Qadhi was a guest on an episode of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates's television genealogy series Finding Your Roots on PBS.

Yasir Qadhi has criticized progressive Muslims who interpret Islamic law as supporting homosexual relations, saying these teachings contain "very little Islam". [22] Yasir Qadhi is an American Muslim scholar and writer of Pakistani descent, and Dean of Academic Affairs at the Al-Maghrib Institute, an Islamic educational institution. He has written books and has lectured on Islam and contemporary Muslim issues. A 2011 New York Times Magazine essay described Qadhi as "one of the most influential conservative clerics in American Islam"

The purpose of Allah sending prophets is so that we have a living example to follow. Allah tells us in the Quran that if He had wanted, He could have sent angels [see Quran, 17:95]. But what would the nonbelievers have done if Allah sent angels? They would have rejected them [see Quran, 6:8-9]. Indeed, of the perfection of Allah's wisdom is that He sent down human beings —people like us, flesh and blood— so that we don't say, "But we can't be like them." They are born of women, they marry and have children just like us. The only difference is they are chosen by Allah and are made role models.

The Extinct Arabs (al-Arab al-Ba'ida/العرب البائدة‎) — the earliest civilizations that lived in Arabia, pre-Islam by thousands of years. The Quran mentions some of their stories, e.g., Ad (عاد) [e.g., Quran, 89:6-14] and Thamud (ثمود) [e.g., Quran, 11:61-68]. They have nothing to do with the later Arabs. They are called Arabs simply because they lived in the lands that later became Arabia. And as far as we know, Thamud is the earliest humanity that flourished in the Arabian Peninsula around 3000 BCE — so around 5000 years ago. We have documented evidence of the Thamud flourishing 5000 years ago. And to this day, we have the remains of the palaces of the people of Saleh (صالح), which came after Thamud, in an area called al-Ula (العلا) in Saudi Arabia. Ibn Khaldun (ابن خلدون) mentions, "These people fled from the ancient city of Babel (بابل) and they made their way to Arabia." Then what happened to them? Each one of them has its own story: Some Allah destroyed, some civil war, some flood, migration, etc.— and eventually they all became extinct.

The Sirah of the Prophet (pbuh) by Yasir Qadhi, Salah Sharief

Then another student (or to be more precise, student of a student) called Ibn Hisham (ابن هشام) (d. 218 AH) came along. His name was Abd al-Malik ibn Hisham (عبد الملك بن هشام), and he authored al-Seerat al-Nabawiyyah (السيرة النبوية - the Life of the Prophet) a.k.a. Seerat Ibn Hisham (سيرة ابن هشام - Seerah by Ibn Hisham). The average Muslim should be aware of these two sourcebooks of the seerah: Seerat Ibn Ishaq (primary) & Seerat Ibn Hisham (secondary). The difference between these two books is: Ibn Hisham realized Ibn Ishaq's volumes were too big, so he decided to summarize Seerat Ibn Ishaq. He did not add anything but rather subtracted. He deleted and made it into a book that is much more manageable, and now it is available in 4 volumes. Again, in those days there was no printing press, so if you wanted a book, you had to write it cover to cover — this is one of the reasons why he reduced. Also, Ibn Ishaq was one of the first people to write a history of humanity — from Adam AS to Nuh to Ibrahim to Musa all the way to the Prophet PBUH; so Ibn Hisham deleted this entire section of earlier history and other information about the life of the Prophet PBUH he deemed unnecessary. Over time, people began copying Ibn Hisham; and today, if you want to buy a copy of the book, you have to buy Seerat Ibn Hisham (سيرة ابن هشام), you won't find Seerat Ibn Ishaq anymore. Shaykh Yasir Qadhi gives a detailed analysis of the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from the original sources.

In the April 2016 issue of Dabiq Magazine, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant declared Qadhi, along with Hamza Yusuf, Bilal Philips, Suhaib Webb and numerous other Western Islamic speakers, as murtads (or apostates). He was threatened to be killed for denouncing ISIS. [23] Controversies [ edit ] iii) It explains the ghayb (غيب - unseen) — any historian will record the outward, but the Quran records the outward and inward, e.g., Quran [47:29], [3:153]; and also the ghayb, e.g., Quran [3:124], [48:1] However, of the 'issues' of the Quran is that (i) it is not chronological, and (ii) it does not mention reference. For example, Allah does not mention the word "Uhud" in the Quran, so we need to know that a portion of Surah Ali-Imran (سورة آل عمران) was revealed for Uhud. So the seerah and the Quran go hand in hand: You need the seerah to understand the Quran, and you need the Quran to understand the seerah. To summarize: The study of the seerah is the study of (i) the best, and (ii) the best, and (iii) the best, and (iv) the best:
