Description:

Dr Yasir Qadhi joins us to unpack Salafism, sectarianism, and how Muslims in the West can move from labels to leadership.

We talk about what healthy disagreement looks like, why unity does not mean uniformity, and how communities can build real capacity, from mosques and schools to media, philanthropy, and liberal arts education.

We get specific about funding ethics, local service to the poor, and civilizational projects that shape hearts and minds. The goal is practical, principled institution building that serves faith and society together.

What you will hear:

• Salafism in context, strengths, blind spots, and the illusion of correctness

• Agreeing to disagree, red lines, and ending the habit of turning rivals into enemies

• From masjid to media, why we need journalists, artists, scholars, and leaders

• Philanthropy with purpose, feeding the hungry locally, museums and public education, funding without strings

• Liberal arts and classical sciences, why breadth of knowledge matters for the next generation

• Living in the West with confidence, learning from Abyssinia
