Re-thinking Education in Islam: Reviving the Legacy of Muslim Scholars ~ Dr. Yasir Qadhi

There was a time when Islamic Scholarship was a leading torch bearer of knowledge and a shining example to the world where the Scholars of this Ummah had mastered both the secular and religious sciences and the leaders of this world would look towards the Muslim Scholars for guidance in both religious and secular knowledge.

Today however there seems to be a huge disconnect between the Muslim Scholars and the world that we live in. Our Scholars have mastered the sciences of Aqeedah, Tafsir, Fiqh and Hadith but have very limited knowledge of the secular issues and daily challenges that the Ummah faces and so are unable to provide adequate answers and solutions to the burning questions of the youth and the insecurities of the masses.

In this very frank and inspiring talk Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi revives the legacy of the Muslims Scholars and highlights the importance of studying both religious and secular knowledge in order to bring about effective change in our communities.
