About this lecture

In this wide-ranging khutbah, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi introduces six Islamic principles for navigating the rise of artificial intelligence — from embracing technology as Allah's gift to guarding against intellectual laziness, spiritual emptiness, and the blurring of truth and falsehood. He also addresses the alarming surge of Islamophobia in America, urging Muslims to respond with pride, prophetic character, and civic engagement. A timely and practical lecture for Muslims living at the intersection of faith, technology, and social challenge.
