That's why you stand tall among the rest, say it as it is , that is YQ, may Allah continue to bless you with more beneficial knowledge

Excellent Analysis. May ALLAH guide all of us towards his path of TRUTH. Aameen ! ! ! TRUTH Lovers ko SALAM ! ! !

IGNORANCE is a deadly disease in most islamic communities...

So called Muslim Clerics specially in the Indian Subcontinent should listen to YQ . Some Clerics do harm than good to the society. Bless you Br. YQ.

"I've already dug myself deep enough, might as well say what needs to be said" kinda funny, but so very true. Someone has to speak up and say what is necessary. Why do we, as Muslims, not like these types of "hatred" situations happening against Muslims, but find it OK when it happens by Muslims to others? We should all question ourselves and ask if these actions please Allah. Yes, your right brother Qadhi, we need to concentrate on ourselves and how to be better Muslims, rather than be judge and jury on others. We want forgiveness and mercy, but yet don't want others (Muslim or non-Muslims) to have the same right of forgiveness and mercy. May Allah guide all of us and May Allah bless you brother, for speaking up and telling the truth and condemning what happened.

Who is here after the Nigerian "hausa mobs" madness. Thank God I was guided to this video.

Greatest scholar of present times. Hats off to you Yasir Qadhi sahab

Sheikh honestly I am in love with you. Islam needs warriors like you. I am a student of law in Pakistan and have an interest in Blasphemy laws. After watching numerous videos of Pakistani scholars, I was really disappointed. I Thank Allah that I watched your video, I am relieved now. I am overwhelmed to such an extent that I don't know how to express my feelings. I honestly feel for the Ummah for its emerging radicalized nature. Please make more videos on explaining its details as well. JazakAllah Sheikh once again. LOVE FROM PAKISTAN, HASSAM TAHIR!

May Rabul Alameen create more educated scholars who can guide us on the right track!!! May Rabul Alameen keep you in HIS protection! Ameen Ya Rab!

Mashallah always trust Dr Sheikh Yasir to address difficult and sensitive topics and I agree the actions of that mob who acted totally against rulings of Islam have only tried to defame Islam and Pakistan. Their actions put our muslim bretheren in SL and India and Europe and USA in a precarious and harmful situation.

Ma Shaa Allah, Barakallahu fii wa jazakallahu Khairan. Any knowledge without wisdom is destructive, Allah says in the Holy Qu'an that ...... "speak with unbelievers with patience and good words."..

May Allah (SWT) increase you in wisdom and knowledge. Same mob just happened in Nigeria last week!

Pakistan has so much potential that is being held back by the ignorance that is so widespread in the ummah. May Allah guide us all. Ameen.

Commonsense is not common, YQ is full of wisdom.

Mashaa Allah. Full of wisdom. If only the Ummah used our intellect a bit more and not become so reactionary.

جزاك الله خير very important l

Subhan Allah, May Allah keep you safe, jazakAllahu khyran

Maasha Allah ♥️ This is apt👌 May Allah bless and increase you in knowledge Sheikh.

Well explained. Great. Masha Allah.

This same thing just happened in Northern Nigeria. Preachers are the cause. Shayk made an important point "It makes people popular."

May Allah grant prople of Pakistan wisdom and strength to spesk againt these tyrants. I really admire Yasir Qadi for speaking truth. Pakistani scholars needs to stand up and make law against these cruel people. May Allah give us guidance and enables us to follow the Quran and sunnah of prophet (pbuh)

I have been listening to you for over Seventeen years! I have seen the changes that you made and I changed with you too! I will continue to grow and come close to Allah whith you. what you have said has touch me too. we have similar incident in Ethiopia but I completely stay out of it! I was questioning myself 2 hours before this lecture. have I not protect the Prophet by not joining the mob? I was so guilty because I did not react emotionally! Evryone wants to make me feel bad . I know, I can protect his dignity and Honor by becoming a better muslim family member, neighbor, co-worker in general citizen of the Earth! you answer my question. May Allah protect you from all that wants to harm you!

