It is very easy to recognise the Wahhabis, takfiris, and the khawarij followers from the comments made on Sheikh Yasir. They have the knack for riling up his rallies with rhetorics that demeans and vilifies Sheikh Yassir without even listening to the latter's lecture.

Thank you so much Dr. Yasir Qadi, I feel obliged to say this. Although I am not an advanced student much less a student of knowledge, I found this lecture very very informative and it opened my eyes to an area that I was completely unaware of. I think I understood the gist of your this very informative lecture. Of All your lectures that I have had the pleasure of listening to, I found this lecture the most interesting and eye opening. Once again thank you. May Allah bless you and keeps you steadfast in spreading the good. I am sure those to come of our ummah will greatly benefit from this work and others that you are doing. May Allah increase our understanding of Islam and May make us neighbours in Jannath with other fellow muslims of our ummah. We are a nation without borders, without a race and without the evil that splits us apart. Aameen. Once again I cannot thank you enough for this lecture. I will continue to seek this knowledge and I pray to Allah to give me more understing towards sirat al mustaqim. Sallahlaah Alaa Mohammed, Sallahlaah Alaihi Wassalaam. Aameen Aameen Ya rabbi zul jalali wal ikram.

[@najmamunye6749]

Dr. Yassir Qadhi discusses a very important topic. He elaborates on the wahhabi or Najdi movement. He was one of the leading figures of this movement in the west. He now became more tolerant and rejected extremism in that movement. Every student and every brother and sister who is influenced by the Salafi movement should listen to this talk. Very inspiring. MaashaaAllah

[@AA-mg3xr]

Too bad the Salafis/Wahhabis are way too stubborn, probably the most obstinate and ignorant/arrogant people of this Ummah...

[@enami8888]

Very interesting video I was looking to understand the najdi/salafi concept and where it comes from and this video explained everything especially living with member of family that follow this mindset of black and white it’s very very difficult to live with those kind of people it’s litteraly broke our family it’s so sad I don’t even know how to handle this situation anymore you just want to cut them off at the end it gave me religious trauma. at first I thought I was the only one that had an issue with this mindset but after reading comments on this video I realize a lot of people encounter the same issue May Allah guide us all through hi straight path Amin

[@MiloBoz]

@@rayanjalaluddinallibnani3154 So according to Yasir, when Christians and Jews call upon saints and rabbis its only haram but not shirk - since they don't believe the saints and rabbis are "Allah". Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Let there be curse of Allah upon the Jews and the Christians for they have taken the graves of their apostles as places of worship. وَحَدَّثَنِي قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الأَصَمِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ Reference : Sahih Muslim 530b may Allah's curse be upon the liars!

[@rayanjalaluddinallibnani3154]

@@MiloBoz This hadith is often misquoted, it says worshipped their saints, in Christian and some jewish theologies, they believe their saints have self independent powers (basically making them Arbaab min doonillah), not Istighatha, but rather they did shirk in rububiya and asma wal sifaat in that regard.

[@ilyasali6229]

Brother Yasir Qadhi I have learned a lot from you. Nowadays I see many western based English speaking Sheikhs (whom I also like) starting to criticise you in a way that is meant to discourage listening to you as if you were the biggest fitna facing the Muslim ummah. This type of character assassination can be dangerous and can be taken too far if you don't somehow protect yourself. Don't take these lightly may Allah protect you and all the innocent ummah.

[@eriKhaled]

"Many western based English speaking Sheikhs" Loool other than social media personalities that grew a Muslim audience and one mainstream Sheikh like Assim Al Hakeem(who doesn't live in the west), I don't know any other western based Sheikhs that spoke out against him.

[@AbuMoosaa]

All I can say is alhamdulillah that I came across this video. The comfort that I felt after all the years of frustration and trauma from what I've seen of this ideology, not to mention the people I've hurt in the process, this was a tremendous relief. Finally something that makes sense and not feeling alone anymore. I always knew in my heart that the true Islam couldn't have been that way of thinking. Though the journey towards reaching the ultimate truth doesn't end at this video, alhamdulillah that I'm finally beginning to see the light that I couldn't see whilst under the dark grip of the Najdi Da'wah movement.

Alhamdulilah thats why we should always stydy orthodox sunnism and leave this najdi dawah

[@ibanezmakki]

@@Nox-02 Yes, but this is not to say that deviancy doesn't exist in other sunni schools and methodologies. We just have to have an open mind, not get boxed in and seriously purify our intentions. When anyone calls to any form of ism or ideology, it's a big red flag.

