[@abdulagoro9466]

Watching Hamza listening to him can b very captivating I've leant a lot of Islamic virtues through his teaching May Allah increase him with abundance knowledge Amin

[@zakme5638]

Same here

[@TinaAli-v1s]

Jzk jzk kairn amazing 👏 alhamdulillah alhamdulillah ✨️

[@ansarifarminfo2653]

Masha Allah... great views sheikh Hamza Yusuf..May Allah bless you-ameen!!

[@TinaAli-v1s]

Love from Canada 🇨🇦 bro sheikh hamza y opportunity to have seen you today, alhamdulillah alhamdulillah,may Allah bless 🙌 and reward you abundantly Ameen Ameen 🙌 🙏 so proud of you brother Ameen Ameen.

[@jollierancher123]

OMG, this guy is amazing. I met him yesterday and actually got to talk to him. It was very nice.

[@TheTruth-fully]

Hamza Yusuf is very educated and his knowledge takes you to a very deep level of thinking. I felt the presenter was trying to compete with Hamaz Yusuf throughout the interview and kept on cutting him off out of very important topics. I was very annoyed by that.

[@nokhchi1079]

Faizah Alkatheri I thought the same.

[@iqrayusuf28]

Sahi kaha behen.. He's acting like he opposing him..

[@nornizarbinmohamed4674]

We love you Shaykh Hamza Yusof from Singapore

[@zakme5638]

Love you sheikh Hamza in the sake of Allah, you're a great mentor for me!

[@djamaluddin]

A very touching memoir of the evolution of this man's spirit. He continues to evolve and though we all have differences with each other and with this shaykh's views on some topics we tolerate and respect his journey and truly believe he is part of the muslim ummah just as the rest of us are. May Allah accept his and our efforts towards good.

[@cfr01]

Ameen

[@HamzaDudgeonthelinguist]

I reverted to Islam at 18, days before 19. I was concerned about spirituality at that time because of some near death experiences, or what I perceived to be near death experiences. They get you to think about death, and the hereafter. I can totally relate to that notion. I do agree with the notion that our past lives are part of this life. As we gain knowledge we grow and change in significant ways.

[@nads1629]

Reading the comments here is literally making me fed up with humanity. Instead of appreciating the great words that came out of this man's mouth.. (you truly can sense that his words come from his soul), you are arguing about how he did not say why he converted to islam, and arguing about petty stupid things. APPRECIATE. LISTEN. YOU WILL ACTUALLY LEARN SOMETHING OUT OF THIS. STOP TRYING TO PROVE YOURSELF ALL THE TIME AS IF YOU HAVE GOT TO BE RIGHT ABOUT RELIGION, AND EVERYTHING ELSE. JUST LISTEN.

[@23Fulani]

Thank you!! my thoughts exactly!! I just don't understand how people can listen to such great words and find time to argue. It's like they didn't hear anything. Like the heart is sick, ears are closed and eyes are veiled.....it's really shows what's wrong with humanity and the soul!

[@robertgift]

+23Fulani Intelligent, honest people realize that HISlam is just another man-invented religious myth.They reject the laughable memorized forced butt-ups paedophile's cult.

[@robertgift]

Mike WazWaz Poor loser Mohammed. No woman his age would marry him. *What kind of OLD man would marry a young girl?* What mentally-healthy young girl wants to marry an *OLD* man? She would want to marry a *young* man, *her age*.

[@AKHAT3]

You're a schill. You realize Mary, peace and blessings of God be upon her, was betrothed to Joseph at a very early age as well, do you agree? Times are a different, and your attempts to confound and misguide people will be given its appropriate due. Do you not realize your deeds will be taken into account one day? Then how can you continue this idiocy? I do hope you will wisen up and even if you do disagree sincerely, how about acting as an adult and taking part in dialogue vs disrespecting? Again, we are all accountable for our actions. I hope your actions improve, sincerely.

[@robertgift]

AKHAT3 If proFAKE Mohammed were a real prophet (There are no prophets. Prophets are an invention of man for his religious myths) would proFAKE Mohammed not have _stopped the abuse_ of old men "marrying" young girls? Instead, paedophile Mohammed _joins in_ the abuse.

[@mr2_pg]

Aah, the interview is not completed. Wonderful and insightful interview, thank you so much for uploading.

[@Ndiaye07]

This Guy has been the most consistent Speaker, I have ever listened to. He never betrayed his advocated cause. His position has remained intact through the test of time

[@dustonpath]

Very impressed by HY and his lectures on Islam. Keep it up. May Allah give you more Knowledge.

[@DePeaceHunter]

maybe it's just me but this brother reminds me of johnny depp

[@husainahmed9927]

I don't like the attitude of the host, he interferes a lot...