So rightly said. The blasphemy laws in Pakistan are not aligned to the Islamic Fiqh.

JazakAllah Shaykh, very eloquently addressed this latest unsavoury incident that happed in Pakistan. When things like this happens my heat weeps . Mob rule is simply barbaric -there are laws, checks and balances in Islam that should be adhered to and not allow mob rule to flourish. May Allah protect us all living in Western lands from any backlash.

Salam everyone. I love ISLAM💖❤️❤️

May Allah Azzawajal keep you and your family in his protection Always

May Allah swt bless this great scholar.

MashaAllah Alhamdulillah May Allah SWT protect you my brother and all of us, Aameen Ya Rabbal Alameen.

மிகவும் தெளிவான விளக்கம். இஸ்லாம் என்பதே சாந்தி. உங்கள் கருத்து சமூகமயமாக்கப் படவேண்டும்.

Mashaallah Brother !!!! We need more people like you for our Generations in America 🇺🇸 as well as all around the World 🌎 to clear out the misconceptions that our own people have created and Islam has nothing to do with it. GREAT Lecture !!!!!!!

Scw

He really said it well

Jazakallahu Khayra ya sheikh. MAY ALLAH BLESS AND HAVE MORE MERCY UPON US. ISLAM IS PEACE AND TOLERANCE. When they killed Sumayya(may Allah be pleased with her), tortured muslims The prophet was very tolerant...Let's learn from the best example...swalaLlahu a'layhi wasallam.

❤👍 That's true. Problems always come from some preachers. I know in Somalia how some clerics and preachers behave. And that's why there's still insurgency in Somalia. If only clerics & preachers could preach positively then all could go well.

Allahuma inni asalokal huda wattoqa walafafa wal ghina

We as muslims are so ashamed for this act .

The worst thing you can do to a child is tell the child to memorize or recite a book written or inspired by God-Any book! It impedes the child's critical thinking regarding that book.

❤

Only a handful of people all over the world r doing wrong . It’s our duty to tell these people what is wrong and what is right by our own actions. We know very well that wrong spreads like a fire so we all need to be careful! Allah will help us if we help ourselves!

We have a problem in Pakistan no doubt and another problem is that the educated scholars are not speaking the language these uneducated people understand. The question is how did we go so wrong? Why have we restricted Islam to just the faraiz? Rasool Allah saw was sent as a practical example of how to behave in every situation, why are Muslims not aware of that, and why is Rasool Allah's saw way of behaviour not given importance, taught and encouraged to be followed?

❤🤲🤲🤲 we remember the hadhees where a woman who was proposed to marry the prophet was heard asking Allah to save her from the marriage. The Prophet immediately withdrew the proposal and that ended there.

Based

JazakAllah as u said that its duty of ulema to come forward and educate peoples but mostly we have "Ulema suu"

Respected Yasir Qadi please invite Mudlim Scholar to do something about this issue. Allah ( SWT) rewards you immensely for all you do. Ameen

The holy Prophet would have never have tolerated such behaviour. He was the supreme humanitarian.

I completely understand what you are saying and last fatwa was written in Indian subcontinent was 500 years and after that we don’t have any rules to face modern times and scholar are stick to that and can’t change anything

This is something I always said. Who are we to JUDGE?

