Podcast: The Fruit of Patience is Always Sweet | Dr. Yasir Qadhi

Published

May 2, 2020

Our Prophet Muḥammad is told in the Qur’ān: “Be patient like the strong prophets of old were patient.” Allāh tells our Prophet , “Look at the stories of those before you. Through the trials of the previous prophets, your own chest will become affirmed, and you will get hope and optimism.” One of the stories that Allāh reminds our Prophet Muḥammad about is the story of Ayyūb. Allāh calls him His slave and His servant.

I want to talk about patience because this is the month of patience. Our Prophet said, “The month of Ramadan is the month of patience.” Our Prophet said,

“If you can conquer fasting, fasting is half of all patience.”

Dr. Yasir Qadhi

Sh. Dr. 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, and a PhD in Islamic Studies from Yale University. He is an instructor and Dean of Academic Affairs at AlMaghrib, and the Resident Scholar of the Memphis Islamic Center.
