Yasir Qadhi is WRONG about Khilafah - Here’s Why

On this first episode of The i3 Show, Sheikh Usta reacts to Yasir Qadhi’s video “Thoughts on re-establishing Khilafa” and breaks down some crucial flaws in his argument. For Muslims, Khilafah is a heavily-loaded question, but one thing is clear- it should not be treated as an option.

Great video Sheikh! Khilafah is necessary because without it, we're going to just complain to Westerners about Muslim issues, which they don't care about. It's so pathetic. If we can get just 5 or 6 countries to unite, it would make an impact, insha Allah.

[@NaieemAli-gd2hq]

Which countries ? Those which have sworn alligence to the rulership of kufr at the UN? Nullifiers of Islam are an extremely serious matter.

[@Hidesin]

Don't expect the current Muslim nations to unite, and implement a Khilafah. They're all led by Puppet masters to the UN and US. We need to establish a Khilafah based on the Prophetic Methodology, which fully imposes Sharia without any sugarcoating. Also, do you think the West and the "Muslim" nations would simply allow a Khilafah to emerge? Look how they all united to defeat the ones whom tried doing so (I'm not supporting them), that shows you that you can't rely solely on these Muslim nations whom are the lap dogs of western nations.

[@Hidesin]

Not to mention anyone who holds these views will be labelled as a fanatic, kharijite, terrorist, extremist, but alhamdulillah we still have people working to establish it. People also fantasize and think it can be implemented without shedding any blood, or without going through countless of wars. This is a delusion, and retaliation from those who oppose islamic doctrine is to be expected. Study how the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his companions (May Allah be pleased with them) expanded Islam and the Khilafah. Islam began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers." - Sahih Muslim 145

@@user-ss6fi7fp5s Imam ali couldn't save his wife according to shia theology. Shia's alleged imam mahdi aka dajjal is hiding in cave from abbasid soldiers for over 1200 yrs in fear of getting killed and eventually be killed by bearded woman. Ayatollats are living off lavishly on khums money on behalf of fabricated imam mahdi given by gullible shia and made up khurafaat. Khomeini la came up with concept of WTF(wilaya tul faqih) bcoz shia were asking why mahdi is not coming out of hiding and doing his job. And hence contradicted his own theology and arguments against sahaba that only divine allocated person can rule yet he who was not divinely appointed assumed the role.

[@brace_yourself]

Imaam al-Ghazali (rh.a.) when writing of the potential consequences of losing the Khilafah said, "The judges will be suspeneded, the Wilayaat (provinces) will be nullified, ... the decrees of those in authority will not be executed and all the people will be on the verge of Haraam". (al Iqtisaad fil Itiqaad page 240.) Imam an-Nawawi (Rh) said: "They (the scholars) consented that it is an obligation upon the Muslims to appoint a khalifah and that its obligation is by revelation, not reason." [Sharhu Sahih Muslim page 205 vol 12] Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Israelis used to be ruled and guided by prophets: Whenever a prophet died, another would take over his place. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who will increase in number." The people asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What do you order us (to do)?" He said, "Obey the one who will be given the pledge of allegiance first. Fulfil their (i.e. the Caliphs) rights, for Allah will ask them about (any shortcoming) in ruling those Allah has put under their guardianship." [Sahih al-Bukhari 3455] It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: One who defected from obedience (to the Amir) and separated from the main body of the Muslims - if he died in that state-would die the death of one belonging to the days of Jahiliyya (i.e. would not die as a Muslim). One who fights under the banner of a people who are blind (to the cause for which they are fighting, i.e. do not know whether their cause is just or otherwise), who gets flared up with family pride, calls (people) to fight for their family honour, and supports his kith and kin (i.e. fights not for the cause of Allah but for the sake of this family or tribe) - if he is killed (in this fight), he dies as one belonging to the days of Jahiliyya. Whoso attacks my Ummah (indiscriminately) killing the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch in faith and fulfilling not his promise made with those who have been given a pledge of security - he has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with him. [Sahih Muslim 1848 a]

May Allah bless you Sheikh Usta, that was a very powerful, effective and astute breakdown. It’s definitely necessary to combat this mindset of incompetence and helplessness that has taken over the Muslimeen. Furthermore, to correct straw-man arguments and distortions of the Ahadith that are being used to bolster a stance of weakness in the Ummah, and acceptance of Western sovereignty. We have to stop thinking that we can achieve justice within the corrupt systems of the West, and we have to stop considering the establishment of Hukm of Allah to be “optional”.

