A Window to Islam (DVD)

A Window to Islam is a continuation of the lecture 'The Purpose of Life part 3', held over two nights and resulting in many accepting Islam.

In this lecture, Shaykh Khalid Yasin explains Islam and entertains many questions from non-Muslim guests who had a completely different picture of Islam before that night.

Why the Question Segments Are the Valuable Part

A prepared lecture answers the questions the speaker chose. An open floor answers the ones the audience actually has — and those are frequently not the questions Muslims expect.

Listening to what non-Muslims genuinely ask, and how they ask it, is instructive for anyone doing da'wah. A good deal of Muslim outreach addresses objections nobody is raising while missing the ones that come up every time.

Who It Is For

Da'wah work, and Muslims who want to understand how their religion looks from outside before trying to explain it.

About Shaykh Khalid Yasin

Shaykh Khalid Yasin, a former Christian, is the Executive Director of the Islamic Teaching Institute (ITI), an organization dedicated to the work of da'wah. He studied Arabic in Madinah and in Cairo, and had many mentors and teachers who tutored him in Fiqh us-Sunnah, Fiqh us-Seerah and Islamic history, as well as in the memorization and recitation of the Quran.

He is what is known as a da'ee — someone who speaks publicly about the Islamic faith in order to invigorate the spiritual and moral conscience of his listeners, and to educate and inform people about Islam. He has spent most of his working life doing exactly that, and he is among the most widely heard English-speaking speakers in the field.
