S.A. Please for every one of your critics, there is a thousand of us that loves your research. Remember that. May Allah increase you in all that is good!
Well said!
I really love these different topics Yasir Quadhi covers. Great research and intellectual. Alhamdulillah.
Qadi you mean
I looooooooooved this! I've always secretly wondered what the shaykh will bring of his chem eng knowledge! I actually laughed out loud 🤣 when the shaykh started doing Trig.... polymath! ❤ Subhanallah, there is something so profound in the combination of maths and Imaan, I love this! ❤ I firmly believe that you have to worship Allah swt through exploring His signs in the world around you too and not only through sacred texts. The point he's made in maintaining balance here is incredibly important. There is a great imbalance when it comes to exploration and worldly innovation among Muslims, this area is being stunted due to misunderstandings around bid'a, and as a result Muslims now are comparatively so stagnant in this subhanallah. Like the religious classes in Pakistan pressured the govt. to remove an Ahmadi economist who was rated top 25 brightest, not because of competency, but because he was Ahmadi! If you're dying you don't go to a 'deviant' doctor too!? I mean was this economist going to be on a fiqh council giving religious fatwa's?
Rational Science. Religious Science. The Tension. The Compromise. The Chronicles. The Critics. Do Justice to the Truth. Historic Registrar. The Narrator. The Methodology. Presents Opponents' Belief as a Neutral. The Non-Participant Observer. The Polymath. The Contradiction.
And the cryptic conclusion of the Sh Professor.
JazakAllah Khairan Kathira. Thank you so much. For lightening these dark lockdown days of the pandemic. SubhanAllah.
i will pay for library chats every week ♥️ mashallah
May Allah grant you shifa Shaykh and reward you for your efforts and struggles ameen.
Ameen.
Wassalam aleykoum ..I am Albanian from Skopje and I always listening the lectures of shaikh Y. Qadhi and I mostly agree with shaikh and there are a lot of to learn from you dear shaikh. Thank you and may All-llah reward you with jannet-ul firdews.
0ppp0,,
Aslamoalikum sheikh, I love your lectures (LOVEEEE THEM). You are saying things that I have thought about for a LOOOOOOOOONNGGGGG TIME. You are what give me hope for our ummah. Your service is HUGELY appreciated, and you are THE SHEIKH I look to for issues for you have a great understanding of the ground level.
PLEASE DO NOT EVER STOP YOUR WORK. YOU ARE BASICALLY MY LIFELINE.
YOUR WORK IS HUGELY APPRECIATED AND YOU ARE UNDERAPPRECIATED.
YOU HAVE CRITICS, AND THOSE ARE TESTS FOR YOU TO PURIFY YOU FURTHER.
DO NOT STOP PLEASE.
Really excited that you have given light to the muslim philosophers. Other philosophers of the muslim umma have also contributed a lot and they should also have the same recognition. Maybe a video on ibn-rushd, ibn arabi, ibn sina, etc...
Ibn-rushd contributed more to western society than to islamic one.
You are just obsessed by your religeon. Biruni and others like him would still be doing this regardless of thier religeion. It just happned to be under the islam at the time and nothing else. Indeed the main teaching of ulama in Islam never approved this kind of works as your professor is saying. He had backround in more ancient tradition and cultures from India, to Persia to Greece, not of Saudi Arabia where Islam came from.
@@manog8713
Wow you could tell what was inside Biruni’s head and heart? That is amazing.
One of the greatest scholars whom I love because of his marvelous research on Islamic global history
Some thoughts:
1. The ideal is that people should acquire a reasonable background in theological matters (and have "taqwa") before they seriously pursue and produce worldly knowledge (sciences). The danger with worldly scholars (such as Ibn Sina perhaps) is that they may exceed their expertise and propagate some philosophical ideas which are alien to Islamic values and such ideas may be detrimental in the long run for the society. In fact without religious knowledge we may even get misguided and misguiding (often second-rate, militant) scientists such as those that are a nuisance these days. Here this mainly refers to theoretical subjects, not experimental sciences (observations and data) and applications (engineering and technology).
2. Religious scholars in power could still in theory follow the practice of the rightly guided Caliphs, who allowed multiple points of view and did not exceed the bounds. It's about the quality of leadership, rather than where the leadership comes from. What is needed are wise statesmen who are God fearing and who can shape the society in the light of Islamic principles. By definition such people cannot be fanatical.