[@susmitbhai]

Yasir Qadhi may like history read a lot of history but how he interprets it, is very problemetic. nd sadly he often sides with oriental interpretations I want to suggest two videos one is Library chat 24 and Yasir Qadhis understanding of Banning Coffee vs Coffee was once banned from Blogging theology. also another point comes to mind when Yasir Qadhi talking about Printing press. When i first heard it, i thought it was a good explanation even i heard Faras Zahabi talking about this. But once i started to read more about it, the situtaion is not that easy, it was very complex. One of the reasons Ottomans didnt allow it for muslims beause every early printed book was Christian reigious book, Missonary books. when Europeans first came to our land first thing they published was a Christian missionary book, that is the fisrt printed book in Bangla. So now when Yasir Qadhi talk about History i am more cautious.

@@ServantOfAllah36 Walaykum Asalaam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu akhi. I’ve known Yasir Qadhi for almost 20 years. I used to take knowledge from him when he still had a Sunnah beard and was talking about tawheed. However, after 9/11 he has changed a lot, just like murtadd Hamza Yusuf (who I also used to defend back in the days). Alhamdulillah for guidance from Allah The Magnificent to show me authentic Islam through scholars like Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril and Shaykh Nasir Al Fahd (and many more like Shaykh Younus Kathrada). Ones you taste the sweetness of authentic imaan, then you will notice the pattern of the filthy ones. Ameen to your beautiful dua. May Allah The Majestic guide us to whatever pleases Him alone.

​​@@Holistic_Islam Dear Brother, I know you have strong opinions against Sh. Qadhi, but the man is a practicing Muslim. From one Muslim to another, and with sincereity, I kindly advise you to not speak ill of our fellow brother, regardless of what your opinion on him might be. To call someone a "Murtad" on the internet for hundreds of people to see, without Sh. Qadhi being available to comment and defend himself, is akin to backbiting. I know you are a God Fearing brother and would not do such a thing. If I came across as rude, I apologize. Thanks for taking the time to think about this.

[@Holistic_Islam]

@@serenevalor Jazak Allah Khair for your kind words and your sincere concerns. However, this is not an issue that I just came up with. The Ulama have declared him a murtadd more than a decade ago. Yasir Qadhi is not a man enough to debate Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril, in order to make these matters clear for all of us and in order for him to defend himself. Why is he a coward and doesn’t debate Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril in an open public forum? Someone who is knowledgeable and sincere should be able to defend themselves. Muslims aren’t stupid, we can see through lies. How is Yasir Qadhi a practicing Muslim when he says to a kaffir Christian enemy of Allah that he and his buddies (other “scholars”) are in process to change the hudud punishments? That’s kufr akbar that no two Muslims can disagree on. This is just the most recent Kufr statement he has done, together with saying that the filthy Jews of today (who are mushrikeen and kuffar) are the true followers of Musa (Sallalahu alayhim Wasalam). I’m not even talking about his kufri statements regarding Yajuj and majuj or all his other kufri statements that go back more than a decade ago. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I can bring you dozens of his statements that are kufr akbar. However there’s no need of that, unless you want me to tell you. Please read my previous replies in which I talk about knowing him for almost 20 years. Please listen to any lecture of Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril in order to know what true scholarship is from someone who radiates taqwa.

