Our Duty Towards Others Mar 26, 2019

Show notes

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the topic of how Islam spread in the world and what should constitute our approach as well in the same cause. Conversion to Islam happened voluntarily in the past. How did this come to be? The philosophy of the Sahabas to spread Islam was to give dawah to the people about our religion and what it meant to be a Muslim. The actions of the Muslims is the best way to make anyone accept the religion of Islam. The best example is that when the Prophet ﷺ migrated to Madinah, the Muslims were a mere 15% which rose to 90%. We are reminded of the first Khutbah which the Prophet ﷺ gave when he reached Madina. We consider that our religiosity is only measured by Ibadah and Salawat but in reality, this is far from the truth. We should be the embodiment of our religion in our mannerisms, Akhlaq, family, social and general way of life.

Show notes

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi gives a befitting conclusion on the topic of the first and blessed wife of the Prophet ﷺ - Khadija Bint Khuwaylid RA. In every major incident that takes place in the Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ in the first ten years of the Hijrah, Khadija RA is part of his household during the time. The refutation and ridicule of the Prophet ﷺ had to be dealt with by Khadija RA and she never listened to the Quraysh against her husband, the Noble Prophet ﷺ. In the 10th year of the Dawah, the boycott is lifted and the boycott and the harsh conditions in which Khadija RA was living took a toll on her health and she passed away soon after the boycott was lifted in the month of Ramadan. She was buried by the Prophet ﷺ with her own hands.at the time, the Sunnah of Salat Al Janazah was not legislated yet. Khadija RA is referenced in the Qur'an indirectly. Which is the verse? Listen intently to find out. The Prophet ﷺ was always cognizant of the favours Khadija RA had done for the Prophet ﷺ. How did the Prophet ﷺ repay this favour? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi elaborates beautifully. None of the women were sent Salaam by Allah SWT directly other than Khadija RA.

The Fitna of 'Celebrity Scholars' Feb 25, 2019

Show notes

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi addresses the elephant in the room - the issue of celebrity scholars. These scholars are an embodiment of Fitnah and we should vehemently discourage it. The story of Umar ibn al khattab RA and Ubayy Ibn Ka'b RA is brought to the fore by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi and we realise what points should we keep in mind to keep this menace at bay. We are advised to not link religion with one person. This is a big Fitnah. Islam is in no need for us. At time of fitnah, we should turn to Allah and follow the real Ulama instead of looking for the famed ones who may or may not have complete knowledge of all the things related to Islam.

She had 3 brothers and 1 sister- Hizam, Awwam, Nawfal and Hala Ibn Khuwaylid. A brief biography of Hakim Ibn Hizam is illustrated and he is the only person in the history of Islam to have been born inside the Ka'ba. He was the youngest member of the Nadwah Council at the age of 25. Nawfal ibn Khuwaylid was the youngest of the brothers of Khadija RA and he was an enemy of Islam. More details are shared about this lion of the Quraysh for his endless support to the Quraysh. Her sister's name is Hala Ibn Khuwaylid and accepted Islam. A Hadith is narrated mentioning her is shared with us. Waraqah ibn Nawfal ibn Asad is her first cousin.

Khadija’s cousin Barrah is the maternal grandmother of the Prophet ﷺ. Barrah is the mother of Aminah RA. How did Khadija RA meet the Prophet ﷺ?
