by Bilal RA? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi divulges details.
The Prophet ﷺ now stays in Mecca for 19 days and is giving the oath of allegiance to the Quraysh men and women and the Ansar too.The bulk of the people swore allegiance but some delayed it among which were Fudaala ibn Ubaid, Safwan ibn Umayyah, Suhail ibn Amr and Abu Quhafa.

The Prophet ﷺ divided the entire Muslim army into three major contingents which were Ansaris, Muhajiroun and a mixture of the two. Sa'd ibn Ubadah was heading the Ansar and
Khalid ibn Waleed was heading the Muhajiroun and the middle army was being led by Abd Ubaidah Amr ibn Jarrah. Totally, there were 700 Muhajiroun, 4000 Ansar in the Muslim army. One incident that happened was the handing over of the banner to Zubair ibn Al Awwam from Sa’d. What happened that led to this incident?
On the 20th Ramadan, 8H, the Prophet ﷺ finally achieved victory over the city of Mecca. What did the Prophet ﷺ do when he emerged victorious? What were the things that he did as he went around Mecca celebrating his victory and the victory of the Muslims after 21 years? Listen intently and be mesmerised by the sheer beauty of the emotions running in his mind.

The Prophet ﷺ gave the keys of the Kaaba to Uthman ibn Talha who was handling this responsibility from before.
The conquest of Mecca was unique in every which way as in :

Zero prisoners of war
No land acquiredThe Prophet ﷺ did not give amnesty to the following people from Mecca:
Ikrimah ibn Jahal
Abdullah ibn Khatal
Mikyas ibn Subaba
Abdullah ibn Abi Sar'ah
Fartana
SarahWhat had they that they were deprived of mercy even though our beloved Prophet ﷺ was the epitome of mercy? Who were the ones who were executed? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi answers.