[@Abd.Al-Malik]

To ones carrying the dawah in a comprehensive way, which includes the active obligation of the resumption of Islamic way of life, through an Islamic polity (Khilafah) are teaching the Muslims and our kids to be the leadersbof tomorrow. The ones who have it below their "top 20" in some vague and ambigious description of priorities are teaching the Muslims that the establishment of the Deen and the free and total submission to Allah swt by implementing His Adress to mankind is of no priority and that our childeren should prepare themselves for subservience to oppressive and un-Islamic Deens, their systems and ways of life. The Chinese managed to become a superpower within a timespan of 30 years due to an idea, vision, determination, striving and patience. And all of this upon kufr and jahiliyyah. We have Islam... yet some seem to fail to recognize the need, urgense, vital priority. We may ask, who or what determines our priorities ? Is it personal opinion or is it the Shar' ? And if itbis the Shar' then in what way did we arrive at our conclusions.

[@mohammeds3114]

mashaAllah, I can't imagine the level of patience this Shaykh has to politely refutes kindergarten arguments.

[@AAAAAA-jb8lq]

11:58 A new modern explanation of the hadith that is consistent with this is that the absence of Khilafa and the Baia to a Caliph Global has brought about the Jahiliya. Interest was frowned upon at the time of Khilafa by most peoples, even in Europe, but today it is part of the system. In Europe and in many other areas, people wore headscarves or moral clothing, today they wear nudity. Marriage was standard worldwide, today it has become an exception, etc. Etc. Etc.

[@TheHamza300]

Yasir Qadi is very realistic looking at the world we live in now and he’s not in favour of removing the khalifa or against it, he’s just pragmatic about it and he’s right u gotta start somewhere small, somewhere low then make your way up to the kalifa. The main thing is unity! We must achieve unity first in the ummah via any tactics or methodology.

His main priority is to address the critical issue of preventing Muslims from abandoning their faith. He also mentioned that in the event the khilafah is established, he intends to contribute within its structure.

[@mdfahd24]

If that's how he's prioritizing the issues of Islām then he lacks basic understanding of Deen and Seerah of RasūlAllahﷺ, & he must be corrected for his Bātil views of maintaining status-quo and trying to solve the present problems with UnIslamic solutions which are not even open for Ijtihad but clear fard.

[@theintuitivetruth]

He is doing demagoguery to the apostate, a demagoguery to those who have already developed ills about islam in their heart. Rather than fixing those ills, and washing them with away with light of Imaan, rather than trying to cure their heart to love deen of Islam, he is letting those ills grow more and more by water-dowing the islam itself, simoly to appease their ill-sentiments. Such that even if they would return, they would return to the deen whch is not completely and originally revealed by Allah, but something that appeals to their personal prejudice, biases and wishfull desire. Speaking in western a youth terms - It is like a guy who was ditched by a cunning play-girl, whon began to hate himself in desperaton, and gaveup all goodness from his heart, just to beg the girl return to him. Now he start to hate his own goodness just because that girl is not retuning anymore, the fool thinks there was something wrong in himself rather than realizing that she would have never left if she was honest.

I am a student of knowledge that has admired the work of Shaykh Osta and have attended a lot of events locally. However, I don’t think much was achieved through this response except debunking the opinion of Shaykh Yasir. I find it difficult to grasp and agree with all the points shaykh Osta made and to an extent, there maybe some allegations and points quoted out of context. Such as, “….why don’t you teach….as if Allah and the system that he revealed to us from a political perspective is just like all the man made systems.. full of gaps and ruins..” Do you really think that someone like a shaykh Yasir would undermine the system of Allah or equate that to a man-made system? This is misrepresentation and distortion of the opinions yasir Qadhi presented. Moreover, having a private talk and criticizing someone’s views privately is much better than creating a video on how they “messed up”. It’s more beneficial for a Muslim community to benefit from a knowledge based video than a video highlighting the flaws of another scholar.