[@ludacriz1988]

yea

[@hajraarbei2486]

Whoever comes across your video loves...Alhamdulillah that a sign of blessed person..n Its a sign Allah loves you sheikh ..if u see a muumin loved by many jst know Allah loves this person

[@jsjamsuddin]

what's up with the interviewer? He keeps cutting off Hamza Yusuf ?? La hawla wa la quwwata illa billaah

[@23Fulani]

I agree. He is definitely trying to take it somewhere else. I like how Hamza Yusef is bringing it back and completing his points

[@y00ch]

This is a great video from Hamza's early days. It's nice to see his ideas in infancy. Most of his ideas are the same today. And entirely this video is extremely pertinent to everyone through out all time.

[@julio14335]

The video is more interesting than some of the foolish comments haters writes here.

[@iliassegha2174]

The point mentioned at 41:25 is SOOOO true, I insisted on holding on to my ego until a certain series of events knocked back some sense into me thankfully. It may have also partially impaired me socially, at least temporarily. Much better than living in that deceptive mindset.

[@dr.abutaherbhuyan1990]

Great study

[@capt.a.a.pirani5135]

amazing man.

[@capt.a.a.pirani5135]

God bless you. ...

[@eyesonly96]

Thank yoy brother Hamza Yusuf my father so you when you came to Kuwait he said you were smart and that you were informed so keep it up peace out

[@ismailkm1]

the interesting part is that he became a sunni (Sufi) muslim, which is the correct path in islam. Allah really wanted to guide him. Love and respect from India.

[@ismailkm1]

Liking the Sufi path, in itself, has golden rewards.

[@shimar8]

If western european will accept ISLAM in future is through sufism only bcse khuwairjis wahabis have only hate hate ideology not only against Non-Muslims but also Muslims

[@shimar8]

rallus first tell me what is sufism and what u know abt it?

[@shimar8]

rallus i listen everyone speech Bilal Philips abdur raheem green,,zakir naik ,ahmed deedat..joshua evans...yusuf estes etc etc.....I have all answers to them.. But i would like to know what u know about sufism?

[@shimar8]

rallus :) is this ur only reply about Sufism???

[@ChildOFmars1996]

His voice was always the same :) just love this guy.

[@BoySkateMalaysia]

If Jesus is god who's the God before he came? 2ndly, if people worship human who is born without father. Then why dont you called adam and eve gods? They existed without parents? Why would a guy who is a gods level being baptist by a human? Correct me if in wrong where john baptist Jesus so that's makes john better than jesus?

[@glenyswiseman5582]

Boy SkateMalaysia.com really lol…so you are telling us humans exist without having parents lol…and how old are you kid? WHEN exactly did this purported adam live then?

[@ltchyface]

Glenys Wiseman He's stating that people say Jesus was miraculous because of his birth and that miracle leads to the divination of Jesus, thus making him god to some people. Boy uses the example of Adam and Eve, seeing as how they were born from no mother or father. So how can someone claim that Jesus' miraculous birth intern makes him god, and neglect the fact that Adam and Eve were born of a more miraculous birth.

[@glenyswiseman5582]

ltchyface lol as we both know, every human being has mother and father so WHEN did this purported adam live kid, and was he really 90ft tall …so WHAT miraculous birth are you dribbling about lol

[@ltchyface]

Glenys Wiseman Yes, "as we both know it", there's no reason discussing miracles with someone who denies the Qur'an, seeing as how you have to break down the Qur'an and prove it to be wrong for this miracle to be proven wrong. And I'm merely summarizing what Boy was stating lol.

[@glenyswiseman5582]

ltchyface I asked you WHEN the purported adam actually lived, given your claim LOL WHAT miracles lol????????

[@bashariful]

the presence of Shirk Hamza in our Muslim world is the beginning of wisdoms.

[@MrStyle-sr1yv]

shirk hamza ? or sheik hamza XD

[@engineering4logic]

maa shaa Allah. having watched the whole video all i can say is subhan Allah. What a fantaaastic discussion and ending !

[@ranianekaa8837]

allah is one he is the only one who created every thing . jesus is not god ,,, stop creating lies and then believe in them,the bible is totally fake cause it was writing by jiwesh hands it is not the word of god,but quran is the one,is the word of god indeed ,P.S to all christian; Such is 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (it is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute). 35. It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah]. Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" and it is. 36. ['Iesa (Jesus) said]: "And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)." [Tafsir At-Tabari] 37. Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about 'Iesa (Jesus)], so woe unto the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allah] from the meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire). 38. How clearly will they (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us! But the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) today are in plain error.

[@haiter347]

SubhannAllah loved the ending!!

[@dr.abutaherbhuyan1990]

Most important moment in the lecture is 17.37-18.20min. Just listen, you know what is islam and how it knock the intellectual faculty. He is his best during the time, great man with great personality.

[@Panther007ismmmm]

Masha Allah brother Hamza Yusuf is very influential Islamic scholar, may Allah bless him in shaa Allah.

[@MAHERFALCON]

[@Eliocharis]

Hamza Yusuf's understanding and explanation of Islam, humanity, the physical and meta physical is awe inspiring.

[@Ismaeel13]

[@naddogg89]

[@iorbit]

What a lovely and intelligent human being. I've wished for a long time for people to be more introspective. Hamza Yusuf is an inspiration. /An agnostic

[@JonathanDeLeon-em4px]

Thank you, priceless. God bless you. We must pray for stofdark that God opens his eyes to behold the truth and beauty of the Saviour.

[@irimfiaz951]

Ramadan Mubarak

[@imanwholesale8925]

He studied Arabic and master it in Mauritania (west Africa is not a country ) then he opened the door to many Muslims and reverts from the west to study pure Islam and Arabic in deserts, under tents with some shuyukh with piety (as we think of them and Allah knows best) , even though I disagree with some of his Sufi ideas , but may Allah help him teach Muslim and non Muslim about Islam and it s divine massage for humanity

[@imanwholesale8925]

One more thing I really want see him on cnn , Fox , CNBC , npr instead of these “ experts in Islam “ we see on tv ,same thing for joe Bradford who I admired ( millennial hamza Yusuf )

[@chitownsfinest1116]

he is the biggest scholar in america.. may allah be pleased with you sheikh hamza

[@Ismaeel13]

Amazing sophisticated talk!

[@rcstar07]

I watched a lot video of Hamza Yusuf. He is very wise, and good man.

[@xShariNgaN01x]

Saalam to all Muslims brothers and siters. Very insightful explanation of ideas, especially the ones from the Quran. Very sad, alot of Muslims do not understand these ideas from the Quran!

[@y00ch]

Wow. Once again. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf proves his brilliance. I found this video extremely stimulating and thirsty for more knowledge. So many points. He reduced the interviewer to a mere listener.

[@rachidldn]

Hamza Yusuf is for me the most influent person in teh 21st century. this man is amazing sbhnlh. he know exactly how to be a muslim in this time. May Allah bless him for his works.

[@letsgodudes]

[@leilahassan8108]

MashaAllah Sheikh Hamza is a genius

[@PassingWayfarer]

[@jakirhossinkhan]

As Salamu Alikum brother Hamza Yusuf.

[@Saskinim00]

WOW masallah subhanallah.. I never knew that he was a convert ! I am ashamed of myself as born Muslim for not having the courage to learn half of what he knows :(

[@Rashik30]

I went to the Raising the Islamic Spirit (RIS) convention yesterday. And it was amazing, all my favorite scholars were there, even Hamza Yusuf. I even saw people converting into Islam right before my eyes.

[@asalad083]

mashalah he is smart man and he did the right choose islam the religion of peace mashalaah brother

[@ali12147]

@miladmeah "56. Do no mischief on the earth, after it hath been set in order, but call on Him with fear and longing (in your hearts): for the Mercy of Allah is (always) near to those who do good." (Quran: 7:56)

[@nabeelaejaz]

@saltofearth60 We Muslims believe that all human beings are born as Muslims, that is submitting their will to Almighty God, it is later that when they grow up they deviate into other paths or teachings. Hence Return to Islam, means to come back to the original state, that is Submitting yourself to Almighty God. Also secondly it is also a call to existing Non-Practicing Muslims to come back and Return to Islam into being a Practicing Muslims.

[@DictaduraNo123]

”Such are the men whom Allah has cursed for He has made them deaf and blinded their sight.” (Q47.23) This conduct is not befitting of God. Why instead of blessing them with guidance Allah would curse them? Why he would make them deaf and blind, instead of giving them sight and hearing and then punish them? Is this justice? What would you say of a king blinds his subjects and then punish them for going astray? Wouldn’t you say he is a psychopath? Would God act like a psychopath?

[@zeeab]

Hamza Yusuf has a very good understanding of Islam, he is a good speaker and lecturer. He is well informed and has a good understanding of history, politics, and religion. I thank Allah for Hamza!

[@akonipartz]

evo55 i really admired your patience with this people..how many times u have to repeat yourself jaz to make this people understand, but sad to say still blinded.. and 1 more thing i learned a lot from you by reading your post..ty

[@julio14335]

Allahu Akbarr!! I never knew Hamza Yusuf was a convert to Islam.

[@HK-USA]

Fed up with all those hating comments! As humans, we can share a lot together, no matter yr culture, religion, we still can found something in common, even in our differences. So stop your blindness and lets learn of each other. Im amazed by his shining face, he looks so peacefull.

[@kabeer333]

firs of all, thanks from video. then I want to add that he was the luckiest person in the world, because he is muslim right now. he searched Islam by his own knowledge and this means that everybody in the world has to accept Islam as a religion.

[@Kingpinsodapop]

Great speaker....

[@tariqshahuk]

Thanks for uploading the video. I learned a lot and felt as if I am a munafiq too. Need to learn more and improve my understanding of my deen. Thanks again.

[@amvespucio]

Hani Salim Wadi, 34, was murdered the shots in front of his house on 07 June in Kirkuk. He was a businessman known in the region. But what caused his death have not been disagreements in business. The reason was because it is a Christian who always did the love of Christ to their neighbours.

[@katya4263]

Hamza Yusuf.

[@JonathanDeLeon-em4px]

I never said Muhammed believed the text of the Gospel had been corrupted. Why then would he say to Christians in Quran (5:46,47) to judge by what God has revealed in the Gospel? Muhammed believed the teachings of the Christians had been corrupted by not following what had been revealed in the Gospel.

[@JonathanDeLeon-em4px]

Yes, i know about Cat Stevens. I used to listen to his music. He will return to Christianity, once he learns what he needs to learn as a Muslim.

[@usman60606060]

@ItsAmadWorld2 To answer both questions, if one makes repentance before death, then it doesn't matter what the sin is - shirk or otherwise - God may forgive you. He forgives whom He will and punishes whom He will.

[@Perseverance-d5z]

This is Islam, religion of sense.

[@JonathanDeLeon-em4px]

Paul was writing to Christians to not argue about the Torah among themselves. He emphasizes Christians have been saved by grace and not by keeping the Torah. It is therefore useless to argue about keeping the Torah or other minor points in it..

[@JonathanDeLeon-em4px]

Jesus words originally spoken in Aramaic have not been lost, as Muslims mistakenly believe.. The Gospel in Aramaic language can be found at the Peshitta website. The Peshitta is the Gospel in the Aramiac language.

[@muzaffarkhodjaev4692]

i forgot the title of the video at the end because it was so interesting

[@JonathanDeLeon-em4px]

Paul never said, "sell your garments and buy a sword." Jesus said that in the Gospel but He was speaking rhetorically and not as a literal command.

[@JPizzle1490]

Absolutely. I'm a Christian and I find the Qur'an to be absolutely profound!!! When Muslims migrated to Axium during the persecution in Makkah, they explained their religion to the Christian King who drew a line in the sand and said, "The difference between our religions is as thick as this line." He's right!! I wish people would realize that!!!

[@2paacalipse]

This is such a western perspective. In Orthodox Christianity (where he comes from as he says) Ethiopians (black) and Russians (white) and Japanese (yellow) participate in the same Liturgy WE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST

[@JonathanDeLeon-em4px]

"Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." There is much wisom in the Bible's book of Proverbs. You should read it. The book is atributed to Solomon.

[@iorbit]

When was this recorded? It looks awfully old. Nethertheless, Great show, he's a really intelligent fella.

[@TheKamyar123]

Check out the kinds of people who become Muslim, and the ones whom refuse Islam, you can separate the brave and pure hearted from the miss leaded ones.

[@amvespucio]

In the Bible we have a wonderful text that tells the story of the conversion of Paul. Paul was a perseguidor of Christians. Paul became a persecuted. It is very sad when you see a story unlike. Generally, some Christians become Muslim by economic interests or through ignorance. Heroic are those who remain faithful until death, and not deny Christ and not sell.

[@SaceedAbul]

It is related on the authority of 'Aisha that the Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said, "The best of you is one who is most nice to his wife and children and I am the nicest among you." These and hundreds more are qoutes after his death. NO ONE HAD ANYTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT HIM EVEN HER

[@JonathanDeLeon-em4px]

There are spritual truths common to all cultures. The Gospel teaches us that the Word of God shines in all human cultures(John 1).

[@DKB786]

@Hammersley1967 Yusuf Hamza ( the person in the video) is the Imam of the Zaytuna Institute in California. So, a white person and for that matter a person of any color can not only enter a mosque, but teach other muslims. My own husband is a white muslim and we have never had a problem being accepted by the larger muslim community.

[@GraceBride]

@billlr9306 Just to let you know Bill, my pastor was a Jew (He passed away in 2006 and is now with Jesus. God bless him.) I enjoyed so much watching his videos on the Holy Land, on the Old Testament and the first Christians. He helped me so much in understand the Old Testament and Jesus' Words. His name is Zola Levitt.
