About Yasir Qadhi

Yasir Qadhi is someone that believes that one's life should be judged by more than just academic degrees and scholastic accomplishments. Friends and foe alike acknowledge that one of his main weaknesses is ice-cream, which he seems to enjoy with a rather sinister passion. The highlight of his day is twirling his little girl (a.k.a. "my little princess") round and round in the air and watching her squeal with joy. A few tid-bits from his mundane life: Sh. Yasir has a Bachelors in Hadith and a Masters in Theology from Islamic University of Madinah. He is presently working on his PhD in Islamic Studies at Yale University. He is an instructor and Dean of Academic Affairs at AlMaghrib, and has appeared on a number of Islamic channels including Huda, Islam Channel and Al-Fajr. He has written several books in English including Introduction to the Sciences of Qur'an, Riyaa: Hidden Shirk, Dua: the Weapon of the Believer, and many more.

  5. salamu ‘alaikum,

    jazakum Allah khair…the transcript is soooo helpful mashaAllah. with a newborn and other young kids, it would be hard for me to sit through a video at this stage in life…but if reading and cut off, I can continue easily where I left off…while it is a lot of work I hope the person who did this will continue with the transcripts inshallah. Jazakum Allah khair again.

  10. masha`Allah, it looks like someone has outpaced us in transcribing of these series. Jazakum Allahu khairun.

    I was upto number lesson no. 5 from the Huda TV series, are these series more or less the same content, I have not had a chance to compare with my notes yet?

    • Salam

      This series is much more comprehensive – the Huda ones are older and more compact. Of course there will be a lot of overlap (the original notes are the same!), but I was able to take more time for this one and research through more tafsir works.

    assalamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatu-lLaahi wa barakaatuH.

    one thing i do NOT agree with him, ‘alaihi-ssalam is only for the prophet and for the shahabah we say radliya-lLaahu anha for a woman or ‘anhu for a man.

    i heard he said khadijah ‘alaihi-ssalam and he should say khadijah radliya-lLahu anha

    wa-ssalamu ‘alaikum
