#Islam #YasirQadhi #Justice 9/22/26 | Tides of Modernity:: The History of Palestine Part: 1 | Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi In this lecture, Shaykh Yasir

Qadhi delivers a detailed and eye opening crash course on the history of Palestine from Ottoman times all the way to the creation of Israel in 1948. He breaks down the three contradictory promises that shaped the fate of Palestine, the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence, and the Balfour Declaration, and explains how these colonial deals made by foreign powers without consulting a single Palestinian set the stage for one of the greatest injustices of the modern world. A must watch for every Muslim who wants to understand the roots of the Palestinian cause and be able to speak about it with confidence and clarity.

Where is Palestine?
Palestine is a geographic region in Western Asia. It is usually considered to include the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Israel, and in some definitions, some parts of western Jordan. The name was used by ancient Greek writers, and it was later used for the Roman province Syria Palaestina, the Byzantine Palaestina Prima, and the Islamic provincial district of Jund Filastin. The region comprises most of the territory claimed for the biblical regions known as the Land of Israel, the Holy Land or Promised Land. Historically, it has been known as the southern portion of wider regional designations such as Canaan, Syria, ash-Sham, and the Levant. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics.
