Ahamdallah, we are very honored to have as our guest today two of the foremost scholars in the West.

And I'll say it to begin with actually, who aren't without controversy, right?

And we want to go through why they perhaps have this title of controversy

and is it actually applicable to them.

And they've been on a journey themselves, al-h-h-h-a-law.

Some people may agree with a journey, others may not.

But we're going to move past that.

This podcast, inshallah, is going to look at the history of themselves and the movements that they perhaps once represented,

perhaps may no longer represent, and actually the future for us as an umma.

So without further ado, we are very honored to have with us.

I'll start with our guest first, Sheikh Yasser Qadhi. Sama'am-a-a-a-a-a-a-o-a-haw-a-a-hā. And of course, our very own sheikh, sheikh, Shachaykum al-hahdha. Sala-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-homtala or something? Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. We're all Tullab Al-Illum and... No, maybe you are a Talib Al-Illib-Ir, but I'm a senior, chef. Okay, Zahka-Lah-Qa-Kha-Kuhn.

I agree with this.

I agree with this, that I am a Tuoliduil B'ilm. Maybe the opposite. I'm a twiolial by al-eim and the sheikh is senior to me in age and wisdom and the number of white hairs.

All of this he has more than me.

And no knowledge.

I said age and wisdom and the number of white hairs. All of this he has more than me.

And no knowledge. I said age and wisdom. Wisdom incorporates knowledge. We let us start as friends.

Come on. How can there be friendship when I am your student? There is hayba. There is respect. Still, it's still. Hamda. So, Sheikhana al-Fadil, I want to say for the record, we go back, unbelievably, almost 30 years, actually. Closer to 30 years than to 25. Almost 30 years, we go back. Exactly. When I was still undergraduate in Medina and the sheikh would come

sheikh if this is your wife then you need to answer and this so we're teaching the

toulat priorities if it's anybody else you can stop yeah no no definitely you are a big

sheikh just want to confirm you are the sheikh so hamzalilah we have known each other for so long, and mashallah, he's always been an elder brother to me, a senior and a mentor, and always somebody that I've reached out to when I have questions and issues.