[@043ash]

Alhamdulillah brother ...I've travelled extensively around the world and especially eastern Europe ...like Macedonia and Slovakia etc...there are people that are Muslims by name but very far from Deen...yet there are people who follow this ideology and all they can care about is refutation and argumentation....it's such a sickness. Some masjids there are no people for Salah ..especially fajar. Yet these people keep talking about things far advanced than what the people are in need of .

[@sALah1550]

Got to the end and I feel a deep sense of melancholy. There is so much vitriol and hatred of fellow sincere Muslims when we're being persecuted all over the world. Ya Shaykh, you're a dearly beloved teacher of mine and I've benefited from you so much. I've come closer to the deen and feel pride in my Islam. And I've come to know and love my beloved Rasūl SAW through your works in conveying this 'ilm to us. I sincerely pray that Allah SWT make your scales heavy with all the khayr that you've brought to us all and long may it continue. This was really enlightening from the discussion on paganism, to the history of the Saudi state and your personal journey. I noticed how you were constantly sighing throughout but I just want to add it doesn't go unnoticed your reluctance to take cheap shots at other Muslims regardless of what you face.

This is something I've seen with the majority of the scholars. It comes across a sort of self-censure-ship. It frankly takes some getting used to and I can honestly say, I do not like it. It is definitely one of the reasons I stayed away from religions for such a long period of time. The cynicism and arrogance involved in claiming right is rather bothersome and so unnecessary.

I don't mean to sound too disparaging to preachers that intend their lectures for a less academic audience, but for me - they're a bit like a buffet while YQ is a five course meal.

This saying of yours was completely on point: "The reputation of the najdi salafi movement, in many communites, is that it just causes havoc ..." This is precicely what they did in my community. For generations, my forefathrs, my late father and mother, all of us, tried to simply be humble muslims. We believed, we prayed, we fastd, we tried to do good. Then, in the late nineties, all of a sudden a few of these "salafies" came freshly from having studied in Medina and literally started causing havoc - conflicts, curses, accusing all of us of being kafir, beating imams, proclaiming everything haram and kufr - while we, the community, were what you would classify as sunni / hanafi. Thank Allah that did not last long, because in a few years their "movement" started to fizzle just as fast as it had come - and many of them left the faith completely and today you can find them in bars, drinking alcohol and what not. Which shows that their iman is always SUPERFICIAL and they concern themselves with the most minute things like the length of ones beard or trousers, while their hearts are void of any faith or empathy.

Theres a practical problem najdism causes for the youth etc, like in my past as a salafi, I wanted to marry a religious person but there was only a handful, then having to reject them because you disagreed on minor issues of handplacement in salah or you did not like what headcovering he is wearing or which mosque he prays or his parents are apart of different movements. This was a minefield for me as being not married was becoming fitnah for me and a struggle as I was coming from a very troubled home and difficulty. Imagine having to oust a potential religious spouse as kafir??? Having a refuting mentality will cause practical day to day problems in interacting with muslim ummah. Like another example imagine a muslim sister or brother come to you for help because they have financial difficulty or poor and they are from another sunni movement, if you pass them money, does this count as zakat because you think their movement is kafir?

The verse you quoted is merely Allah swt condemning for the shirk for which they already had I.e. they already ascribed Lordship to these other gods then they hoped these Gods would intercede on their behalf to Allah. Meaning you cannot worship something without believing in it as so.e sort of lord. A Muslim doesn't ascribe Lordship to any of the saints or Prophets or whoever they ask for help. If they do with the belief that these saints and Prophets are independent of Allah swt and are the ones who can give and take then that is shirk. So while undoubtedly there may have been haram practices as such in the time of ibn abdul wahhab they in no way warranted mass takfir like ibn abdul wahhab did. Scholars wouldn't have sat around watching people commit shirk and said nothing and its also why ulema were angry at ibn abdul wahhab because he created a huge misconception and notion and used it to justify rebellion and takfir.