3. As a rule, religious beauty and perfection is to be preferred and desired over worldly glory. God alternates success between nations, and success in this world should not be preferred over the ultimate success. This does not mean abandonment of worldly knowledge, but a reordering of our priorities.
4. Engaging in worldly affairs (i.e., producing worldly knowledge) is alright as long as the intention is that of benefitting mankind (defined broadly) and as long as that one is sincere in one's worship. This is explicitly mentioned by Imam Ghazzali rh, in the context of earning a living.
Thank you.
What an ending!! 😁
Btw, shaykh you covered a lot of thing in a cryptic way. I liked the way you presented the concept, people should think rather than just being a taprecorder.
May Allah bless you and our ummah. 💗
Alhamdulillah very interesting, professor Shaykh Qadhi, i really appreciate these history lessons.... Please write a history book!!
May Allah reward you sheikh
Great topics to ponder upon, described with expertise as usual. Jizaak Allah.
Well executed, MashaAllah
JAZAK ALLAH YA SHEIKH, MAY ALLAH PRESERVE YOU.
May Allah Bless You Doc. You Are Truly a Gem In Our Ummah! We Love You For All That You Do & More Masha’Allah!
JazakAllah khayr!
Sheikh, don’t bring up your critics just share your knowledge and leave it at that. May Allah reward you.
I’ll be teaching phases of the moon to a group of 7-10 y.o this week. I’m
So happy to see this video
Here! Here! I agree with Shaykh, Doctor & Professor Qadhi
Barakallahu fik Shaykh, definitely food for thought!
....People need to have their thinking 'topis' on when listening to shaykhna! 😊
Salam, what an excellent library chat. I have never had of this individual nor his contributions to Islamic civilization. I can not thank you enough, sheikh. Jazakumullahu khairan.
Assalamu ‘alaykum. Your sign-off made me genuinely LOL. These history lessons have been eye opening masha’Allah.
Btw, a person who is proficient in multiple languages is called a “polyglot”.
As-Salaamu Alaikum Sheikh. InShaaAllah you read this comment.
I follow your lectures and greatly respect your opinions.
One thing I feel is, orthodoxy and it’s ilm, ilm of the dunya or politics or whatever it’s are the two sides of the same coin. Prophet Muhammad(SAW) has depicted this beautifully with the guidance of Allah(SWT).
One slight and very lean disagreement is that, Ulema today should reach to the level of knowledge of the world. Then there won’t be any issues in Ulema leading with power in their hands.
Alhamdulillah we have you, just as what I described.
It’s all understood when we know the Hikma of our ancestors through History
I think you're making a fallacy right here it's not only these two options there is a third one for example if ibn sina did his medicine and left the theological philosophical issues to their experts no one would attack him and its not the heretical stuff that made ibn sina excel in his medical field which contributed truly to this civilization
and this applies to all the polymaths back then
At first it seemed like a good comment. But even astronomy was haram according to ulema of that time. So would these people flourish if they were banned or worse executed?
@@Kashif_Mahmood microparts of astronomy related to the deen were unencouraged like calculating the time of prayers and ramadan because of religious teachings like the hadith "Fast when you see it and stop fasting when you see it"
One of the things that made people like ibn sina and ibn rushd innovaters in their fields was that they liked to push the boundaries of contemporary understanding and that often included what is acceptable (and what isn't) in islamic understanding.
@@thenewblog SupahanAllah you said that. I was literally mentioning this to another brother further down in the comment section that one thing not taken into account in this "clash" is that science was not as separated from theology as it is now and many of these early "sciences" had magic and theological beliefs in them.
Dude, even printing on papers were haram back then. Right now all Muslims write and print books, journals and papers. Even ulama does it. So how do you concur this into sticking to the boundaries between science and religion? Al-Biruni calculated astronomy to calculate prayer time which we all use now to plan our day. But back then it was haram. Science and religion are not separated. We’re just more into one field than another. They were never fully separated.
