This man helped me to rediscover my religion. Thank you Hamza.

I am not Muslim but my heart feels drawn to it, and these videos from Hamza Yusuf are beautiful and make so much sense to me.

Ohh I love his humour. What’s not to love. His knowledge surpasses beyond normal human comprehension. Really. He quotes poets philosophers great writes from the top of his head. He quotes from the Holy Quran as is to the point relating to the lecture. He never fails to quench the thirst of Islamic knowledge. Tears flow when he spoke about the Prophet’s milk mother. I cried like a baby. Now he jokes about names referring to himself and his son name. With a tender smile and a worthy joke. He mesmerised me all the time. Will I ever meet this wonderful human being. Humble. Yet he carries mountains of knowledge and shares it unselfishly. May Allah Protect Shekh Hamza wherever he goes. Bless him endlessly for we are in need of his lessons. Algamdolilah Praise is all due to Allah and I am fortunate to enjoy his lectures 🙏

I love cheikh hamza... He's the best teacher I ever had... Eventhough through videos... He goes straight to the heart and makes our Deen so smooth and peaceful... Al hamdulillah

Great way of lowering your IQ is to read the comment section of KZfaq.

A mountain of knowledge from a very conscious mind. Shari`ah = Ah good over evil.

One of great early speeches by Shaykha!! ما شاء الله تعالى! جزاك الله خيرا كثيرا!

Salaam Sheikh, mind blowing as always. Pls come to Bangladesh, you will love it here. Pray for all time. Love you for deen , to be honest listen to many lectures by ulamas, ustads but your depth, eloquence and vast knowledge on varied issues amazes me. Jazakullah Khairun. I wish t could come to zaituna university and take a course.

31:54 Masha'Allaah TabarakAllaah! Mashaa'Allaah Alayhu! how many people would just speak just because they feel like they have an idea about the answer to a question, subHaanAllaah shaykh stayed silent and said i'd get it checked by the mufti whose coming tomorrow, Masha'Allaah! That's how it should be AlHamdulillaah, beautiful to see the way of Imam Maalik being practiced by a Maaliki Alim :)

Dismissing a religion because it was first propagated to people in the desert is not rational. You're assuming something is untrue due to its age and geographical origin, not due to any evidence against it.

6:40 I think that the story about Abraham sacrificing Samuel(İshmael) is about our most dear things and connections. We need to sacrifice them or to be precise ready abandon anything for the sake of truth, without considering how much we love them. These can be our belongings our habits, beloved relatives or friends, or our own ideas.

Insightful talk...thanks Shaykh Hamza!

What an excellent class. Allahu Akbar, Elhamdulilah Ar-Rasheed As-Salam.

Mashallah that was so nice to witness that person’s conversion at the end ❤️May God bless him and keep him on the right path, ameen

MashaAllah. JazakAllah Khairan! Find your sessions extremely griping. This is real education in my opinion. There were so many points in here that I always believed and relate to strongly but could never explain or justify why, just knew. I can finally feel I am not crazy and not alone for thinking like this.. :) Love the depth and clarification plus the dissecting of words and their origins. May such useful knowledge reach all our ummah and may Allah Give you Jannat ul Firdause. Ameen.

This was a joy to watch, I always watch Islamic lectures but this was better than usual, I think maybe the light atmosphere made it enjoyable :)

Is it possible to find a recording of Shaykh Abdullah's lecture the following day? The questions he said he would leave until tomorrow were interesting, and I'd like to hear Shaykh Abdullah's opinion on them.

that ritual with the hug at the end was really nice and really cute

@BGfromGB The Qur'an is not the only source for deriving Islamic rulings. The issue of music is dealt with in the hadith literature, for the most part.

Excellent lecture really .....

أعزك الله كما تخدم الاسلام

"80% of the world doesn't have telephones." That's from a very different age.

You are a blessing Sheikh! Long Live! Alhamdulillah!