Only subcontinent country I see some light is in Bangladesh for their supreme court ordered 20 capital punishment for mob killing...every sub continent countries should follow it ,kudos to the supreme court of Bangladesh

🙏❤🤲🙂...👏👏

frst reasonable person :)

Ignore what they say and counsel them. The Quran 4.63

😢😢😢😢😢😢

“Whoever wants, let them believe. Whoever wants, let them disbelieve.” (Quran 18:29). “There’s no coercion in religion.” (Quran 2:256). “Do not insult those (gods) they invoke other than Allah; lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge.” (Quran 6:108) The Quran gives a non-Muslim person freedom to choose Islam or stay on their religion. No one can be forced to convert to Islam. They will be responsible in front of God on the Day of Judgment for not choosing Islam, the religion of truth. HOWEVER, this freedom to choose Islam was never understood to mean that a person is free to commit treason, sedition, hate speech (blasphemy), or desecrate or insult the sacred. No one has the right to insult any religion and gods. What one does inside their homes is their own business. It may or may not negatively impact public health and safety, but, in general, it is between them and God. Publicly, however, no religion, god, prophet, or anything sacred should ever be publicly insulted, derided, or mocked. Any morally upright human being would avoid such behavior. The Quran forbids Muslims from insulting other people’s false gods (Quran 6:108). This does not mean we’re not allowed to disagree or express opinions based on logic and facts. This does not mean we Muslims are not open to academic challenges. Respectful disagreements are always welcomed in Islam. In fact, the books of theology and law are full of academic debates where the scholars disagree with each other on details. The more knowledgeable I became as I studied classical theology and Islamic legal theory, the more tolerant I became of other scholars’ principled opinions. Historically, apostacy meant treason. And treason meant apostacy. Committing apostacy meant committing treason. Committing treason meant committing apostacy. As such, both were punishable by death. When a person left Islam historically, they almost always joined the enemy. Hence, the treason that results in death penalty.

Please add English subtitles

The scholars of Pakistan should at least preach that take then person to court. Dont take action yourself.

Taking laws into our hands is unislamic and this is very clear even though we do not have a state that rules by Islam comprehensively today. But again we need to be very careful not to choose and pick what is suitable for us in this day and age just because of these incidents in the muslim majority countries. What we lack today is a state that rules by Islam comprehensively!

I want to know, if someone can make it clear, the idea that a non Muslim can't actually ever do blasphemy because they already are blasphemists believing that prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is not telling the truth, how can we ignore what prophet (pbuh) actions were towards a blasphemists at that time, which was to consider punishment (punishing if the nonbeliever absolutely deserved it)?

