Dear Sheikh, We the students of Bangladesh is facing tremendous injustice by our own government. Please pray for Bangladeshis.
May Allah make it easy for our brothers/sisters in Bangladesh
Shaykh makes soooo much sense....if only all muslim came together and understood this point 🤲
My role model is definitely Dr. Yasir Qadhi❤
He is part of the reasons I love history... Hearing him always sparkles my interest for history all time.
Your role model should be Dr. Yasir Qadhi’s role models: the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and his companions
The Prophet SAW should be our role model
Role model is Prophet Muhammed PBUH
Our beloved prophet should be our role model not Yasir Qadhi.
@@HashimA-ti9guwonderful wonderful outstanding statement of fact. ☪️
SubhanAllah, i m in France and you're 100% right. It's a shame for us. May Allah guide us and give us hikma
I'm also French and I could not agree more! Allahumma Ameen.
Dear admin, please pass this story to Syaikh Yasir Qadhi, I came from the biggest muslim country in the world (after Pakistan, off course) and for the last decade there was a "movement" called to purified the Islam and their clerics and ulamas forbid us to vote and they gave haram fatwa to join the politic.
As the result for about a decade, the liberals and non muslim took over the political leadership in this country, and as predicted they were making situations very uncomfortable for us, but still those clerics persuaded us to avoid anything about politic.
But this year the table is turning, a good leader from this ummah, had tried to persuade those clerics to change their fatwa about democracy and voting, and as result this year more muslims went voting and as predicted now we have more politicians that pro muslim, situations still the same but slowly things will get better in here,
my point is, as you already said in your lecture, we need to come together and overcome our differences, because there are many bigger issues than our different views of fatwas, this ummah need to come together.
Thank you again for your great lectures, may Allah always bless you and your family and give you many rewards.
Which country?
I have a feeling he is referring to Turkey, but correct me if I am wrong.
Allahu akbar sheikh! we are blessed to have you in this day and age
It is heartbreaking. It is horrific. May Allah SWT protect our Palestinians ❤
And all Muslims suffering oppression globally, Ameen, Ya Rabb, ameen!!!
I’m American and very proud of my heritage. Voting is critical to shaping this nation for the greater good.
A master piece from Dr. Yaser. Every Muslim in the west must watch this lecture and know their potential in making internal political change that can impact the Umah future.
There is none worthy of worship in thruth except ALLAH
You have spoken the ultimate truth! Oh Allah, bear witness that I also bear witness!
@@BlueHood345☝️
....And Muhammad(saw) is the messenger of Allah.
Just casually having a terrorist as your profile pic. Maybe, back in 2014, you had an ISIS member as your pic.
MashaAllah. Very powerful speech by the Sheikh. I pray that more muslims benefit from his speech. Ameen.
Epic talk. Exactly what we Muslims in the West needed to hear. God bless Sheikh Yasir.
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas were asked:
Is it permissible to vote in elections and nominate people for them? Please note that our country is ruled according to something other than that which Allaah revealed?
They replied:
It is not permissible for a Muslim to nominate himself in the hope that he can become part of a system which rules according to something other than that which Allaah has revealed and operates according to something other than the sharee’ah of Islam. It is not permissible for a Muslim to vote for him or for anyone else who will work in that government, unless the one who nominates himself or those who vote for him hope that by getting involved in that they will be able to change the system to one that operates according to the sharee’ah of Islam, and they are using this as a means to overcome the system of government, provided that the one who nominates himself will not accept any position after being elected except one that does not go against Islamic sharee’ah. End quote.
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh ‘Abd al-Razzaaq ‘Afeefi, Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Ghadyaan, Shaykh ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Qa’ood.

"We have an obligation to come together for the greater good of the people/country" ❤
Masha Allah another eye opener for the ummah. May Allah blessings continue to be on u ya sheikh.
Call for Islam completely and comprehensively .
Great message for all the muslims, whoever heard it should spread it inshallah
Our beloved Prophet PBUH had used diplomacy for the good of our Deen and the Umma, so we need to follow him as a role modal in every aspect of our lives.
This is the most logical and straightforward advice to western Muslims. In Nigeria Muslims influence democracy in every facet of Nigerian Democracy, for that Islam is steadfast in Nigeria.
