Hadith Sincerity & Intentions Islamic History Seerah Dawah Good Deeds Companions of the Prophet Brotherhood

About this lecture

In this khatirah, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi tells the moving and largely unknown story of al-Walid ibn al-Walid — the older brother whose quiet faith, heartfelt letter, and sincere du'a ultimately led to the conversion of Khalid ibn al-Walid, the greatest military general in Islamic history. Using this story as a lens, Shaykh Yasir draws a powerful lesson from the hadith "never trivialize any good deed," reminding us that even a single act of sincerity — unseen and unrewarded in this life — can shape the course of history and earn limitless reward in the next.

Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi is one of the most influential Islamic scholars and intellectuals in the Western world. Born in Houston to Pakistani parents, he earned a degree in chemical engineering before studying for ten years at the Islamic University of Madinah, where he completed degrees in hadith and Islamic theology, and later earned a PhD in Religious Studies from Yale University. He served for years as Dean of Academic Affairs at AlMaghrib Institute, taught at Rhodes College in Memphis, and now serves as Dean of the Islamic Seminary of America and resident scholar of the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) in Texas. His lecture series on the seerah, "Lives of the Sahaba," and Islamic theology are among the most comprehensive in the English language.
