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.

  1. Re ayah 77, one of the commenter’s said: “perhaps when the brothers said that his brother (yusuf) was a theif, they were referring to Yusuf stealing the heart/love of the father, Ya’cub.”

    Could there be any truth to this view? Is this is a possibility?

  2. mashaAllah, very nice.
    I had a lot of questions in this area of the surah, and as usual, Sh Yasir Qadhi delivers answers bi idhnillah