Response to 23:22 What do you call the conquest of Mecca or the abolition of the religious systems of the pagan Arabs? What do you call the destruction of their places of worship, their priests and priestesses? What do you call the overthrow of the power structures in the Hijaz and North Africa in the 7th century if not an Islamic revolution? Besides, how was the Khalifa maintained and secured? Do you really believe that a Caliph can conquer foreign lands, impose Islamic rule, demand Jizya, and that's it? No one will complain and no one will push back? Sheikh Yasir once pointed out that it is no accident that the borders of Islam today are largely the borders of conquest. If Muslims want to establish a "meaningful" Khalifa that looks anything like the Rashidun Caliphate, they'll first have to confront other Muslims. Why? Because that's what happened in the 7th century! The best Muslims (Sahabas) battled each other to establish and maintain the Khalifa. Why think it will be any different today? How successful was Mohammed in establishing the Khalifa in Mecca when he was only giving Dawah? And when he established the Khalifa, was it before or after clashing violently with his pagan opponents? Today's opponents of Islamic rule are home and abroad. So if you are calling for the revival of the caliphate, you should at least be honest about the likely cost.

More harmful than dajjal....!!!! Abu Dhar said, "I was with the Prophet ﷺ one day and I heard him saing: “There is something I fear for my Ummah than the Dajjal.” It was then that I became afraid, so I said: 'Oh Rasool Allah! Which thing is that?" He ﷺ said, “Misguided and astray scholars.” Musnad Imam Ahmad, hadith - 21334 aur 21335. Shaykh Shu'ayb al Arna'ut graded it sahih li ghayri (authentic due to corroborating narrations) in his tahqiq of the Musnad Imam Ahmad.

Even if a shaykh says something you disagree with, doesn't necessarilly mean we should neglect everything else he has done for the ummah.

Bless the men of knowledge, and respect them in their respective fields, and do not exceed Beyond once’s capacity. For example, if you ask a women what is a flour, she would say ‘rose’ You ask a chef what is flower, he would say wheat. The word khilafah has different meanings to Muslims who teach different areas of knowledge. So the discipline in the Scenice of Quran does not automatically give the mind the intellectual capacity to understand politics, the affairs of society, this necessitates political thinking.

[@noyapagol]

The history of human on earth began with Khilafa. Allah Swt could have said to send “human” instead of “khalifa”. 1. Why did Allah mention khalifa? 2. Why did he first officially appoint Daud as caliph? 3. How many people became Muslim during the first 13 years of Prophet pbuh in Mecca and why the number was so less? 4. Why was Yarthrib chosen for migration instead other places? 5. Why did the Prophet pbuh not share the power with others (in Mecca and yathrib) 6. Why was the burial of the prophet pbuh delayed for 3 days? 7. Why did Allah say “establish prayers”? 8. How do you establish the rule of Allah on earth without having a Khalifa and how do you implement hudud? 8. On what basis a handful of Muslims ruled two-thirds of the world and the world witnessed peace and harmony all over? On the contrary, why the billions of Muslims are being tortured, humiliated and killed all over? I am a lame Muslim. Not much knowledge on islam but my common sense says that the peace and tranquility will never be established on earth if the command of Allah is not implemented. Why was the caliphate in turkey been abolished when there was no need of it as the power of the Sultan was just like the pope?

[@kamranasif2004]

So the public opinion of kuffar matters so much that it can change the policies of western governments entirely but our scholars are telling us that consensus of Ummah and opinion does not matter? This is defeatist attitude! Seeking for genuine and authentic leadership is not only religous requirement but also a natural human desire.

Having no khilafa is like saying the company will be own its own and every employee will do what he see fits and go where he see fit and there would be no coherence and system to keep us on a unified track. Lets see the sheikh in the light of the country he lives in ie USA. Can he say we need khilafa more than ever? CIA is keeping watch on him and he knows it probably. May Allah guide us all!

Facts, to establish a khilafah would require so much bloodshed and chaos, it's not even feasible. We need to actually get Muslim unity first, rather than this nationalism curse we have at the moment.

