Yasir Qadhi – Global Peace and Unity Conference 2006 (GPU)

About this lecture

In this address at the 2006 Global Peace and Unity Conference in London, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi challenges 30,000 attendees to reflect on how Muslims should respond to rising Islamophobia in the West, using the niqab controversy as a launching point. He critiques three flawed responses — militancy, apathy, and passivity — before calling every Muslim to take personal responsibility for positive change. Drawing on Quranic verses and powerful analogies, he argues that the revival of the Ummah begins with the individual transformation of each believer.
