Islam Even Has Guidelines for Prisoners...

Yasir QadhiApril 8, 2026

About this lecture

This lecture explores Islam's comprehensive guidelines for the treatment of prisoners of war, drawing from Quranic verses, Prophetic traditions, and stories from the Sira — including the battles of Badr, the story of Thumama ibn Uthal, and Ali ibn Abi Talib's final instructions regarding his assassin. The speaker then contrasts these teachings with the documented mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners and the passage of a controversial Israeli death penalty bill targeting Palestinians, calling on Muslims to respond with education, patience, and perseverance.
