About this lecture

In this lecture, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi highlights the immense spiritual significance of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah — the holiest days of the Islamic year — which Allah Himself swears by in the Qur'an. Drawing on Quranic verses and authentic hadith, he explains how these days surpass even the days of Ramadan in virtue, and outlines eight key acts of worship to perform during this blessed period, including fasting on the Day of Arafat, offering the udhiyah sacrifice, performing dhikr, repenting sincerely, and praying the obligatory Eid prayer.

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.