Blasphemy in Islam. The concept of blasphemy and the current protests and violence in India have baffled me and I am concerned. What is blasphemy in Islam? Broadly, it refers to “Impious utterance or action concerning their God, mocking or vilifying of attributes of Islam and deniying the fundamental beliefs of Islam.” Muslims are very touchy to an even unintended remark on Allah or Prophet Muhammad(Pbuh) or on Quranic verses and react with great aggression. They demand severe punishment including beheading of the person alleged to have insulted. But some of the verses in the Quran and hadiths do not substantiate the above. The views of some of the Islamic scholars also differ on this issue. To emphasise that there is no punishment in Islam for blasphemy, several instances in the life of Prophet Muhammad(Pbuh) as well as verses from Quran and hadiths are quoted. Abdullah bin Ubayyee(chief of hypocrites) continuously abused the Prophet(Pbuh). When he passed away, the Prophet(Pbuh)stood to offer funeral prayers. (Sahib Bukhari, Vol.6, Book 60, Number 92. Then there is the story of Sarah, a woman who used to throw garbage on the way the Prophet(Pbuh) was walking and finally she threw the garbage on his head. But he did not retaliate; instead he visited her when she fell ill touched by his generosity, she became her follower. There is also the story of someone at the instigation of Abhu Jahl, Uqbah bin AbiMueet, heaped the entrails of a camel over the Prophet when he was prostrating in prayer. Yet the Prophet(Pbuh) did not retaliate.(Sahib al.Bukhari 3185). Once when the Propher(Pbuh) was in Mecca, a person came to him and told him face to face “Muzammaman abayana,” that is” Muhammad, you are a condemned person” The Prophet smiled; that smile won him over and he accepted him as a Prophet. Ms. Farida Khanam of CPC International writes in the Times of India Speaking Tree column,”Here are some of the epithets given to the prophets as mentioned in the Quran: “ a liar” (14.24), “possessed”(15.6), “ A fabricator” (16.101, and “ a foolish man”(7.66). However nowhere does the Quran prescribe any physical punishment for these offences”. She continues,”it clearly shows that “ Abuse of the Prophet(Pbuh) is not a subject of condemnation or seeking punishment; rather it is a subject of removing their misunderstanding through sound arguments in order to address their mind”. Even in the early years of preaching, the followers of the Prophet(Pbuh) were tortured and even executed. He himself was abused , ridiculed and Meccan oligarchy pronounced total boycott of his family. The Quraysh divorced his daughters and exiled them. What was the reaction of the Prophet(pbuh)to all these humiliations? Peace!!! From the beginning, the Prophet(Pbuh) admonished his followers against violence. A careful study of the Quran reveals the following” In the first three years, he was apprehensive that his followers would resort violence in conversion of the idolator Quraysh. Hence he said” Let there be no compulsion in religion. True guidance has become distinct from error. But whoever refuses to to be led by Satan and believes in God has grasped the strong handhold that will never break. God is all hearing and all knowing”.(2.256) As his preaching was receiving public approval especially from the poor, he again was concerned that his adherents were inwardly agitated at the atrocities on them and would retaliate, he said, “Say, ‘People of the Book, do not go to extremes in your religion and do not follow the whims of those who went astray before you-they caused many to go astray and themselves strayed from the right path.’” (5.77) Realising that there were still substantial number of Meccans hostile towards him, the Prophet(Pbuh) said,”Had your Lord pleased, all the people on earth would have believed in him without exception. So will you compel people to become believers?”(10.99) When the crusade war was raging, and his followers some of whom were not listening to him, he said towards the end his life, “Say, You who deny the truth , I do not worship what you worship,. You do not worship what I worship. I will never worship what you worship. You will never worship what I worship. You have your religion and I have mine.”(109 1 to 6) Thus it is obligatory on Muslims to abhor violence and follow the Prophet(Pbuh) as a messenger of peace. There is a mistaken belief by radical Muslims that by beheading or killing those who abuse the Prophet, they will go to heaven. On this the renowned Maulana Wahiddudin Khan of CPC International writes in his book on Quran, “Considering any community as a favourite community of God is an absolute meaningless thought. Before God, the reckoning is individual to individual and community to community. Everybody will get his reward before God according to his deeds. In the eyes of God, every man is a human being irrespective of his belonging to this community or that. Every man’s future will be decided on the basis of his performance in this world of tests and trials. Paradise is not reserved for any particular community, nor hell is a prison for any particular community.” Let all of us irrespective of whichever religion we belong take the path of peace and harmony as propounded by the Prophet(Pbuh) when he said, “God calls man to the home of peace and he guides whom he wills to a straight path.” (10.25) “Whoever is patient and forgiving and acts with great courage and resolution, that is among the matters of steadfast determination”(42-43) According to Hadith, ‘A true Muslim is the one who truly follows Islam, someone in perfect peace with himself and with others”. Allah mentioned ’He who kills a soul will be as if he had killed all human kind.” Why then is this beheading or killing? Anger and ego are man’s worst enemies. I am a Hindu and I have read the Holy Quran and the Holy Bible several times and also commentaries thereon besides Hindu scriptures the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. I find the key concepts such as the Birth of the Messengers, their persecution, One God, the Creation and Dissolution of the Universe, Love, War , Peace and Harmony, Heaven and Hell, Surrender to God, the Soul, Forgiveness, Prayer, Fasting, Charity, Food, Miracles and Story Telling are all strikingly similar. You will find these in the Book “One God Many Names” and subtitle’ We are Children of One god’. Quoting from the Upanishads, Swami Vivekananda spoke in the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893: ‘Like so many rivers flowing from different mountains, all coming and mingling their waters in the see, all different religions, taking their births from different points of fact, come to Thee.” All religions lead one to God. As stated by Prophet Muhammad(Pbuh) let us all respect all religions and avoid conflicts due to conversions and abuses. Half of conflicts in the world will disappear. K V Sundaravadanan

