Can Muslims Change the West Without Changing Islam? - Sh Yasir Qadhi & Sh Haitham al-Haddad

After the huge response to their first discussion, Shaykh Dr Yasir Qadhi and Shaykh Dr Haitham al-Haddad return for Round 2. This time, the conversation moves beyond voting and political participation into a much bigger question: what is the future of Muslims in the West? Should Muslims see themselves as British, American or European Muslims? What does belonging actually mean? How should we respond to the rise of the far right? Can Muslims push for laws, policies, schools and institutions that are more accommodating to Islam without asking for “special treatment”? And how much flexibility does Islamic law allow when dealing with new Western realities? The discussion also tackles post-sectarianism, online tribalism, minority fatwas, the role of scholars, reform, hijrah, fear, belonging, and how Muslims can maximise their legacy where Allah has placed them. As always, this is a discussion rooted in brotherhood, disagreement, scholarship and concern for the Ummah. Let us know in the comments: who won Round 2 — or did both win?