Nope, Muslims only should or can vote or elect a leader when the situation is permissible by Islam, like selecting a community leader or a leader for some purpose like building a masjid or in a journey or any sort. But when the system is non Islamic, then Muslims can’t elect or select or participate, rather convey the Dawah to Islamic solution and benefit of implementation of Islam which is always relevant, even if you don’t want to understand the weight of the Deen of Allah. Muslims can elect or select or vote when the system is Islamic already, otherwise the dhulm or injustice of Kufr will be justified. And, this is clearly not related to the treaty of Hudaibiya. There was nothing non Islamic in the treaty of Hudaibiya even if it was apparently humiliating towards Muslims. It is not simplistic, rather jumping towards the incorrect secular capitalistic liberal ideas is simpler but can’t solve the problems of anyone really. Man made ideas aren’t based on any correct doctrine anyway. Look at the banking system that runs on the idea of usury, look at fractional reserve banking system, etc. And under this so called great western systems, we saw Hiroshima, we saw Nagasaki, we saw Vietnam, we are seeing Palestine, etc. You don’t get yourself out of society but you don’t get engaged and subscribe to the wrong system. Why are you trying to make advanced things simple and simple things advanced and complicated, have clear faith in Allah SWT.
Honestly, all the Yasir Qadhi haters need to seriously calm down. Try to actually LISTEN to what he has to say and UNDERSTAND what his actual views are. So many people take his quotes completely out of context, and decetifully portray him as a deviant muslim. Authu Billah.
Please brothers and sisters, just stop this. Allah swt knows what you are doing. Don't fall into the trap of misrepresenting, telling lies, and even speaking behind the back of your Muslim brother.
Campaigned VERY hard in Virginia in the Primary Election, we knocked on about 500 doors per day for the primary yet had a low Muslim turnout.
Got a ton of dismissive in sha Allah's or just indifference, apathy, sloth.
Frustrating and sad.
Voting in the US is harram, no matter who you choose you will have muslim blood on your hand, no matter what YQ the sell out says or your aspirations for a career in politics have you do. Shame on you and god bless evry muslim that refuses to be a pawn in the hands of the corrupt so called muslim leaders, shame on uou and on YQ. I'll spit on your face if you ask me to vote at my door
Don't give up... you will be victorious inshallah...
I am not from your community so I can't speak for them; but maybe they just don't care; I mean what difference will it make to me
Who were you campaigning for?
Muslims don’t have anything to vote for. We’re choosing between evil vs evil.
We need a French Yasir Qadhi in Paris
My best scholar Allahumma barik
Absolutely necessary and relevant all Muslims ..especially in the west!
JazakAllah khayran Shaykhna
Hello, from Mauritius. It seems like I am the first person to comment. Assalamu'alaikum everyone who is reading this 😁.
Wa alaikum salam ❤
Wonderful and strongest speech...
The bravest heart is the one that stays close to Allah ﷻ even if it is in pain.
Muslims should vote. They are the part of the community. God knows best
Religiously motivated votes in a society that promotes freedom from religion should not even be valid.
Dont be simpletons but be deep thinkers!!!
Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah for Shaykh Yasir Qadhi!!!
I am a Nigerian. Your view on politics is worldwide. The Muslims must wake up and join politics for the benefit of mankind. Thank you, Dr. Yasir.
I appreciate this perspective but please be clear that African American Muslim communities have always been involved in civic processes, from Malcolm X going to Selma to meet with voting rights activists to W.D. Muhammad political engagement to Dr. Sherman Jackson speaking at the Democratic National Convention. So please be clear about this conversation is for immigrant Muslims and not the rest of us. We've been involved for decades.
Very enlightened and specific to our problems speech. I hope more of us listen to him!
Well said, Absolutely true, may Allah reward you and give proper understanding to our Ummah.
Jazakum Allah Khair
May Allah Accept your works, and make it a means of acceptance and Guidance for the Ummah!
To confirm for the sheikh: this is a moment where the unstructured talk turned into something good. I love how you founded your argument first in the Seerah, a powerful lesson and example.
To the editor: When you put a video out as "Premiere" we don't get the option to save it to Watch Later. I think this makes it inconvenient and counter-intuitive.
Assalamualaikum Sheikh Yasir, I humbly request you to speak out against the ongoing atrocities and censorship committed by the Government of Bangladesh against its own people
He has in the last jum'a khutbah and also on his social media.
May Allah grant ease to the Muslim ummah ameen
Wa alikom assalaam. He has. May Allah protect our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh and end the oppression.
@@yasmeensalhab4623Ameen!!!
Jazakullah Khair
I found my answer from this speech.
May Allah open our eyes with wisdom and Taqwa. May Allah mature us in this critical situation.
Astounding, informative and engaging lecture ❤
May Allah bless Br yasir QAdi. He is the best speaker and the best islamic history teller. May Allah give him a long and healthy
Life with all other islamic scholars. Amin ya rabal alamin . I hope i see him from close some time. Amin
Not voting is already a political stance to let other people lead and control the communities, the nations decisions and policies.
In all circumstances it is better to vote for what is better.
Salaams, I live in Southern California in the county of San Bernardino and we have the highest populated state in the nation. I became a American citizen in August 2009 and yes I do vote as always, especially for propositions and laws for the greater benefit for our society. This November 5, 2024 I will vote YES to increase the California minimum wage to $18 an hour from $16 an hour to adjust for inflation and to help myself and others increase in wealth to stabilize our personal expenses and savings. Good talk by the way, walikum asalaam.