Mashallah a very beneficial and inspiring lecture . May Allah preserve you and protect you Sheikh and grant you Jannatul Firdose.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Al Biruni reminds me of some of the works of Taqi al-Din al-Nabhani and his books like:
- Presence Of Mind (Sur'at Ui - Badeehah)
- The Islamic Personality Volume 1 (Ashakhsiya Al Islamiya) : Intellectual and Islamic Sciences
- Economic System of Islam
- Thinking (at-tafkeer)
Professor Yassir... please make more episodes about other intellects... Ibn Rushd known to the west as Averroes, Aljazari, Al Tussi, Ibn Shatir, Banu Mussa Brothers, Maryem Al Ostorlabi... and more
Sheikh yasir for 4years I am watching your videos I noticed you are getting more and more handsome 😍😀❤️
ma shaa Allah, sher. what an interesting personality you are. jazaka Allahu khair for yet another class. Allah yerda alik. ameen. salam.
These library chats cater to a lacuna, which if properly catered to, can usher the Islamic Renessance of our time that is inshaAllah slowly but surely looming at the horizon. JazakAllah.
I appreciate Sheikh very much.
Thank you soooo much Sheikh. Such a fascinating guy. These were the scholars who were my childhood heros/idols.
Thanks again for this amazing lecture.
I love listening to Yasir Qadhi. He is an intellectual and one can learn a lot from him. Critics come with the territory, although I can guess that they do not have this level of intellect.
Mashaallah Allah, Sheikh this is a very unique Topic and it's can show how vibrant and dynamic Islamic Culture and traditions were and very mind intrusive thoughts.Alhamdulliah.
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و براكاته
Thank you Shaikh Had been waiting for a long time...
ماشاء الله
Excellent lecture
Jazaka Allah. Good lecture! Just a reminder: Abu Erraihan was his favourite name given to him by his mum as a child because of his genius. Also El biruni was the first to discover that the Earth revolves on its own hence we have day and night as he was watching celestial bodies.
JazakAllahu khayran
Alhamdulillah for people like you Sheikh
May Allah bless you teacher ,and give you sakiynah to your heart .
@camel toe That's not what he said and you should actually listen to his explanation instead of parroting things you heard. He doesn't take the mainstream modern opinion and goes with another classical opinion that is not as popular today hence his statement. Here is the video where he does an intellectual beat down on the missionaries abusing what he said and clarifying what he meant:
ua-cam.com/video/kR34v-IIyeY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=YasirQadhi
Geography as Science of Earth is as important as fiqah to know the exact direction of Kaba, timings of prayers, fasting etc, essential conditions for two basic ibadat pillers of Islam.
Yes FINALLY A few days waiting for a
New upload seems like months! I cannot wait to listen to this!
I think it was the clergy at the time of Hazrat Esa(AS) who wanted to punish Hazrat Esa(AS). So my answer is pretty simple that the Allah want us Muslims to explore and appreciate and describe His beautiful creation.
Surah Al-Ankaboot Ayah 20 says:
قُلۡ سِيۡرُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ فَانْظُرُوۡا كَيۡفَ بَدَاَ الۡخَـلۡقَ ثُمَّ اللّٰهُ يُنۡشِئُ النَّشۡاَةَ الۡاٰخِرَةَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌۚ
Which in simple word means that explore this world and see how Allah has started the creation.
Darwin went on a journey, explored the pacific ocean, visited number of location, pondered over different species and gave a theory. Yes there can be defects in that theory but is this not the method Allah prescribed to get to know the beginning of the creation?
and i believe Darwin theory is near to truth than what the clergy tell us.
So Quran is always, always asking especially Muslims to explore and ponder and demystifying the beauty of Allah's creation and we cannot do it without decoding the formulae and theories of different processes of nature.
A great and eye opening discussion.Thank you.
What an awesome shaikh you are. May allah preserve you and the likes of your teachings for the generations to com and may allah produce Alim of your kind ameen
You should really do a talk about astrology in Islamic world historically. The hadith about astrology never leaving the ummah is interesting as Cairo and Baghdad were established on astrological principles.
Machaallah Alik cheikh
Just cant stop watching your videos
Hope to see you in Morocco inchaallah
I enjoyed the lecture, as I always do, but I want to share my opinion on the last part of the topic.
I think, as Sheikh has himself discussed many times himself, with the Hindsight of today, and with the current understanding and tolerance which he preach and open mindedness, which he and other good Ulema preach, I think, it is possible to consolidate Deen and Siyasah in a body. As it was with the Rasool Ullah PBUH and Anbia AS before him, we CAN get a tolerant, just, humble, holistic, Government, and if I go on a stretch, it is the future of the Ummah/any muslim nation to do that.
My 2¢
He was definitely Ashari.
Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2017. 31-70. "For example, Ibn al-Haytham and Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī were among the most important medieval scholars who used the scientific method in their approach to natural science, and they were both Ash'arites"
I found this lecture very interesting and informative.
Note Turkmenistan, Afghanistan,Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, some part of Iran, some parts of India now Pakistan were called Khurasan and the capital city was Ghazni and Balkh( both cities are in Afghanistan.
Abu Rayhan Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Biruni died and buried in Ghazni Afghanistan
Please Sheik make a video on the first Indian Mutiny. Jazak
MashaaAllah. Very powerful lecture.
Assalaam alaikum... that felt like a really short lecture... then realised it was 52 minutes.... SubhanAllah...
Professor can you please make informative video about Shah Waliullah Dehlvi and his methodologies about conciliation between different thoughts so on and so forth.
you are a good man and definitely, a great scholar of our time, don't bother too much about your critique, seems like you care about those things, it will not be good for some one's mental health, I do like some of your critiques' opinion too, I don't like the criticism of each other on public, without scrutiny earth cant run, so don't bother, may Allah grant you shifa.
Interesting lecture you've put forth but here's my contention. You yourself said towards the end, that our salvation lies in our deen not in scientific discoveries. So if the ulama were in power over people like Biruni or ibn Sina, perhaps some scientific progress would have been halted but a lot less people would have been misguided and would have been saved from eternal punishment which is much more precious to any believing Muslim than a few "bragging rights". It's even possible that if the orthodox scholars were in power strange aqaid wouldn't even have been developed by Biruni or others since they would probably standsrdize the orthodox aqeedah and have it taught publicly.
However these are all "what ifs" and our job is to judge by the apparent. God's law (Sharia) has to be implemented and whether it "hinders science" or not is irrelevant
“If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”
-Albert Einstein
Hope all got here my point who were the Giants?
As "man from the west" and "infidel" I have to agree 100% - exactly the reasons for the stagnation of your civilization that are given in our books. Please note that in Christianity there are also factions in which there is a varying degree of "separation between Church and State," as we call it. It is the smallest in Orthodoxy and the largest in Protestantism. The Orthodox countries are the most backward and the Protestant ones the least. The solution for your civilization is to copy the idea of a university 100% autonomous from politics or religion, it provides in return competent lawyers, mathematicians, doctors, clergymen, etc. You must hurry - our civilization is collapsing, which is seen not only by specialists but even ordinary people, so in Within a few decades, you must be able to take over her legacy so that most of it does not end up in the furnaces, as do most of the scrolls from the Library of Alexandria. You guys reinventing how to manufacture a microprocessor would be absurd, wouldn't it?
Worldly prospects, as marvelous as they may sound, for the most part have no true weight in the eyes of the shari'ah. al-Biruni was a very erudite man from what this lecture demonstrates, and we may benefit from others like him, but if theological orthodoxy were to require, no amount of geodesy is enough to overturn a decision of reprimanding a man of heresy, or even executing him. As said man will realize, it will weigh little to none on his scales on Judgement Day, and even the most scientifically prolific man, on that Day, will wish to go back and play better cards in favor of his religion. Unfortunately for him, no amount of regret will grant him this wish. So while we appreciate these feats, the "clash" is very much specious. Amazing talk nonetheless.
I wanted this exactly..
In the end of the day the radius of the earth is interesting..... but in the end.... it was the deen and which our salvation is lies ....alhamdulilah for our giant ulamas who defended,preserved our pure tradition of islamic teachings......well ending phrases shaykh.
Assalamualaikum sheikh
Can you summarize the history of umayyad ,abbasid,fatimid,mamluks, ottomans .....like each episode one of them ..very brief with the rulers ,few famous incidents ,their decline etc..
May Allah bless you
You Bairuni'ed the Bairuni ! i.e you followed the Bairuni method here. I'm surprised I never heard of him. I've heard of Avecina and Averroes and ibn Tufayl, but not Bairuni.. 😅 maybe because he doesn't fit in a box?
Suggestion: I love the phonetic spelling of his name. But let's reach a bigger audience and have "Bairuni" also in the title for this to pop-up for searchers
Shaykhana, Ibn Khuldun really deserves some screen time too.
Shaikh: I love and admire the information you provide, and you do not need to apologize to anyone. Al Beruni video is great as well as on Mukhtar’s revolt. The two people I am interested to hear from you are : Mansoor Hallaj and Alfirdousi .
