Learnt so much about Islam from this gentleman today. All my respect and gratitude to this great religion. Also realized many similarities between vedas and Quran about existence, consciousness, God without attribute and God with attribute ..

[@asadnawaz9985]

I love Hamza Yusuf .. I have learned so much through him ... A real gem of our Islamic community

[@markdoughty8780]

As a Roman Catholic, I enjoyed this discussion. My view is that if we all acknowledge and adhere to the guidance of the Holy Books then we can't go far wrong - except through our sinful human nature if we allow that to guide us. As a Roman Catholic, I have always held a certain respect for Islam and The Qur'an and think Roman Catholicism is the closest of all the various Christian denominations to Islam. Before he mentioned it I could already tell that Hamza Yusuf was an ex-Catholic by his attitude and demeanour.

[@arjun2146]

Yes. There are many similarities between Roman Catholic and Orthodox (Sunni) Islam. Even in the mind-body it's quite difficult at least for me to differentiate concursus dei and kasb. But in the ontology cmiiw mainstream Catholicism more close to perennial philosopher's works (e.g Avicenna and Averroes) via Thomas Aquinas than occasionalism (e.g Al-Ghazali) via Nicolas Malebranche.

[@MohamedMohamed-tr2rz]

There are many similarities! But the Muslims maintain its blasphemous to say God is 3. Basically polytheism. The Holy Spirit is the Ángel Gabriel Jesus Son of Mary was an honorable Prophet and Messenger peace be upon them all

[@YMe-hp7hi]

Yes. He was Catholic

[@saipansoul]

I believe he grew up both in the Greek Orthodox and Catholic Church but his mother always reminded him to be open minded and even taught him about Buddhism and other spiritual traditions. Shaykh Hamza Yusuf is a gem in Islam. He is a devout worshipper, scholar, and an amazing human being. Masha’Allah. May God protect him and preserve him.

@Bibibibi Pipipi I follow Judaism, which is the oldest of the G-D based faiths. Where we encounter fellow Jews who have strayed from the path, we try to engage them so that they come back to the fold and show them how G-D can be a part of their lives. You don't need to condemn all non believers out of hand or send them to hell. Many professed atheists have come back to G-D as a result of having Near Death Experiences or other spiritual encounters. This is what G-D is looking for in the end. Did you try to encourage such people to re-engage with their faith?

@Bibibibi Pipipi Judaism is based on the Torah which was given to us 3,300 years ago atop Mount Sinai. Tell me of a G-D based faith which preceded that.

@@AntonySachin "It has no connection with an arabic culture". Just to be very simple and concise. Who is the father of western thought? Socrates whom we know from the great Plato, and his student Plato, and his student Aristotle. Aristotle, literally called The Philosopher was known through Ibn Rushd (Averroes) that he was named by the westerners who read Aristotle through him as "The Commentator" Did you know the only single work of Plato known to the west was the first part of Timaeus? So how did the other texts reach the west? Literally by Plethon taking them from Constantinople. Algebra is الجبر which literally comes from Khawarizmi's name of his book Algebra الجبر Chemistry is a renaissance era change of the word Alchemy which is from the root الكيمياء or Alchemy or The Chemistry. The element system literally comes from Jabir ibn Hayyan. The Book of Optics literally comes from Ibn al-Haytham. "In the book, he presented a study of the phenomenon of the camera obscura (his thousand-year-old version of the pinhole camera) and delved further into the way the eye itself works. Using dissections and the knowledge of previous scholars, he was able to begin to explain how light enters the eye. He asserted that the light ray is focused, but the actual explanation of how light projected to the back of the eye had to wait until 1604. His Treatise on Light explained the camera obscura, hundreds of years before the modern development of photography" Who literally outlined natural selecrion and darwinism a thousand years before darwin? Al-Jahiz! Who formulated the scientific method? Jabir ibn-Hayyan (Geber) I mean I don't even have to go deep, rhis is all elementary basic knowledge.

