About this lecture

In this wide-ranging roundtable, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi and Sheikh Haytham Tamim return for a second in-depth conversation on the future of Muslims in the West, covering Muslim identity, political engagement, the rise of the far right, sectarianism, and the space for scholarly disagreement within Islamic jurisprudence. The two scholars model respectful but frank disagreement, offering both macro-level strategic vision and nuanced fiqhi reflection for Western Muslim communities navigating a rapidly changing landscape.

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.
