Three Levels of Aqida (Theology) | Sh Dr Yasir Qadhi

[@nischay1810]

I respect Dr Yasir Qadhi for his honesty.

[@hariranormal5584]

This is what our Ummah needs really. we are so alienated with our differences, and at this point you cannot even tell the kaffir is wrong because he has a point, look at us, we only argue for such small things and "what happened in 1491" like nobody cares . God didn't require us to know every single year in history and know every single great scholar, knowledge is only helpful if it's gonna be helpful practically.

Qadhi is well rounded individual and his achievements are very clear to see. He doesn't need approval from nobody or piece paper.

[@RIMJANESSOHMALOOG]

It’s weird that if u can ask a sahaba what’s their aqeedah, they’d tell u a very simple aqeedah in a sentence. Yet they were extremely fruitful in their actions and behaviour. While we learn pages and still be confused, and not fruitful at all. What’s the problem with us? Maybe this should be explored

[@Kbuit81]

Indeded: "And be not as those who divided and differed among themselves after the clear proofs had come to them. It is they for whom there is an awful torment" 3:105 2:213 "And none differed over the Scripture except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves." Allah never agrees to deviating from the straight path as those of us who try to unite the ummah upon falsehood. He only warns us all if we are amongst those who deviated from the path of the Prophet (pbuh) and his comnpanions.

[@crazycrypto9454]

I think you’re not contextualizing the environment these theologians faced during their times. The sahabas faced a Quraysh which were clear pagans so their message and belief were articulated simply. Fast forward where you are presented with several interpretations of monotheism baked into the complex belief systems inherited in the colonies. You need a much more refined explanation and understanding of your faith to differentiate and solidify why your path is the truth. Deeper articulation of the Quran and Sunnah needed to be applied to combat these foreign beliefs and be intellectually sound and superior to them to be legitimized as the absolute truth. Most Muslims do not see this as they live in theological bubbles completely absent of modern thought.

[@RIMJANESSOHMALOOG]

@@crazycrypto9454ur right that they had to protect the pure aqeedah. But it seems we the modern people, have to go over 1500 years of theological issues . We are handed the historical baggage and that’s not a good strategy. Aqeedah issues are like pandora boxes, when u open one, it creates other questions. I’d like to see a simple and updated aqeedah.

@@rathernot6660 In our islamic heritage there are multiple groups who have a different approach to some specific matters concerning islamic doctrine. This inevitably lead to discussions among these groups about these specific matters. Shaykh Yasir Qahdi is mostly talking about how to deal with these discussions and if those are actually the most important issues concerning islamic doctrine. To understand where he is coming from it’s crucial information to understand these discussions and the evolution of them. To understand these discussions one needs to know these different groups, their respective views, how these views came to be and how they evolved over time.

[@rathernot6660]

@@Ismail_ibn_Ishaq I disagree with you emphatically. You are looking at the religion and more so aqeedah with a secular lens and you want the religion to evolve to your circumstance. Audubillah.These are statements of misguidance and leads you away further from Qur'an and Sunnah Then, there aren't multiple aqaaid and this only exposes yasir Qadhi the deviant he is. The Deen has never evolved and your statement is therefore very troublesome. People have innovated into the religion and you claiming evolution of religion ie aqeedah, this is a misguidance and every misguidance leads to the Fire of Hell as Muhammad sallalahu alaihi wasallam stated so. The matter of fact it is the innovators of the religion that mention one should not delve into matters of aqeedah. This is incorrect as the first question when asked in the grave is? Who is your Lord. Yasir Qadhi wants you to accept multi faceted ideologies ie sects in Islam. This is abd is heresy eg acceptance of the shia Rafida cursing the Sahaba and Ali RA has godly status. Rather yasir Qadhi is only politically motivated and this essentially is a core Golden ikhwaani principle and is not scholarly. We go back to statements of Muhammad sallalahu and Quran and not signing an ikhwaani pledge whereby him and many Muslim so called intellectuals want to unite every Muslim upon misguidance. Yasir Qadhi lost his scholarly status the moment he came out of Yale university ie a kafir secular university. You're making it seem that only intellectuals can truly understand Islam. Contradicts your statement when today Islam is the fastest growing religion on the ground. I just wonder why. Stay away from yasir Qadhi and this channel actually.

How is everyone okay? And know that Allaah’s صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “My nation will divide into 73 sects; all of them shall be in the Fire except one, and it is the Jamaa`ah; the united body upon the truth.” It was said, “Who are they, O Messenger of Allaah?” He said, “That which I and my companions are upon today.” Reported by At-Tirmithee (2641) and by al-Haakim and by others, Al-Laalikaa’ee in As-Sunnah and by others besides from a hadeeth of `Abdullaah ibn `Amr ibn al `Aas radiyAllaahu `anhumaa. And Shaykh Al-Albaaniyy mentioned that this hadeeth is hasan; has supporting narrations for its final wording and declared it hasan.

