About this lecture

In this lecture, Shaykh Tahir Wyatt explores the Islamic framework for handling differences of opinion, distinguishing between natural scholarly disagreement and the harmful division Allah has prohibited. Drawing on Quranic verses, hadith, and the well-known story of Imam Malik, he outlines practical steps for navigating disputed issues: sincerity of intention, making du'a for guidance, and following the truth even when inconvenient — all while maintaining brotherhood and proper Islamic manners.

Shaykh Dr. Tahir Wyatt is an American scholar from Philadelphia and one of the most academically credentialed English-speaking Islamic scholars.

He returned to Philadelphia, where he serves as executive director of the Quran and Sunnah Society and resident scholar at the United Muslim Masjid, and he has served as a senior scholar with Yaqeen Institute. His lectures span aqeedah, hadith, fiqh, and the intellectual defense of Islam.
