About this lecture

Drawing on a recent visit to Andalus (Spain), Sheikh Yasir Qadhi delivers a powerful reminder about the fall of Islamic civilization there — tracing how internal factionalism, political betrayal, and foreign dependence destroyed a once-great Muslim presence. He connects these historical lessons directly to the current rise of organized Islamophobia in America and the ongoing geopolitical betrayals within the Muslim world, calling the Ummah to unity, strategic awareness, and collective action before history repeats itself.

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.