Shame to see muslims dissing muslims, casually calling kufr on others without knowing for sure that when they die what their own status will be. If you disagree on something, just do it in a respectful manner. It would not be a surprise that the very negatives that you publicly call/shame on others, may very well be seen in your ownself in the future. A muslim is a mirror to another!

‎السلطة المطلقة تفسد تماما (absolute power corrupts absolutely) is it evidenced by Hadith ? It has different perspective . But القوة المطلقة (absolute power) has different perspective. English language is a barrier . Allah has absolute power Allah provide the power to some individual (e.g., Dhu al-Qarnayn ذُو ٱلْقَرْنَيْ) Allah established him (إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُ) But was he prophet ? Most like “no” He was empowered by Allah; he said “we will penalize wrong doer (نُعَذِّبُهُۥ) then after the death same wrong doer will be punished by Allah (فَيُعَذِّبُهُ) with an unheard-of torment.

[@abdishariff5967]

Look man, fear Allah this is not the time to refute another Muslim.

[@OtakuBabiker]

Honestly a lot of weak arguments. You mostly agreed with YQ in essence but disagreed in rhetoric. You fundamentally ignored his main point, that Khilafa is fard on those who are able to implement it أهل الحل و العقد not on the average Muslim, and you failed to address this. It seems that criticizing YQ is the popular thing to do these days, so people will do it-loudly and publicly-even when they mostly agree with him. I agree it would be better if we had people that can get away with rhetorically calling for the reestablishment of the Khilafa, but you and I both know the dangers of that. Barak Allahu feek sheikh and may Allah bless us all reaching the solution to this problem in this life time

[@user-ss6fi7fp5s]

No need to choose khalifa Just give bayat to the caliph choosen by Allah. Only Allah chooses caliph not people. Only Allah is the sole owner and ruler of the whole universe. Allah has chosen Ahlul Beyt household of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family. Imam Ali is the first caliph and Imam Mahdi is the last caliph who will establish Islam on the whole earth. Imam Mahdi Alaihissalam is agreed upon in all the Ummah So we must establish Islamic system like Islamic system Iran is fighting against America and Israel... Like Islamic Yemen zaydi Mujahideen fighting against America and Israel..... Labbaika Ya Mahdi Alaihissalam 🕋🇾🇪🇵🇸🇮🇷kdkdkkd

[@Abu_Ghufraan]

There is an excellent book, "Al Tawheed" by Shahid Ismā'il al Farooqi. Within this invaluable book is a chapter on understanding and establishing a Khilafa. "The ummah, is the agent of world reconstruction, or world reformation to fulfill the Divine Will... As a state, the ummah should be referred to as al khalifa rather than al dawlah. The former is closer to the Islamic tradition and to al tawhid of which it is a direct and Qur'anic deduction. The latter (al dawlah) is a modern notion, and stands at the farthest remove of the Qur'anic idea of vicegerency which is the raison d'être of the umma." Y. Qadhi is ruining the principles of actualizing Islam.

[@apap745]

I agree with yasir qadhi because I think a khilafa should be a natural thing witch comes from the grassrooth and not pushed from above. If we are good musims Allah will unite us in a khilafa inshalah. Allah will change the situation of a people if they change themselfs first

Sheigh can you a realistic method of selecting a khalifah for a global ummah, does he have to be Arab. Getting 5 Muslims in a room to agree on an issue is almost impossible how are you going to to get 2 billion Muslims to agree on a particular persona as a khalifah. Quotes is fine and pleasing but reality is different, those closest to the prophetic era when the Muslims were few in number could not agree on a khalifah then, how are they going to agree now. It's utopian to think of a global khalifah.

Sheikh Yasir is a learned man and knows history very well! He should know that the Romans (The Western world) is powerhouse that wont be defeated till Judgement day because whenever one nation falls another nation takes up the standard and keeps on fighting. And from my understanding that is only possible because they have the Pope. The Pope is an institution that focuses their energies to one goal of destroying Islam. If we dont have a Khalifah we cannot compete against the Romans.
