About this lecture

In this powerful khutbah, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi argues that time is the believer's most precious and irreplaceable asset — more valuable than wealth, health, or any worldly blessing. Drawing on Surah Al-'Asr, Quranic oaths about time, and the examples of Imam al-Nawawi and Malcolm X, he presents four timeless investments of time — acquiring knowledge, practicing it, influencing others, and persevering until death — and offers practical guidance on avoiding time-wasters like social media and structuring one's day around the five daily prayers.

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.
