Summary

Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi speaks truth to power and stands up for the rights of the oppressed by putting a brave face against oppression and injustice.  Muslim all over the globe are victim of oppression to the maximum extent what with the plethora of innocent women, children and men being killed in attacks which is the effect of tyrannical leaders and biased politics. The ignorant media is also party to the crime by tainting our faith and our Prophet ﷺ galore. In order to survive amicably and to protect one’s loved ones,Muslims never criticize people who misinterpret Islam and tarnish our Deen no end. This has to end if we are to present before our future Ummah, a religion that is laced with peace and mercy and it is a religion that needs to be spread all over the world to have some hope of recovery from the vices of people of power.