❤
Subanaallah, this is a great video, shukran Imam, I really wish you and your community would connect with Imam Dr Bilal Ware, they are running a power campaign I think aligns most with the Muslim perspective, may Allah make it EASY🤲🏾
I never knew voting was considered haram
He is absolutely correct, I am also a student getting degree in political science
Read the biographies of statesmen , they are mixed bags not scuttling the boat , they need everyone and have to make everyone happy
Muhammad Ali Jinnah , Ruhollah Khomeini , Mohammad Morsi , Imran Khan, Erdogan, Gamal Abdel Nasser, King Faisal , Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Ahmed Sukarno, Mahatir Mohammad etc etc , the list goes on
Great speech Sheikh. Jazakallahu Khairan
Who is the lesser or the two evils?
JazakAllah Khair for this powerful , educational lecture. May Allah guide our Ummah to go vote. Each vote counts! Make your elected official accountable. 🙏
جزاک اللہ خیرا
I solute you Br yasir for your beautiful and eyes-opening speech about the coming election. Thank you again brother. It is important that all the citizens and especially the muslim community understand what and who is important for this country to win the election. We appreciate it.
I am not America and I am Muslim and this is
my opinion about USA election
If I am America citizen I vote for
Madam Kamala Harris
14.49 you nailed it.mashllah brother yasser..
MashaAllah .I follow u from Bangladesh 💖💖
Jazakallah Khair Sheikh.
AL'HUM'DULLAH 'ALLAH, SHIE'YKH DR. YAH'SHRI QUE'DEII, YOUR THE ONE!!!! LOVE YOUR INTELLECTUAL IDEALS OF CREDICAL THINKING!!!! SAME PROBLEMS HERE ON THE REZ!!!!MAH'SAH'ALLAH

Shukran for this discussion. Would like to add, can we please include Sudan, the Congo and all other places currently going through genocide and famine in our discourse. There are muslims in these places as well. May Allah have mercy on us all and bring peace and blessings to the oppressed.
Alhamdulillah Gaza united us❤
With all due respect! Sheikh YQ, you just eliminated the Other Opinion by Labeling it Simple & "Fundamentalist"...The same labels non muslim use, ex. "Extremist". You were not Just. Regardless of how repetitive the opinion is, It is well established with clear references . THE 🐘ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM IS: We Either participate in their systems (Democracy) with heavy compromises or Grow the Guts to Build Your Own (As is the Sunnah). The Later is Harder But Eternally Rewarding. May Allah Guide Us All and Give Us The Courage To Fulfill Our Fard
Not voting and allowing the greater of the 2 evil persists is an easier choice to make..the real choice I'd to take is to prevent the authority from blocking efforts of the forces of good to persist..Trump and his cabinets are bigger threat to thr world and Muslims around d the world.
Respected brother/sister - are you suggesting that we "build our own" system of government in America? Or outside America?
Sheikh's point (in part) is that while you live in America, then your obligation is to participate as an American citizen. In totality.
Truth hurts at times, the time for sugar coating went when France came a step away from voting in the national front due to Muslim inactivity
Very nonslavelike nonconformist and honourable expression by you. This kind of challenge is rare amongst Muslims in USA AND UK who are beguiled by western Ulema. You ought to be commended for your rendition. ☪️
Harsh tone and bitter reality is the way to awake the muslimah, its the need of the hour. Just get over it.
What a wake up call!!
Mashallah sheikh YQ.. May Allah SWT protect you, and bless you, you are so inspiring. Powerful talk as always.
Assalamualaikum sheikh , thank you for highlighting the situation in France, and yes we are fighting the fundamentalist views that say it is haram or shirk to vote, this video will be shared to my brother's and sister's here inshAllah.
May Allah bless and continue to ground Dr Qadhi in knowledge and ease in able to speak on affairs that affect us daily.
im not voting in US Presidential elections
Not voting is a vote for Trump
It would be a mistake not to vote because that means MORE VOTES FOR A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WILL MAKE LIFE DIFFICULT FOR ETHINIC AND MINORITIES! ALL OF YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE ABSTAINING FROM VOTING NEED TO RETHINK!
Why only present 2 stark options -- now choose the lesser of the 2 evils. There is always a third option: not voting. Why is that not an option? When you tell people, you have to choose the lesser of 2 evils, that implies you HAVE to choose one of these. No, you don't HAVE to.
Choosing not to vote just increases the majority of the winning party.
For example in the UK, majority of labour MPs abstained from the ceasefire vote, which allowed the Tories who voted against to allow Israel to continue the genocide.
The third option is voting for third parties to weaken the majority of the two parties. Therefore, reducing the amount of power the elected party has.
