So, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Alhamdulillah,

wa s-salatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulillah. Today, I have with me a very special guest, which is

Sheikh Dr. Yas Al-Kadi.

He's a graduate from the University of Medina, well probably most of people know who you are, but I'm just gonna mention a couple of things.

So, he has a big, a BA in the Arabic language from the University of Medina and a Master's degree in Islamic theology.

And he also has a PhD in theology from the University of Yale, you know, which gives him like a very broad approach when he comes to Islamic sciences.

And I think that's one of the interesting things that really,

you know, made me think that it would be very interesting to interview you, because

there are some methodological differences, usually when you study Islam in the East and when you study Islam in the West.

And I think that sometimes synthesizing the way that Islam is being taught is very important for the Western Muslim.

Anyhow, he's also the author of quite a number of books. One of them is the introduction, the introduction to Islamic sciences, which I have here.

I actually bought it like 10 years ago, I believe. So, this has been, this has been quite a while out there.

And one of the things that I really appreciate about Sheikh Yasir Qadi is that he's a very brave person.

Like, I think since a decade ago, I've seen you talking about like the impact of the US foreign policy in the creation of a fortunate things like ISIS.

And I've also seen you like denouncing or speaking very clearly about the cultish mentality and behavior of some Muslims.

And, you know, when I hear you talking about those topics, I know that you know that these can get you into trouble, but you still talk about those.

And I think that's very inspiring.

So, this is it, as has an introduction.

So, I will be asking you a couple of questions and your opinion on several topics.

And I believe that this Spanish audience will be benefited from it. And this is it, won't be complicated.

The first thing I wanted to ask you about is, you know, advice for neo-practicing Muslims, which can be converts or people who just started practicing the religion.