Dr. Yasir Qadhi, jzk for the lecture. I heard all of it and I agree that we should look at issues from the other's perspective and without any sort of emotional attachments so that we do not read things into it in order to be objective. I follow this model now as well and whenever I hear those within the Sunni paradigm who disagree with me, I try my best to hear them out and be charitable as possible to their position and will even consider them being right and me wrong when hearing their position. I think this is the best way to be objective and really listen. I now only listen for consistency in thought and how they developed their position. Having said that, I would really like your take on something you mentioned in the talk. When it comes to things which are EXCLUSIVE for Allah (forgiving sins, granting a child, healing, providing rain, etc.), would it be shirk for someone to believe that a wali or prophet could DO this at will BECAUSE Allah has granted this wali or prophet the power to do it? If no, then can we have some examples of reputable sunni scholars who have EXPLICITLY said that it is NOT shirk? Most arguments that deal with istighatha from even among Sufis relate to shafa'ah and request for supplications. Even Tahirul Qadri in one of his lectures argues from the position that calling out directly to the Prophet (pbuh) for a need is just majazi and it is Allah who does it. You gave the example of Eesa but I have trouble accepting that as a basis for its possibility because Eesa was restricted and did not have open license to resurrect/heal whomever he wanted whenever he wanted. It was just for restricted instances from what I understand to prove a point that he is indeed Allah's messenger. Wasn't the whole point of such a miracle to show the people that ONLY ALLAH can do such things so this guy HAS to be a true prophet. I don't see this as sufficient evidence to say 'well if we can believe it can happen with eesa, then one can believe it can happen with any saint without us considering it shirk'. Yes, I understand that you consider the practice a bid'ah but just trying to understand your negation of shirk in this instance. Also, how much can we stretch this? What if an ignorant Muslim believes that there is a cow that Allah has granted power to heal at will and so he begins to call out to this cow to heal him when he is sick. Would it not be shirk as long as the caller believes that it is Allah who has granted this cow such a power? What about if someone believes Allah has given a particular entity all divine powers to do as it please at will, can the caller come out of shirk as long as he believes it is Allah who has given such an entity such powers? What I mean is that is there any limit to this concept or no? Everything you said makes sense in the context of shaf'ah and request for supplications but I'm finding it difficult to reconcile it with the case of actions considered exclusive to Allah mentioned above. I'm genuinely curious and open to correcting any misunderstandings on the subject from my side. Jzk.

[@kavishahmad1]

I had the exact same doubt while listening to this lecture... To what extent... Even if the supplication is done believing that Allah is the one who has bestowed the entity the power, what is that boundary or the red line which would make the act shirk?

[@IamOmarMalik2]

agree 100%. how far do you stretch this. the cow example is spot on. do we in our love for ummah and not judging anyone, not even question that, and say as long as intention is correct, its not shirk?

[@saracentiano]

Okay, wanted to ask you. What do you mean to what extent we limit this? You mean when it stops becoming haraam and begins to be shirk? Shaikh YQ has told that it is based on niyyah, on intention. When the person believes that the deceased actually has powers independent of Allah. Most Brelwis do not believe that. Most believe that the deceased are not independent of Allah. They believe they are close to Allah. But even then Shaikh YQ says this is haraam. So why would you call it shirk? Wouldn't shirk be associating partners with Allah? Like actual smaller Gods or deities?

[@rameezabid356]

@@saracentiano There are some holes in the theory that it is ONLY shirk when the called entity is thought to have some power independent of Allah. Here is an article that argues against this position. It is a summary of Sh. Umayri's book. This is the same Umayri that Dr. YQ said in this video has some points that need to be responded to. I'd advise everyone to read it. BTW Sh. Umayri does NOT like Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab either: bassamzawadi.medium.com/defining-ibadah-6682e7abaf87

[@saracentiano]

@@rameezabid356 Okay. Did you ever ask help from someone? Ever? Like an alive person. Like did you ask him, brother help me I need help in studies, money, moving house etc etc. Why wouldn't that be shirk?

Yes, problem with many Muslims is that they’ll apply logic and common sense to every day issues however when it comes to the deen it all goes out the window.

Masha Allah allahuma barek! By far, the best scholar in our times so far. May Allah bless you Dr Yasir and I would love to meet you. Keep up this magnificent work, you have definitely made me get closer to Allah and his deen and messenger with your beautiful lectures especially the seerah of our beloved Muhammad (SAW) I have listened to it twice, and the more I listen to it, the more Info I find out and makes me open minded so much. Jazaka Allahu khayrun. P. S I love your tangents 🥰😂

[@gogadgetgo3125]

Thank you brother, wisdom comes with time, when we are young, as well as positives, there are also negatives.

[@HeyYaBasil]

One other important point that YQ alludes to is the fact that the vast majority of Muslims are not interested in spending all our time engaging in this particular theological debate. For most of us, it's enough to declare that these actions (calling to the dead) are haram, misguided, bid'a, etc. It's enough for us to not engage in this behavior and to discourage other Muslims from committing these deeds. We don't need to label these misguided actions shirk or kufr, because at the end of the day, we're not interested in declaring war on our fellow believers. In the modern world, we've got bigger fish to fry than seeking to relitigate a problem that's existed for 1000 years. As for the followers of the Najdi da'wa...apparently, nothing else really matters. There's no time or energy to address the invasion of Muslim nations, no time to address the moral bankruptcy of the authoritarian regimes occupying Arab/Muslim lands...can't worry about Palestine, Syria, Yemen, the Rohinya, the Uyghurs, Kashmir, India, Sri Lanka etc, can't devote our energies to tackling the anti-Muslim sentiment prevalent in Western nations (a real concern for those of us residing in North America, Europe, NZ, Australia).