General Zia made blasphemy laws under his military dictatorship in 1984 by issuing an Ordinance and his intension was mainly to punish members of Ahmadiyya Muslimien Community and that law was named as "Qadiany Ordinance". A large number of restrictions were imposed against Ahmadi Muslims; such as they could not day Adan, they could not recite the Holly Qur'an, they could not say Kalima Tayaba and many more including they could not say Assalam o Alaikum to any one. If any one accused any Ahmadi of saying Assalam o Alaikum to any one then he would go to the local police station and register a case against that innocent Ahmadi with out any witness. Police would go and arrest that Ahmadi and then no magistrate would hear his case or grant him bail, so that innocent would spend years in awful jail conditions. I know for fact, there are more than 300 innocent Ahmadees in various Pakistani jails for a number of years and government of Pakistan has locked them in jails and thrown the key away.

السلام عليكم many christians beleive in God

Islam in subcontinent is completely different to islam of west and Middle East, why say this some of the tradition and culture are so different you just think where the hell did they find these things how did they introduced in islam, going to peer and mazar, neel front of peer kisses his hand . Those peer have now using media and internet to teach extremists.

He said preaching violence makes you popular

Why on EARTH should ANYONE be killed for simply mocking another person; no matter WHO that person is. That is just barbaric.

You are always so erudite. Really appreciable. However, I wish one thing was elaborated upon - you said there were people at the time of the Prophet who blasphemed but they were forgiven and some were executed also. I want to know what kind of people were executed and whether they had perpetrated other crimes along with insulting the Prophet and Islam, whether the culmination of all those crimes was their execution or did they solely commit the crime of insulting the Prophet. If someone is learned about it, please do share your thoughts with me. Thank you.

Is blasphemy forgivable if done by accident?

Blasphemy can only be towards Allah the One. No prophet, man or angel can be subject to blasphemy. Also you can’t say what does Islam say about… it is what Allah says, and that we know in The Great Quran.

I think it is social media fault because with social-media more people can preach like a religious scholar and seed mob mentality. Also, a layman will follow a popular preacher on social media but unable to identify it as legitimate scholar or not. Much learning and indoctrination will come from listening to preaches in social-media where there's no standardised teaching syllabus and no topics and mostly non-academic (like telling story, telling jokes, and do motivational speeches).

I don't understand how the subcontinent mentality is same divided by borders United by stupidity

How can a true scholar be scared of mob? Where is your knowledge and belief in God

مَن سَبَّا نَبِیًّا فَااقتُلُوہُ جب میرے بارے میں گستاخی ہو تو گستاخ کو کاٹ کے رکھ ... this is also Hadees

I want to testify and get something off my chest : i was just curious about prophet muhammad ( PBUH) 's revelations part and accidently participated in a Anti- muslim channel on youtube, which is recorded, i accidently remarked tgat " Prophet had epilepsy and was tortured " By arabic quresh, does this count as blasphemy? Will i be stoned for doing so? I am repentant and ready to atone for my sin? Edit : non muslim here

What is islamic land

So according to u sir . In 8.27 sec u said ' what greater blasphemy is there , when u allow non muslim to live muslim land . So u r saying being a non muslim in Muslim land is blasphemy .

السلام عليكم desease of drama

Sheik Please give the same lecture in urdu and let it be played in the country in question, as the mufti's there are scared

Speaker is unaware that for the first time scholars from all sects condemned the mob behaviour, and more than 120 people arrested ,involved in the incident

This guy is talking absolute BS!! There is no punishment for blasphemy in the Quran that can be given out by Muslims.

Nice try but can you argue with animals brains.
