Do Muslims Need New Epistemological Paradigms? | Dr. Yasir Qadhi
In this wide-ranging and introspective conversation, Dr. Yasir Qadhi reflects on his personal and intellectual journey, from a career in chemical engineering to Islamic theology, from Salafism to a dialogical approach to Islamic thought.
The discussion explores how the events of 9/11 changed his understanding of Muslim identity, the insufficiency of inherited theological frameworks, and his engagement with Islamic tradition and modern realities. The conversation moves between theology, politics, identity, and metaphysics and the question of identity and faith in modern times.
We also delve into larger questions, such as can Islamic thought engage with Western philosophy and epistemology without losing its core? And how should Muslims think about secularism, politics, and reform?
Drawing from his training in both Islamic and Western academic traditions, Dr. Qadhi advocates for a balanced, grounded approach, rooted in tradition but open to critique and change.