[@abdullahmohiuddin9270]

This is the crux of it. Calling to the dead is something we all reject and look down on. I just am not comfortable calling the people who do it kafir though. They are misguided and may Allah give them hidaya. We got much bigger fish to try but instead we are attacked and eaten from within.

[@saracentiano]

Finally you both it in the absolute clear terms as possible. I just can't understand why these Najdi dawah people are so obsessed with refutations and being an annoying pain in the bum. There are far more pressing issues, far more. Children in Yemen are starving and not one of them speaks anything about it.

[@saracentiano]

Muslims in France are literally being persecuted for even saying Turkey handled Coronavirus pandemic better. The hypocrisy is hardly being called out. All of this does not matter. What matters is the 95% of ummah is mushrik and only they are the saved ones. Kudos Salafis, kudos.

[@SeekeroftheHaqqq]

If only it was that easy to blame the Salafis for the problems the ummah is facing today. We have to go back in history to find out exactly what was the cause, one of them was the rise in mysticism during the Ottoman empire where sainthood and superstitious beliefs were spreading and as a consequence people would see the dunya as something negative since to become one with God you had to shun yourself from the dunya to achieve that higher spiritual state. So whilst the west was advancing in science and technology, the ummah was declaring the printing press as haram. The problem is still here today even if we come on the same platform as those who hold on to mysticism or superstitious beliefs, we will still not be able to solve the problems of the ummah because these beliefs go beyond personal worship but effects the ideological framework of the mass. Indeed if we were to say seeking help from the dead is 'haram' or 'bidah' or 'near shirk' then this is a problem that needs rectification since millions in the ummah are doing this forbidden act and how do we expect Allah then to help us if the mass are engaged in this 'sin'?

[@SeekeroftheHaqqq]

@James Joe Nationalism was one of the reasons why the empire fell apart which it's idea was from the west, the Arabs were obviously deceived by the British that they could have freedom after many centuries of being ruled by Turks, the house of Saud just adhered to the 'Wahhabi' ideology it wasn't the main drive to rebel as the whole region was rebelling though they used it's ideology to justify their campaigns. The Albanian revolt against the Ottomans was led by Skanderbeg that rebellion took place due to the Albanian not having much authority in their own land and till this day Skanderbeg who was a former Muslim is still seen as a national hero in Albania.

[@imamadil6780]

MashaAllah Perfectly explained, This way of understanding is not something new, All great scholars of Ahlu Sunnah from day one of Islam understood and taught this reality The most important point of this lecture is from the words of the Messenger of Allah, "Actions are according to intentions, and everyone shall receive what they intend....." Imam Nawawi understood this very well, that's why he has placed this hadith to be the number ONE hadith in his most famous work, his collection of authentic hadith in his book, Riyad-us-saliheen May Allah guide us all. And Allah knows best.

[@Kimeikus]

29:50 *That’s what I find with a lot of them.* Instead of understanding your perspective, they just reinterpret what everything you say through the lenses of their paradigm and they start freaking out even more. That’s why they’ll listen to this whole thing and say, “YQ is promoting grave worshipppp!!”

[@SkillaTronGaming]

Assalamoualaikum ya sheikh. I just want you to know although you are not free from mistakes like the rest of us, I love you for the sake of Allah despite the hate that is thrown towards you because of your efforts in speaking the truth and being unbiased in light of the way of the salaf, scholars, and the sunnah of the prophet peace and blessings be upon him. I ask Allah to guide me and you to that which is correct and to be pleased with us in this life and the next.

[@apuhassan9821]

Thank you very much, you have helped me a lot in many things. I am learning from you for years, Mashallah, Zazakallah Kairan. May Allah gift you Jannattul Ferdaus. What we hear on KZbin right now, without an explanation, we will get scared and possibly think badly of you. Of course, each of us knows what is right and what is wrong. Allah put that in us. But to be a true Muslim we have to be able judge from all sides. When I got into Islam, I was very strict with myself and with others. May Allah gift us peace and bring us all together in Jannat. Zazakallah Kairan, Assalamuailakum.