Another thing, is you mentioned about Allama Iqbal and his beliefs about jannah or Mairaj. I believe that you really meant Syed Ahmad khan founder of Aligarh Muslim university who expounded that these were not physical experiences. JazakAllah for all the knowledge.
Al-Biruni is one of the greatest mind of all times. And the greatest Indiologist of all times without any dispute.
Amazing, a genius!... And Bayruni was a genius too!
Salaam from Nottingham Uk
Wa alaykumassalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Dr brings us this great knowledge that he has acquired over the years. the best way to thank him is not skipping the ads on the videos. The algorithms pick it up for monetization. I know Dr don't need the moneyies bt never the less its not haram.
I don't think there are ads on this channel. Wallahu a'lam.
If you're watching on your phone, then the ad is probably put up by the app...
I can hear them now...." He thinks he can just take off his Shaikh-ness like a hat"😡......😆
😂😂😂
I look forward to these library chats in great eagerness and anticipation. Fascinating knowledge delivered in captivating style, Alhamdulillah. Keep it up 'Professor' Qadhi 🙂
love sheikh Yasir ♥️
Jazakallahu khair ❤️Interesting .. We need more lectures from professor side
Maybe the middle-ground is the critics to stick to their criticism of opinions rather than issuing blanket condemnations of individuals or engaging in outright demonisation. Maybe they should leave the matters of the individual to Allah, while criticising their unorthodox beliefs.
There is Biruni university in Istanbul Turkey. thanks for sharing.
As-Salaam O Alaykum
Dr. Yasir Qadhi
Please give a detailed lecture on Ghazanavid Dynasty and what is your view about this and what Muslim scholars think about Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi and why he conquer the Indian Subcontinent(Hindustan). There is a great controversy in Pakistan about this. Please guide us on this issue.
Recommend some academics regarding this.
Thank You
From Pakistan
Who cares about your critics?
Not me.
Me neither. I'm almost upset on YQs behalf. Although, I understand his caution. The extra long disclaimers w/the preemptive aim to disarm a nuclear bomb are just telling of the type of pressure he is under. And, I hate what it implies, a limit to his expression of the vast knowledge we all know is bubbling at the surface.
It has been a while, we missed you :)
As you learned us, let's take the early publishing of this lecture as a good omen for 2021 ;)
ps : take care Sheikh, and may Allah cure you
I enjoyed this chat so much Al biruni was right at that time because the world expands every now and then.
What a beautiful talk
Indian Sanskrit scholars here in Kashmir gave him title of 'vidya sagar' meaning ocean of knowledge.11 th century is also called century of Al beruni.his name being abul rehyan Mohammad
Really after a while.... we where waiting for Professor Yasir 😎😎
Jazakallahu Khayran Ahsanul Jaza
It would be great to see a lecture an Mahmud ghaznavi
I really love to hear ur speach on difrent toic
Ibn Siena should be the next
I love these library chats. I don't care about the topic but kindly keep producing more.
Great video Ya shaykh. JazakAllah khair
Critics are heavy on you at this moment. It's human nature to slip by in one or two instances. It's okay to correct. I urge you not to become silent by listening to those fool critics. I am a great fan of you. I benefitted immensely by hearing you and learnt a great deal. Please continue what you are doing. My faith only got stronger through you and also there are others as well
I love these talks Yasir. Please do more like this. :)
Love the ending nasheed.
Need more info on the artist.
I 💕💕 any lecture you give. keep your critics aside continue with your research we're leaning new things
Thank you very much Sheih ,a lot of Islamic scholars were born and lived in Uzbekistan,of them Al Buhariy, At Termiziy, Al Horazmiy,Al Beruniy, Abu Ali In Sina,Mirzo Ulugbek (astronomer) and many more but unfortunately we gave up this tendency nowadays . Assalamu alaykum from Uzbekistan.
We in Kashmir look at Uzbekistan WD respect and love, bcoz of Islamic heritage ,our king zainulabideen in 15 th century spend 7 yrs learning at Uzbekistan
More over bcoz of promises of Al Mahdi Ra from mawaraul nahr we love you
@@aadilqayoom6872 We love you too brother,I ask Alloh to bless Kashmir and all muslim world with peace and tranquility,Ameen.
What brilliant mind sheikh Yasir
Awesome!
Alhamdulillah blessed
Ah... he supports the separation of state and church in Muslim world ! And I agree...
Listening 2021 Jan 7, will be finished within hour.