تبارك الله ❤ بارك الله في عمرك ي شيخي حمزة

@BGfromGB Prophet Muhammad allowed certain forms of music. The scholars differ as to what form. Apostasy was treason in the CONTEXT of the war being waged against Muslims 1400 years ago, but does not apply in peaceful times. Muslim women cover similar to nuns, Virgin Mary or Mother Teresa as do many traditional modest women. Where does it say women are not allowed to worship next to husband/family? Muslims actually accept all 10 commandments in some form. Tolerance is taught in the Quran 3:64.

very very useful & nice.......

Masha Alláh. Soooo great 👍 love it 😍

I love him for the sake of Allah

Ma shaa Allah full of wisdom :)

What a beautiful way to end the video

Love this sheik Hamza yosef so cool

I really respect this Shiehk

jaazaka ALLAH khayraa

1:44:00 it is about setting priorities in correct manner

Jazaka Allah khayran :)

SUBHANALLAH WALHAMDULILLAH LAA ILAAHA ILLA ALLAHU AKBAR

@BGfromGB Excellent! Now that we've agreed to have a respectful and logical debate, I ask you a logical question... Anders Behring Breivik, the recent Norway terrorist, calls himself a "Christian". Does this mean his ACTIONS are consistent with the TEACHINGS of Christianity?

Alhamdulilah!

i hope he comes to S'pore for a talk

@BGfromGB Thank "G-d" most people are sensible enough to realize that Iran and Saudia Arabia are not Islamic run.

@BGfromGB When I said "provide chapter & verse number" it was in response to you saying "treason in times of war? Really? The Quran does not say so." It was in reference to the issue of treason/apostasy, not music. Man or God? By His wisdom, God has not spelled out every ruling for all times. So humans (preferably scholars) must use their intelligence to interpret what God means by this or that. Again, this is the act of "jurisprudence". But ultimate judgement of right/wrong remains with God.

Jummah'skhutba subhanAllah

@BGfromGB To each his own.

go go hamza yusaf go !

I like how he brought up that making a lot of money is not a requirement in religion, and that theres no real justification to choose money making over righteousness or over protecting your faith. I mean it’s just the complete opposite of the spirit of Islam. One of the most recurring motifs in the Koran is the warning of man’s love of wealth and his delusion in attachment to worldly possessions. As well as the sunnah of the prophet sawas and his family and righteous companions, all whom lived purposely ascetic and humble lifestyles even when they had the opportunity to live in extravagance. Muhammad sawas after conquering Arabia was questioned on why he chose to continue living in a small house, wearing simple clothes, and eating mostly simple rice and dates when he could live in splendor as the kings of Persia and Greece did. Firstly Muhammad sawas would literally give away all the wealth he accumulated at the end of each day to charity and to relatives and neighbors and so he had no money left for himself, secondly he declined because he said that temporary wealth in a temporary life is meaningless, a tool of delusion. Plus multiple Hadiths that talk about the condemnation of the rich and the love of the poor, etc. It’s just disappointing how many Muslims of the modern day are perfectly fine with giving up so much of their Islamic practices and devotion just because of a job opportunity, a college degree that they obsess over because they see it as a social status, or because they can migrate to a country for welfare.

@BGfromGB What it says about our religion is that it embraces a humane system of "jurisprudence" by scholars that allows for interpretation & re-interpretation of traditional beliefs & practices, which also exists in Judaism, Christianity & virtually every other religion. When you talk about the Quran provide chapter & verse number, as I did above, otherwise your claims are baseless. Your 1st comment made no mention of worship in the mosque which changes the argument. I will reply after you.

I like Hamza he keep lot info his mind

1:05 1- matters are based on intention

I was born out of wedlock and this kinda depresses me. I wonder, if we don’t have claim to our fathers lineage, does that mean we don’t need to keep his surname? I was given my fathers name, but as I married I took my husbands name. I didn’t realize this is a sin in Islam, so I didn’t think anything of it. When I found out it’s haraam, I was upset but didn’t think it practical to change it back now. Maybe I don’t need to worry after all since I can’t claim him as my father due to Islam’s law on lineage? Anyone have any input on this matter?

