The surreal rise of Shaykh Azhar Nasser, a Muslim scholar is all thanks to his iconic replies to questions people ask on Twitter. His choice of words is unique and the way he spins question is remarkable. Scrolling down his Twitter profile can literally relieve your boredom. He’s very entertaining and it’s safe to mention, he’s not a conventional scholar that you will come across every now and then.
People love him because he’s a beacon of positivity out there. A heap of controversy surrounds most religious scholar but Shaykh Azhar Nasser stands apart. He continues to win fame on Twitter all because of his savage replies and a great notion of wisdom that he continues to reflect on everything he says.
Don't ever tell a depressed person to treat their depression by solely reciting Quran. When someone breaks their leg, you don't tell them to just read Quran without seeing a doctor. Why do we do this to those who are depressed in our communities?

10. He’s too good, seriously!
Sheikh, would you like some chai before the lecture?
Chai? You failed to mention I was gonna be delivering 7 lectures in one day so I’d prefer an energy drink. Also, when was this khoja center built again?

9. Why doesn’t he give a shot to comedy? He’d be brilliant!
Sheikh, can you give a lecture on Marriage in Islam?
I love that you’re thinking outside the box.

8. He said the same thing when someone asked if “weed is Halal”…
Sheikh, did you hear about this new halal beer?
Habibi, the only beer that is halal is “Takbeer”. Get it ? Cuz it ends with “beer”. Hello? Brother you there?

7. SAVAGE!
Sheikh, I love Imam Ali. What can I start doing to emulate him?
For starters, you can stop arching your eyebrows and dressing like your in a boy band.

6. CRYINNNNNNNG
Sheikh, I can’t remember if I was in the 3rd, 4th, or 6th Rakat in my salat. I also don’t know if I did sujood properly and I can’t remember if I read Surat al-Fatiha. What should I do?
I think you should just take a nap.

5. Dear Lord, he is insane with words!
Sheikh, can you hand me that chair? I can’t pray standing because of my knee problem.
First of all, you were playing soccer outside.

4. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sheikh, are you enjoying “Game of Thrones” …if you know what I mean…?
I don’t know what you mean and please stop winking at me.

3. This is legit hilarious! Thank God, at least someone doesn’t come out as a Jinn Expert unlike the rest
Sheikh, how do I protect myself from Jinn?
A box cutter and some rope should do the job. If there is more than one jinn, I would surrender. I don't know habibi, I'm totally making this up.#NotAJinnExpert

She was my moderator at a conference. She had me at "Assalamu Alaykum everyone, please take your seats."

Sheikh, what was that one Hadith about how only God can judge us?
That’s not a Hadith. That’s Tupac
