#YasirQadhi #Series #Truth LightHouse Episdoe #17 - 9/23/25 – Theodicy: Ibn Taymiyyah’s Framework and the Wisdom of Trials In this fourth Anchor Series session, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi presents Ibn Taymiyyah’s theological framework on theodicy. Drawing from the Qur’an, Hadith, and history, he outlines six key lenses for understanding suffering—assessment, divine reward, greater good, redemptive discipline, the necessity of opposites, and the Divine Names of Allah—showing that trials are purposeful and meant to build spiritual growth. Through examples from the Seerah and the companions—such as Hudaybiyyah, the story of Khidr and Musa (AS), and the slander of Aisha (RA)—Shaykh Yasir highlights how hardships carry hidden wisdom that becomes clear over time. Ibn Taymiyyah teaches that every believer is tested in a way suited to their soul, and that understanding the meaning of trials transforms them into sources of resilience, purification, and closeness to Allah. 00:00 Intro 00:20 The Paradigm of Ibn Taymiyyah 01:13 Point #1: Assessment Theodicy 03:47 Point #2: Divine Reward Theodicy 05:12 Why do we say "Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'oon"? 06:49 The Hadith of the woman with Epilepsy 08:49 The Hadith of the Blind Man 10:08 The Patient Person on the Day of Judgement 13:39 Point #3: The Greater Good Theodicy 15:39 Khidr AS and Musa AS 18:19 Umar RA's reaction to the Treaty of Hudaibiyah 19:26 The Slander of Aisha RA 22:37 Point #4 Redemptive Discipline Theology 26:55 Getting Divorced may have taught you lessons for your next marriage 28:53 Point #5 Necessity of Opposites Theodicy 32:55 Point #6 Divine Names Aspect of Theodicy 36:29 Allah custom-made a test specifically for you 40:21 Every Human has Tests 42:00 Iman may not solve your problems, but lets you navigate through them Please LIKE, COMMENT, & SHARE! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ► Credits: *Note: No musical instruments were used in this video, all background noise is human acapella.* Intro & Outro Nasheed Artist: Ibraheem Bakeer Produced by: MAQAMAT INSTITUTION Copyright reserved and reproduced exclusively with permission for Yasir Qadhi's Official YouTube Channel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ► Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi - Official Social Media Pages Facebook: facebook.com/yasirqadhi Instagram: instagram.com/yasir.qadhi Twitter: twitter.com/yasirqadhi Snapchat: snapchat.com/add/yasir.qadhi --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi - Official YouTube Channel
