A speech by Yasir Qadhi given at the 10-day Peace: Vision of Islam Convention in Chennai (Madras), India on January 11th, 2008. After the half hour speech, there is entire half hour’s worth of Q&A, including a wonderful part where Shaykh Yasir helps Sartesh Babu accept Islam. Family or friends who don’t enter Paradise. Are there beautiful men for women in Paradise? Does Hoor in the Quran mean women? Agnostics who do not believe in Islam. Will Muslims who commit shirk enter Paradise? How do I prove Islam is the true salvation? People who do not believe in any religion….