Iam Noone it is necessary to learn about something in order to appreciate whether it is something that fits into your world view or not. If what you discover runs counter to your present view then one has to consider its veracity and the evidence for it before adopting what you have learnt either within your existing world view paradigm or a newly created paradigm. Of course in this rational process of learning and discovery one is liable to come across ideas or teachings that cannot be supported by evidence other than the testimony of those already convinced. In such cases these ideas and teachings have to be treated with caution and skepticism. Religious faith of any tenor will fall into this category and must be treated as being a social construction to explain what cannot yet be understood by science. I appreciate that you will not agree with this point of view, but as I am gracious enough to accept that you believe in the truth of your ideas, and I agree that you should have a right to hold to that truth as you see it. You must at least extend the same curtesy to me out of our mutual humanity if nothing else. If however your belief extends to the point that you cannot allow me to see the world as I see it in my own terms then we will have reached a point of crisis and potential conflict, that I for one would want to avoid.

@BGfromGB Simply not true. The scholars have made a determination when each verse was revealed. Read Yusuf Ali's preface to each chapter & you see a "Makkan" or "Medinian" designation. Yes, the verses were not placed in chronological order like the Old Testament but this doesn't mean they lack chronology. Scholars can easily tell you which verse was revealed 1st, 2nd & so on, but for Muslims the order is not important... the message is. As far as context, the hadith literature provides all that.

I have seen this several times and shared it with some people, thank you so much Hamza Yusuf. at 55_12 about the 4 witnesses, there is a word I do not understand, sounds like "its a proper gag"?

The last thing happened in this video was the best ( taking shahada)

@BGfromGB So you're saying that there cannot be more than one interpretation of the 4th commandment?? Wow! Debate over. Peace be with you.

when was this recorded?

Bismi Allah is that the reason so many babies and sickness four didn't watch so now we have young and old using what you have been saying may the women and babies and young who have this

Test . Does this site welcome dialictical discussion on Islam and the teachings of the Koran? If not I'll post my remarks on other sites.

@IslamOnDemand says ...."scholars) must use their intelligence to interpret what God means. On what grounds should scholars "jurisprudently" (I love that word - it makes me feel like a linguistic professor!!!) interprete thge 4th commandment other than what it literally means? Yes you're 100% right God will judge on his terms and not what scholars "jurisprudently"(mis)interprete his direct commandment.

I have a question about the lineage. I hope I didn't miss something but in the talk we get a lot of information about how lineage is preserved in sharia but I ask myself why is it so important to preserve the lineage? I know from a feeling that it is important to know where you're from but why is it so important?

Assalam alaykum brother islam

such an intelligent person yet the audience are asking him the silliest of questions

1:00 3- difficulty neccessatate facilitation should be no undur deress

Respond to this video says when I talk about the Q I must mention the verses.Well I was talking about all forms of music as being haraam. If this is mentioned in the Quran, then I would have cited chapter and verse.But there is no such verse- it does not exist. So who dictates whether music is sinnful. Man? or God?

No, Brejvik was not deranged, he even said that he wasn't crazy and he was just Christian. Sh. Abdullah Hakim Quick has talked about this when I was having lunch with him.

1:06 2- cirtainty is not lost due to doubt

When exactly was this lecture, just out of curiosity?

@BGfromGB The Muslims in Madina had a written contract with the tribe of israel in Madina. They broke the contract by helping the external (not living in Madina) enemies of the Muslims. For this they were punished. Under any law this is justified if you break a contract knowingly and you try to destroy the other party in the contract when you have agreed to work together with them.

حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ أَسْلَمَ جَاءَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ الأَخِرَ زَنَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ هَلْ ذَكَرْتَ هَذَا لأَحَدٍ غَيْرِي فَقَالَ لاَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَتُبْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَاسْتَتِرْ بِسِتْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ ‏.‏ فَلَمْ تُقْرِرْهُ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى أَتَى عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَلَمْ تُقْرِرْهُ نَفْسُهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ الأَخِرَ زَنَا فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى إِذَا أَكْثَرَ عَلَيْهِ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَيَشْتَكِي أَمْ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَصَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ أَبِكْرٌ أَمْ ثَيِّبٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا بَلْ ثَيِّبٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرُجِمَ ‏.‏ Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Said ibn al-Musayyab that a man from the Aslam tribe came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said to him, "I have committed adultery." Abu Bakr said to him, "Have you mentioned this to anyone else?" He said, "No." Abu Bakr said to him, "Then cover it up with the veil of Allah. Allah accepts tawba from his slaves." His self was still unsettled, so he went to Umar ibn al- Khattab. He told him the same as he had said to Abu Bakr, and Umar told him the same as Abu Bakr had said to him. His self was still not settled so he went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said to him, "I have committed adultery," insistently. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned away from him three times. Each time the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned away from him until it became too much. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, questioned his family, "Does he have an illness which affects his mind, or is he mad?" They said, "Messenger of Allah, by Allah, he is well." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Unmarried or married?" They said, "Married, Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave the order and he was stoned. Reference: Muwatta Imam Malik USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 41, Hadith 2 Arabic reference : Book 41, Hadith 1504