[@faysalahmed9157]

@MAli99923 What is important to note here is that the criteria is to follow the sunnah of the Prophet (saw) and the methodology of the companions, and not the group. The way of the sahabas was not to make it a sectarian way. Rather, they focused on iman, ikhlas, ihsan, and Islam. One of the scholars beautifully said that you are not judged as a group but as an individual in the day of judgement, so from each group, there will be sincere people with good sincerity towards the truth (who do not follow the sectarian approach) and they will have good deeds - Allah swt would not count them among the sectarian people. On the day of judgement, you will be judged by your overall deeds. A person may be threatened with punishment because of certain deeds but may be forgiven because of his/her overall good deeds, or he/she may enter hell for a temporary period but then will come out eventually and be with the believers in the jannah. What matters is your deeds and not your slogans, labels, or attachments - yes, they may be important for distinction yourself in this dunya, but in they eyes of Allah what matters is our Ikhlas, iman, ihsan and amal.

The Ibadi agree with the Ashari on the doctrine of kasb (acquisition) the Mutazali do not. The Ibadi agree with the Ashari that morality comes from revelation and not human reasoning. The Mutazali do not agree. Shaykh Salman Al Ouda (may Allah grant him release) he came to Oman.

Practicality over dogma, people! - **Level Three Complexity**: You studied all the schools and thought, “Why not find the good in everyone?” Here’s the kicker: despite the cognitive dissonance, it’s all about realizing that these schools are more human than divine. Shocking, right? - **Critics and Controversies**: Spoiler alert: historical debates are less about divine mandates and more about human interpretation. Time to stop treating every disagreement like it’s a cosmic battle of good vs. evil. - **Blank Slate for Modernity**: Dr. Qadhi suggests we should start fresh, asking today’s teens what really bothers them instead of resurrecting ancient controversies. Because nothing says “progress” like a room full of confused teenagers! - **Cognitive Dissonance is Real**: Everyone’s cozying up, but deep down, are we really brothers? If you think your interpretation is the only correct one, enjoy your inner turmoil while trying to bridge the gap. - **Future of Islamic Theology**: The goal? To raise the intellectual bar while minimizing drama. Because who needs controversy when you can just agree to disagree... or maybe not!

form can be compared to the baby kitten. Those who worship the formless Brahman have the onus of progressing on the path by themselves, because Brahman does not bestow grace upon them. Brahman is not only formless, It is also without attributes. It has been described as nirguṇa (without qualities), nirviśheṣh (without attributes), and nirākār (without form). From this, it follows that Brahman does not manifest the quality of grace. The jñānīs who worship God as nirguṇa, nirviśheṣh, and nirākār, have to rely entirely upon self-effort for progress. On the other hand, the personal form of God is an ocean of compassion and mercy. Hence, devotees of the personal form receive the help of divine support in their sādhanā. On the basis of the protection that God bestows upon His devotees,

Great discussion and I Love brother Dr. Yasir Qadhi (YALE Phd), it is just that too much intellectualism and this is NOT the way. The intellect only will take you to the door but not inside, metaphorically speaking. May Allah give us hidaya and show us the straight path and NOT intellectual shortsightedness powered by big Ego.With all humility, may I recommend a tool (comes from Dialectical Behavior Therapy) called, "AND" The AND gives us cognitive flexibility to allow two thing can be true at the same time. Instead of saying this group is right and that group is wrong, we can say this group is right and the other group is right as well? It takes us beyond good and evil (not referencing nietzsche). Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about. Rumi

[@B-Mike]

Yasir Qadhi did not learn about Islam and Islamic theology in Madinah but found Islam’s theological understanding in a Christian institution in USA. His arrogance is at its epic when he is now calling himself a theologian/philosopher/knower-of-the-truth……He talks about deconstructing aqeedahs because he himself was deconstructed from Quran and Islam during his phd education. He himself had admitted that how his teachers deconstructed Islam and Quran like Lego pieces. The two interviewers are not asking any questions but just listening to a lecture. Probably all scripted.

[@moahmed55]

@DhikrDose Who’s talking about Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab here? First, he says that asking the dead to pray to Allah is something he doesn’t care about, then Salman pushes him, and Yasir Qadhi says it’s haram, bid’ah, and even a stepping stone to shirk. How can he be so lenient towards a group of people or a person who is promoting something that could lead to shirk? He condemns those who choose not to follow him, calling them extremists and fundamentalists, but won’t call out those who are promoting something that is a stepping stone to shirk. And he avoids addressing the question: if someone calls upon the dead for health, life, and wealth, which is shirk, why does he not condemn it? Even many Salafis don't consider asking the dead to pray as shirk. When you lack clear principles, you’ll accept anything, which Yasir Qadhi has done. He acts as if he’s the most intellectual person out there, the only one who doesn’t care about sifat (attributes of Allah), and as if he’s doing a great job. Then Salman said, "You’re not the only person." Yasir Qadhi criticizes not adhering strictly to the madhhab, but then he says the imams of the past were human, and that over the last 1,400 years, Islam has had human elements. Another false statement he makes is that 50 scholars from the past endorsed asking the dead to make du’a to Allah, which is allowed. Please don’t be a blind fanboy. He’s also trying to downplay Mutazilite issues as minor and semantic.

