Hadith Friday Khutbah Seerah Prophethood Worship Salawat Prayer Dua

About this lecture

In this khutbah, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi delivers a rich and comprehensive explanation of the Salat Ibrahimiyya — the blessed prayer upon the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) recited in every salah. Drawing extensively from Ibn al-Qayyim's masterwork *Jalā' al-Afhām*, he unpacks the meaning of each phrase, explores who is included in the "family of Muhammad," and presents at least five major blessings of sending salawat, including guaranteed intercession on Judgment Day. He also enumerates ten specific occasions when Muslims should make a special point of sending salat upon the Prophet.

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.