Very valuable talk. Please also post the Q and A part of this session if there was one...
Thnx
I have learned a lot .
A very intelligent man, Allah has blessed him with that knowledge 🙏 to educate 🙏 us.
I am French citizen and he is so right about France. We are so stupid and weak. It’s so sad.
We need this kind of speech.
Theres no need to be *this* careful about people misunderstanding simple things.
I think what you're saying is fairly clear but you keep clarifying unnecessarily imo, and this is destructive since it takes away from your speech and its impact
I feel there is a difference between your perception of what a viewer thinks about what you're saying vs what we do think.
You are clarifying what is already clear (imo) but a few uncertain things in what you say is left unclarified
Sir Muslim population in USA IS UNDER 3% of population of USA .
As always thought provoking lectures
May Allah guide us to do what is right and to unite our Umah
Assalamualaikum WRWB Sheikh! Once again a logical and relevant talk. I wish you ran for a position in the parliament or Presidential election. I dream for a world where people like you are political leaders. May Allah SWT increase you and protect you and your family.
Masha Allah tabarak beautiful advice, jazak Allah khair
Kufr bit thagut, wa iman billahi. Kufr bit thagut comes first, anyone who does not implement kufr bit thagut is clearly not a muslim, be extremely careful of how you structure your opinions. Anyone who call to the leadership and support to any socio-political system other than Islam is a thagut himself and must be rejected. The solution lies in walking a much harder road than this soft passive road of voting and sitting back and protesting while the ummah is being decimated, the solution is the same and will always remain the same as that implemented by the Righteous Chaliphs and sahhabàs, establishing upright Islimic Leadership , uniting the Ummah loyal to upholding the Deen of Islam as the only legitimate way of life commanded by Allah as a wa jal. Migration is the option given by Allah from being forced to support the Thagut , did you forget that corner stone pillar.
Lovely background and general presentation. MashaAllah
Just popped back in here to say YES! Okay, Salaams...
My only Question when thus topic comes up is who freed the Black African Slave? Wad it religion?
My next question is what united the States in to one?
You'll need to agree it was politics it was Abraham Lincoln and his Congress and it was the Constitution that united the states!
From Kerala India ❤
Al-Hamde li-Allah Forever الحمد لله دائما و أبدا
💯 from South Africa VOTE its your right
Very good shaikh
I've lost count of how many times Shaykh has said, "we don't have the luxury....."
May Allah grant us tbe understanding, sincerity and unity ameen
لا حولہ ولا قوتہ الا باللہ ۷۵ فیصدہ د فرانسی مسلمانان پہ انخاباتو کہ شرکت نہ کوی او وټونہ نہ ورکوی ھمدا علت دہ چہ بعضی ددوی ذلیلہ او پہ عیش او عشرت کی مصروفہ او لہ اسلامہ لری دی۔ اللہ ج دی دویتہ ھدایت د نیکۍ وکړی۔ البتہ دوی د الجزایر لہ انقلابہ خبر نہ دی چہ ھغوی څومرہ قربانی د اسلام او د خپل وطن لپارہ ورکړی دی اللہ ج دی پہ مسلمانانو باندی رحم او فضل وکړی امین یا رب العالمین
I think the issue in France is that many Muslims look to be not prioritizing the Deen and I don't think it is related to voting (I think that person is referring to a very small proportion)
Salam, I relate election of the khulafa e rashideen after the Prophet (saw) by electoral vote because few people were nominated and some elders, not the whole city, selected their choice. The one with most hand shake (aka bait) won the khilafa.
Hope this helps.
We never realised how valuable our vote is until we lost it miserably. Please, do not regret later.
Waiting
Brutal truth
Very insightful lecture
Pl give time for questions
Can somebody, please, explain what was the rational for declaring voting a haram?
Assalamu alaykum, how can I ask a fiqh question about e-commerce and dropshipping. With all the arguments for and against it being halal? And if it turns out to be haram, what is halal alternative that can compete with it's haram version?
alhamdulillah
Assalam alaikum Shaykh Brothers & Sisters in Islam. I agree with you Shaykh. Muslims in the swing states like Michigan Pennsylvania should vote. But not just vote, they need to approach Kamala Harris now she’s talking about ceasefire and two states solution and that what all Muslims want today so if we hear a politician saying she wants to do that the Muslims should vote for her and once she is in office keep pressure on her and have her keep her promises, and remember she will want a second term. So Shaykh please talk to the Muslims in the swing states of Michigan and Pennsylvania to get engaged insha’Allah we may get something out of her than trump. Insha’Allah. Assalam alaikum.
This is not rudely blunt by the standards of your viewers Sir.
I think personally that you can be more blunt than this.
maashaah
when your fundamentals are compromised what you going to achieve in senate and parliament ?
You don't isolate or assimilate try to engage this might be the right thought in western politics.
