About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi explores the etiquettes of dua (supplication) through the lens of one of the Quran's most foundational stories: the creation of Adam alayhis salam and the rebellion of Iblis. By contrasting the prophetic humility of Adam's response with the arrogant defiance of Iblis, Shaykh Qadhi draws out timeless lessons on sincerity, consistency, hope, and the proper manner of conversing with Allah. Key themes include the danger of calling upon other than Allah, the importance of making dua in both ease and hardship, and the reminder that even the dua of Iblis was answered — so no believer should ever despair of Allah's mercy.