Brothers and Sisters, sincerely, I'm asking this question. Can you name one Shaikh who made a significant positive impact on our religion after Huzzatul Islam, Imam Gazzali and Shaikh Al Akbar, Ibn Al Arabi (please do not make a comment if you haven't studied this Shaikh with due diligence). I Love you brothers and sisters and THANK YOU!!!

[@rathernot6660]

Ibn Arabi or ibn al Arabi. Al ghazaali was not in sound aqeedah. He waz drenched on philosophical understanding of the Names and Attributes of Allah. He was not knowledgeable at all about hadith. You read his books you become an atheist according to his own words. His works were based on Aristotle and Plato understanding of the Creator. Whoever sees their works as reference for Islam. They are deviants of Islam and are known sufi grave worshippers . Followers of unity of existence ie God dwells in the creation. So do you now still believe the scholars you've mentioned are Islam.

[@Nartish24]

@@rathernot6660 Not quite sure if you are a troll or not. I will treat you with respect and dignity. Your comment is jumbled and lacking coherence. We shouldn't be too quick to label and coming up with conclusions that do not have logical integrity. How do you categorize all sufis as grave worshiper? I do not like any kind of ism and this is the limitation of language, Sufism is part of our religion, it is the inner realization. Also Ibn Al Arabi's concept of "Wahdat ul-Wujud" ("Unity of Being"), what is Ruh that resides in us? Is Ruh connected to Allah Subhana Talah? All Ruhus (this shouldn't be plural but again , the limitation of language) are connected to Allah Subhana Talah? What about Carl Jung's idea of collective unconscious and how we all are connected? How about quantum field theory or quantum entanglement theory that proved that we are all connected. By the way, the unity of oneness is universal law. Classifying our brothers as deviants has Salafi roots and not an empowered one, Just remember this: Allah is most forgiving and merciful (wal laahu Ghafoorur Raheem) Holy Quran 24:22 Thank You!!!

Your intellect is only required to seek knowledge from Qur'an and Sunnah and not to add to it.

So basically he is saying they were slaves of the ideas of their time But I am not 😅😅 I am your savior He uses modern philosophy of language as if there is consensus about it or as if it will never change He is actually so emerged and influenced by post modernism and progressivism and yet telling us that imams in the past felt into the trap of being influenced by the ideas of their time and that their ideas are only human interpretations, and his is what? Divine The golden double standard But this modern world is much better hence we will understand better If this is not post modernism and secularism i do not know what it is He says we do not know what the sahabas believed So when god says فَإِنْ آمَنُوا بِمِثْلِ مَا آمَنتُم بِهِ فَقَدِ اهْتَدَوا ۖ How am i supposed to follow what god commands me here yet he never guided me? This is belitering god's message. And the issue is that he does not accept natural language, that the asel is in the zaher of the word No he wanna use some modern philosophy of language yet the quran came in arabic with the mindset of none philosophers, but let us ignore that and believe that philosiphers will understand better. The guy is deep in tge mud and he does not see that, he does not see how much he has been influenced by modern philosophy He reminds me of woke leftist when they say we accept everybody unless they disagree with us Basicaly he refuses the hadith of the prophet خير القرون قرني ثم الذين يلونهم ثم الذين يلونهم And all these generations said that who ever says that the quran is created is a kafir. But qadhi is more versed than those.people who were indoctrinated and did not know how to understand the quran until our master the west developped the modern philosophy of language بئس المعتقد والمعتقد A side note: the guy says look at the ibadiya إباضية how they have better iman than sunnis in their salat and tahajod Does he not know that ibadiya are khawarej and that we have a direct hadith from the prophet saying تخرج خارجة من أمتي ليس صلاتكم إلى صلاتهم بشيء ، ولا صيامكم إلى صيامهم بشيء ، ولا قراءتكم إلى قراءتهم بشيء ، يقرأون [ ص: 593 ] القرآن يحسبون أنه لهم وهو عليهم ، لا يجاوز حناجرهم ، يمرقون من الإسلام مروق السهم من الرمية . وآية ذلك أن فيهم رجلا له عضد وليس لها ذراع ، عليها مثل حلمة الثدي ، عليها شعرات بيض ، لو يعلم الجيش الذين يصيبونهم ما لهم على لسان نبيهم لاتكلوا على العمل ، فسيروا على اسم الله So their actions from the outside are the best but deep down in their hearts they have zero iman Phd in doctrine?
