Why does Yasir Qadhi get so much hate ?

I find it ironic that people in refutation to Yasir Qadhi are predominantly referencing pseudo/neo madkhali youtubers, who have barely outgrown adolescence, i.e. the likes of Saajid Lipham, Farid Responds, Daniel Haqiqatjou etc. etc. Not to say all there content is bad, but these people would be first in line in condemnation of the Ulemah of Deoband.

I have yet to see a clear cut reference where he has said anything against the Quran and Sunnah. Sure some of his views are contentious and I can see why people have problems with him supporting certain political activist. I also don't really understand his probelm with the "standard narrative" in relation to the preservation of the Quran. However as broyher Rajab said, there is much one can benefit from him. Unlike most Deobandi graduates, he doesn't sugar coat or copy and paste the status quo. He makes you aware of controversial subjects and historical issues and gives a broad range of opinions, which personally allows me to look into these subject matters deeper. In addition, no one comes near to his Seerah, Lives of the Sahaba and Mother of the believers lectures in English.

Those generalising about "celebrity" scholars, as if they know what lies in the hearts of men and women. I neither know his intentions or his motivations for his lectures, but he doesn't come across as an individual with an over inflated ego, but Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows best. Would these people accuse Moulana Tariq Jameel, or Mufti Tariq Masood of the same because of their celebrity status?

Salam.

In my less practicing days, I took Yasir Qadhi's class on (Athari) Aqeedah. I still have the notes. One page they gave us was all cherry-picked quotes with zero context (i.e. "...*something easily misunderstood*..." ) to demonstrate Imam Ghazali, Imam al-Junayd, etc. are all deviants, weird sufis and astray.

It is ironic he is facing this same type of criticism he leveled against Muslim giants.

Don't bash philosophy. There is much to benefit there for Muslims (if you avoid the atheism/agnosticism areas of philosophy).

I went to the West and saw Islam, but no Muslims; I got back to the East and saw Muslims, but not Islam.
