Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi has more than 20 years of experience as a Muslim scholar and has published numerous books and articles.

He leads numerous activities that help improve our communities and build better future generations through education.

Shaykh Dr. Yasir will be leading Wahed’s efforts in spreading awareness about halal investing as part our vision of creating an educational platform for the community. “Money is something that intrinsically is beloved to all people, and while it is indeed one of this world’s most difficult tests, it is also one of the best and most efficient manners of earning Allah’s pleasure,” said Shaykh Dr. Yasir. “Each and every penny that we earn and spend can become an act of worship if it is done properly. Our Prophet would regularly pray to Allah to be blessed with ‘rizqan tayyiban’, which translates as pure and blessed sustenance.”
