About this lecture

In this comprehensive lecture, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi examines the Islamic concept of the Mahdi — who he is, what the authentic ahadith say about him, and how the concept has been misused throughout history. Beginning with a vivid account of the 1979 siege of the Ka'aba, the lecture covers the Mahdi's lineage, physical characteristics, mission, and his role in the events of the end of times, while warning against those who attempt to "cast" and "script" the Mahdi's arrival for their own political ends.

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.
