About this lecture

In this candid and comprehensive lecture, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi shares practical and spiritual advice on marriage aimed at young Muslims in their 20s — covering topics from istikhara and istishara, to conflict resolution, gender roles, personality compatibility, intimacy, and the importance of compromise. Drawing on decades of community experience, he speaks frankly about unrealistic expectations, the psychological differences between men and women, and the Islamic framework that makes marriages flourish. Viewers are also directed to two highly recommended books: *Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus* and *The Five Love Languages*.

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.
