This man changed my life and made me a better muslim. If you people only knew.

In 2022 I returned to Islam 40 years later, the religion I was born in. As a young girl from Bangladesh coming to America I had lost my identity, married non-Muslim. Raised two boys as Bahai’s- 40 yrs old and 30 years old now. By the miracle of Allah He guided me back to Islam at age 60 to understand my purpose and existence in this temporary world. I discovered Shaikh Yassir Qadir through his Seerah series. Ever since his lectures and khutbahs have been a guiding light for me to be a true Muslim and guide my family to Islam. It’s a jihad. Please pray for me to have the strength and patience. Dr. Yassir Qadir has been an inspiration to say the least in this journey. Indeed Allah guides those who wish to be on the straight path by gifting us an amazing scholar like Shaikh Yassir Qadir. May Allah grant him and his family Jannatul Ferdous.

Yasir Qadhi's seerah series is what sparked my intense interest in Islam even though i'm a born practicing muslim but i was just going through life doing what was needed but not paying much attention. That seerah series changed my life forever so i will forever say ALHAMDULILLAH that i came across it. May Allah continue to guide Yasir Qadhi and protect him ameen. Jazakumullah bi khair safi bros for this interview!

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi really opened my eyes by the grace of Allah and helped me to come out from being extremist and encouraged me to not only blindly follow other shaykhs and hate others rather study all opinions and see the beauty of Islam. His seerah series is what benefited me the most.
-
His lectures are like treasure hunt ❤. May Allah SWT bless our shaikh with Aafiyah.
-
For me, his seerah series has helped my islam knowledge increase for i am only a reverted muslim.i earned all my knowledge from shaikh YQ...jazakallahukhairan
-
No one has caused me to practice islam more and submit myself to Allah - after Allah himself other than Shaykh Yasir. May Allahs mercy and protection envelope him.
-
Couldn't agree more. He is probably one of the brightest mind in the western world who continues to inspire millions. I was able to go Umrah after listening to one of his lectures and allhumdulilah life has not been the same and changed for the better.
-
This man means wisdom to me. May Allah grants him ease.
-
YQ has really helped me with my Deen and understand it in a way that is beautiful and balanced, we needed him as a role model with so much extreme cultures and misunderstandings, he is a genuine breath of fresh air, i fell in love with the Seerah and the Propehet SAW through his series, its amazing the way he walks you through as if you are there, it connects you to Islam and Quran which is essentially our Prophet's life. May Allah protect and preserve him ameen
-
I can’t thank him enough, I can’t thank him enough for what he brought to my family n children n me! SubhanALLAH!!!
-
All the struggle and the sacrifices he made to his study Allah was setting for us to benefit from his knowledge. I became a better Muslim and gained knowledge from YQ. May Allah swt bless him! I’ll testify to Allah that YQ taught me most Islamic knowledge that I haven’t learned madarasa. Can’t be a day without his lectures or seerah. Alhamdulillah bless u sheik

Yasir Qadhi - The Living Legend of Islam.

This shaykh has changed my life. I found him on YouTube as a western Muslim woman born in a Muslim family, didn’t know my dean. I only listen to his lectures. He’s such a calm, intelligent, knowledgeable, incredible man. It’s an honour to listen to his journey through life, how he is come such a successful man I admire you for all your hard work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Lots of love from Florida.
-
I've benefitted from Shaykh Yasir immensely. May Allah bless him. It was so interesting to get a glimpse of his more personal side.
-
Found Shaykh a few years ago and found his method very conducive to learning the deen. He may even be attributed to saving me from dunya with his lectures and wisdom, of course stemming from previous shuyukhs n ulama. Subhanallah. Thank you for this token of appreciation for our shaykh.
-
So much respect for Sh. Yasir Qadhi

I benefit greatly from Shaykh Yasir. May Allah reward him and protect him. Ameen
