This series has been highly recommend by many Muslims. You can watch it as a family, listen to it on your way to work, or play it while doing chores or while at the gym.
Disclaimer: as Dr. Yasir Qadhi (hafidhullah) stated in this talk, we sometimes put people above their place, and give them a status higher than they deserve. This includes Dr. Yasir Qadhi himself as he would agree. It is our belief as Ahlus Sunnah, that no scholar or da'ee is perfect. Therefore, we don't have to agree with every single thing Dr. Yasir Qadhi says or does (i.e. his political stances). But we can respect and appreciate his points when he brings us evidence regarding what the best human being did, the Prophet Muhammad (s), and how the Sahabah understood Islam. And all praise and perfection belongs to Allah subhana wa t'ala, 'You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help' (Al-Fatihah 1:5).

If you call upon them, they cannot hear your calls. And if they were to hear, they could not respond to you. On the Day of Judgment they will disown your worship ˹of them˺. And no one can inform you ˹O Prophet˺ like the All-Knowledgeable.
[Fatir 35:14]
Muḥammad is no more than a messenger; other messengers have gone before him. If he were to die or to be killed, would you regress into disbelief? Those who do so will not harm Allah whatsoever. And Allah will reward those who are grateful.
[Ale Imran 3:144]
Say (O Muhammad SAW): 'I possess no power of benefit or hurt to myself except as Allah wills. If I had the knowledge of the Ghaib (unseen), I should have secured for myself an abundance of wealth, and no evil should have touched me. I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings unto people who believe.'
[Al'Araf 7:188]
You ˹alone˺ we worship and You ˹alone˺ we ask for help.
[Al Fatihah 1:5]
Or ˹ask them,˺ “Who responds to the distressed when they cry to Him, relieving ˹their˺ affliction, and ˹Who˺ makes you successors in the earth? Is it another god besides Allah? Yet you are hardly mindful!”
[AlNaml 27:62]
In Sunan At-Tirmidhi 3247: An-Nu’man ibn Basheer reported: I heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say, “Supplication is worship.” Then the Prophet recited the verse, “Your Lord says: Call upon Me and I will respond to you. Verily, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell in humiliation.” [Ghafir 40:60]
'...so invoke not anyone along with Allah.' [AlJinn 72: 18]

Yasir Qadhi is an American Muslim scholar and writer of Pakistani descent. Since 2001, he has served as Dean of Academic Affairs at the Al-Maghrib Institute, an international Islamic educational institution with a center in Houston, Texas. He also teaches in the Religious Studies department at
Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, where he resides. Qadhi has written numerous books and lectured widely on Islam and contemporary Muslim issues. A 2011 The New York Times Magazine essay by Andea Elliott described Qadhi as "one of the most influential conservative clerics in American Islam."
Allah is the Arabic word for God in Abrahamic religions. In the English language, the word generally refers to God in Islam. The word is thought to be derived by contraction from al-ilah, which means 'the god', and is related to El and Elah, the Hebrew and Aramaic words for God. The word Allah has
been used by Arabic people of different religions since pre-Islamic times. More specifically, it has been used as a term for God by Muslims (both Arab and non-Arab) and Arab Christians.
Paganism is a term first used in the fourth century by early Christians. It was applied on populations of the Roman Empire who practiced polytheism, either because they were increasingly rural and provincial relative to the Christian population or because they were not milites Christi (soldiers of
Christ). Alternate terms in Christian texts for the same group were hellene, gentile, and heathen. Pagan and paganism were pejorative terms for the same polytheistic group, implying its inferiority. Paganism has broadly connoted the "religion of the peasantry", and for much of its history was a derogatory term. Both during and after the Middle Ages, pagan was a pejorative term that was applied to any non-Abrahamic or unfamiliar religion, and the term presumed a belief in false god(s).
The Nation of Islam, abbreviated as NOI, is an African American political and religious movement. Founded in Detroit, Michigan, United States, by Wallace D. Fard Muhammad on July 4, 1930. Its stated goals are to improve the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of African Americans in
Yusuf Islam (born Steven Demetre Georgiou 1948), commonly known by his stage name Cat Stevens. He later became known as Yusuf and eventually Yusuf/Cat Stevens, is a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His musical style consists of folk, pop, rock, and, in his later career, Islamic
music. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni Islamist organization founded in 1928 by Hassan al-Banna, primarily in Egypt. It's a transnational group with a significant presence in many Muslim countries, aiming to establish a state governed by Islamic law, known as Sharia. The Brotherhood's stated goals
include spreading Islamic morals, combating what it deems "ignorant societies," and promoting a "new man" rooted in Islamic values.
Hubal was a deity worshipped in pre-Islamic Arabia, particularly by the Quraysh tribe at the Kaaba in Mecca. He was believed to be the head moon-god of the Arab pantheon and was worshipped through rituals involving divination and arrow tossing. The idol of Hubal was one of many in the Kaaba and was
eventually destroyed by Muhammad upon his conquest of Mecca.
Pre-Islam refers to the period in history before the emergence and widespread adoption of Islam. It specifically denotes the time before the Prophet Muhammad's revelations and the establishment of Islamic faith, culture, and civilization.
Arabs are an ethnic group mainly inhabiting the Arab world in West Asia and North Africa. A significant Arab diaspora is present in various parts of the world.
Arabs from Morocco to Iraq share a common bond based on ethnicity, language, culture, history, identity, ancestry, nationalism
geography, unity, and politics which give the region a distinct identity and distinguish it from other parts of the Muslim world. They also have their own customs, literature, music, dance, media, food, clothing, society, sports, architecture, art and, mythology. Arabs have significantly influenced and contributed to human progress in many fields, including science, technology, philosophy, ethics, literature, politics, business, art, music, comedy, theatre, cinema, architecture, food, medicine, and religion. Before Islam, most Arabs followed polytheistic Semitic religion, while some tribes adopted Judaism or Christianity and a few individuals, known as the hanifs, followed a form of monotheism.
Early Islam or the history of Islam is believed, by most historians to have originated with Muhammad's mission in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century CE. Although Muslims regard this time as a return to the original faith passed down by the Abrahamic prophets, such as Adam, Noah
Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, and Jesus, with the submission (Islam) to the will of God. According to the traditional account, the Islamic prophet Muhammad began receiving what Muslims consider to be divine revelations in 610 CE, calling for submission to the one God, preparation for the imminent Last Judgement, and charity for the poor and needy.