@BGfromGB Likewise with Islam... we have many "Muslims" but very few PRACTICE their religion, especially the so-called "leaders" and "presidents" of entire nations! So why are you not willing to apply the same logic to radical/deviant/deranged "Muslims" that you do with radical/deviant/deranged "Christians"??

Please do dua for me, my brothers and sisters. I need all the help I can get.

@2:44 Many Muslims around the world have fallen into ritual that is not from Allah, and Allah gave them no authority to do that... Some customs are totally against the teachings of Islam, for instance, the female giving the dowry in a wedding. You will find in some Muslim countries, where the female is forced to give a dowry because of previous religious traditions that were strong in those cultures and yet that is against Islam. So that is part of tradition becoming a part of Jahalliyya or ignorance within the culture.

Someone tell me the full name of sheikh abdalla he mentioned

17:14 presevraation of life

Turkish subtitles please

43:05 preservation of wealth & property

@BGfromGB You keep going back to apostasy, but I'm talking about treason. Islam is NOT a religion, it's a complete way of life & state of being. Islam means "submission". Anyone who is TRULY in a state of submission to God is in a state of Islam. There is one God regardless of what we call Him. He revealed the same message to all prophets over time. But humans changed the message leading to the many religions today. If Yeshua was a TRUE prophet, he represented "submission to God" (islam).

18:03 preservation of lineage

I know this is an older lecture. But we must differentiate something. The muslim majority (the Uygur Turks) are not chinese. They are Turkic.

Did you even watch the video? He couldnt get his hand cut off if he's poor and or in a bad condition and Forgiveness is always better

1:40:00 4th norms are binding

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@IslamOnDemand says "To each his own" Agreed 100% So long as one submits to the Almighty .Even the Quran affirms this [5.69] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the converts, and the Christians; any of them who (1) believe in GOD and (2) believe in the Last Day, and (3) lead a righteous life, have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.”

@romm95 Who were the external enemies? What "law" are you taslking about? Mohammed's law?

There was a Way of life Call Christian what Phophet in what time

Writting doesnt matter but the Prophet saws ate with his right so do Muslim. What did you think when we said we copy him saws at everything? We literately copy everything.

What the relationship , Hassain and Hussain of Rasouallah?

@BGfromGB Stay on point and stick to the topic. Stop replying with digressions and insults and maybe our debate will be somewhat productive. You made an argument about Iran and Saudi Arabia being "Islamic run" and I refuted it by denying your very point. But you don't address this... why? You have done this throughout our little debate with various other points. Why can't we debate a single point to its conclusion? Isn't that what a debate is all about? C'mon, let's be respectful & logical here.

1:19:22

@MrGrandDragon I can see weaknesses in sexes outside religious behaviours but what weaknesses are there when both sexes worship the Almighty. Did the Almighty command muslims to segregate when worshipping him? Where in the Quran does the Almighty forbid us from having girlfriends? Falling in love with a person before consumation of marriage is natural and is NOT fornication. Nowhere does God decree, either in the Q or scriptures that we can fall in love only after marriage. Does not make sens

@IslamOnDemand says "it embraces a humane system of "jurisprudence"by scholars that allows for interpretation& reinterpretation. Nowhere anywhere in the Q does it mean that any form of music is haraam. So how does this mumbo jumbo meaningless "jurisprudence" fit in the scenario in this case?
