When Politics Enters the Masjid

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi concludes his series on sectarianism by presenting six practical rules for navigating disagreement within the Muslim community. He explains how political and institutional forces historically drive sectarian conflict, teaches listeners to analyze their own spectrum of tolerance, and argues that the goal should be managing disagreement with civility rather than eliminating the other side. The lecture also includes a lively Q&A covering the Barelvi-Deobandi divide, the liberal-traditional tension in modern Islam, the Christian origins of Muslim theological controversies, and a frank assessment of the Wahhabi movement.