Nice discussion. Shaykh Hamza's ending comment, "Hopefully we will all get closer to The Truth (God Almighty who is Al Haqq - The Truth)" was wonderful.

[@murtu01]

SubhanAllah 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ I am really overjoyed to see my favourite scholar here and seeing him representing islam is the best thing ever. Intellectual and so scholarly.

Hihi Hamza Tzortzis!

[@batmanarkham5120]

Such a brilliant sagacious mind this scholar Hamza. Heard him for the first time. By the way Was watching is time travel possible of Closer to truth just before this 😊

[@IchNzr]

Oh my. such a wholesome comment section and a wonderful discussion. Just people sharing knowledge without bickering or debating that doesn't take things anywhere. Peace all.

[@1aninterpreter1]

Islam's approach to explaining Allah is compelling and Sheih Hamza Yousef is a great exponent of islam and sufism.

[@fredmatthew2970]

What a beautiful discussion! What a great scholar is Hamza Yusuf. Terrific!

[@rexdraconis6379]

That was an awesome interview, God bless U all and may we all come in contact with the Truth

[@Jabe1963]

Sir sheikh Hamza you are a precious gem of the Truth

[@skywa7183]

God has the picture, we have the pixel. So on the surface something may seem evil to us, but we don't have all the knowledge in the world to judge whether or not something evil per se. A child cud die of cancer but we may not know, if the child grew up, he might become a murderer. So God, knowing this, might decide to do what he knows to be good. Simple. We don't know everything. It's as simple as that. Problem of evil isn't a real problem at all for denying God

[@shooshcatlover9509]

Enjoyed every minute of this conversation!

[@SM-zl4zd]

Omg, Sheikh Hamza rocking that enlightened, "I'm so occupied with reflection/tafakkur that I have no time for outer vanities", handsome derwish style haircut - didn't expect to see that. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf Hanson/Handsom.

Why is video unlisted ? everybody wants to get closer to truth , this video should be in close proximity to everyone so that they can also get closer to truth

[@221Dw]

What do you mean unlisted?

[@marksnow9]

What an amazing debate! The title is true to its content, really! Closer to truth. I'm lost for words and for the good reason because the thoughts and spiritual feelings are much more profound and immense than the words to describe. God bless both and God bless the true souls and may God be merciful to lost souls. I'm a bit of a lost soul for a long time now.

[@JustAnswers359]

I started watching one minute and then watched it all without skipping a second. Prof Hamza has his answers ready. Amazing talk and one of the best by CTT . Thank you

[@nguyenhong8558]

My heart feels abit worried seeing Shaikh Hamza white hair and beard growing more.May Allah keep him long with us and make many benefit from his knowledge.Thank you Mr Robert for being polite and seeking truth.May Allah guide good hearts.

[@tsurumikutaro7642]

I love shekh Hamza Yusuf, he always come at top of any questions eloquent in English and his knowledge of the Arabic language makes him a machine of accurate expression. I hope he cut all ties with UAE. 🇦🇪☠

[@sunset2.00]

lets not politicize everything

[@FactFusionU]

Dont like UAE politics but lets not forget that UAE has a muslim population that cannot be disowned. They are our blood and flesh. and we must love them as our brothers and sisters.

[@26beatboy]

Shut up. Backwards muslims hate the UAE because it rejected to be like them and decided to modernise and improve instead. Keep crying.

This is wonderful! Need to have Jordan Peterson and Shaykh Hamza Yusuf or Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad. This would be enlightening for everyone!

It's funny how Aquinas quoted more muslim scholars in his Suma Theologica than any other religion, even his own, not to mention the Bible.

[@fazlesaifullah]

Truly thought provoking discussion thanks for sharing. I am so glad I stumbled upon this. Love Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, may God bless and preserve him.

[@godisonegodhaswon]

He makes a brilliant point at 43:29 when he alludes to the Muslim belief of how God is the witness the only true mind or only real observer this relates perfectly to quantum mechanics and the phenomenon of waveform wave function collapse
