This Muslim can teach Christians and Atheists in this country (New Zealand) a thing or two! I watched the whole thing. This Man is indeed wise and a man of peace. As a Christian and Libertarian, it is with great joy that I hear his message.

This man is of a different level. May Allah bless him and his family and friends in this world and the hereafter!

[@MsShakibkhan]

[@noaid2israel]

Thanks for sharing this excellent sermon. I'm not religious, but I thoroughly appreciate intelligent teaching. Piety in combination with propriety is a valuable lesson ... beneficial to people of all religions. Understanding the importance of this lesson is valuable to the non-religious as well.

Ma'sha'allah beautiful speech! So glad we have Br. Hamza as part of the American Muslim fold, but of course, I think we are all happy to have such a figure who is out-spoken and educating us on the current issues that we face.

[@ahmeds027]

Sh hamza yusuf could have just played to the gallery n spoken stuff bout fasting reward n taqwah n winded this up but i am glad he spoke bout west n wat muslims are doing wrong here for that is a pertinent subject for now, specially when 2 out of 5 headlines on CNN involves islam peace

[@Fatima74]

26:54 and onwards was the best =)

[@AsadtheTutor]

The video stops at 14:34 when I try to view it. Can someone fix this?

[@AmNotHere911]

@jefeisdguard 'We do NOT have the same God' - partly true, Jesus himself wouldn't recognise the christian god, the muslim and Jewish beliefs he would recognise.

[@oORukiAOo]

@jefeisdguard "Allah" simply is the Arabic word for God .. Arab Christians and Jews use the same word too ^__^

[@shamil6793]

@openupfresh Lol I love how you've completely looked past everything positive said in this video and jumped straight into something you probably don't even fully understand.

[@dontforgetwat]

@spiritueel2011 brother go to your local masjid and main masjid in your city, ask the imam to find someone to teach you arabic and help you. that is what the imam is there for. dont be shy or embaraced. peace

[@Aldeenify]

Zaytuna sermons like this has always been Inspiring but generally it's more talk than action in the Muslim world. In most Muslim government worldwide they don't practice what they preach. Muslims victimise one another even for a living. In some instances so corrupted and unislamic in their governance. You are nourishing your muslim America but who is reorgansing the Muslim world? I wonder till date the Muslim world simply in a micro context don't practice Islam.

[@zeelob12]

Allah does not translate into god, because god can be used as godS goddesses, it can be made masculine, and feminine. Allah is neither of those, because Allah is not like his creation! Do not misunderstand this and say Allah means god. Allah is Allahs name. God is a created word, how can allah be which he created? Like hamza yusuf said in the video, Allah is the creator!
