“Dive into the ocean’s depths so that you become wealthy by gaining its rubies and pearls.” In his book The Jewels of the Qur’an, Imam al-Ghazali exhorts readers to develop a deeper relationship with the ocean of the Qur’an, uncovering the immense beauty of the sacred words of God. In this live series, President Hamza Yusuf will elaborate on the main topics discussed in this work, focusing on the major themes, aims, and division of the Qur’an outlined by Imam al-Ghazali. The series will bring light to many hidden jewels of the Qur’an, enhancing our relationship with the sacred text in this blessed month.

It is so special to get to learn from a sheik with such a soft heart along with so much knowledge, Mashallah. Shukran so much for providing this series for us all to benefit from so greatly. I am so grateful. May Allah bless everyone who worked on this.

[@sadiaqureshi2608]

JazakAllah khair for the beautiful lectures series. I am always amazed by Sheikh Hamza’s knowledge, his beautiful allusions to classical literature and poetry, his wisdom and sincerity. We are so blessed to benefit from you. May Allah preserve you, grant you a long and healthy life and grant more barakah in your knowledge. Ameen

I understand about the beauty Allah created. I'm on my way home from holiday to Scottish Isles . The beauty of the mountains, sea,streams, its breath taking. All I could do there was say SubhanAllah to everything

[@tahiraantonia]

Subhannallah. Salah is analogous to giving Allah a standing ovation for His beautiful creation.

Thanks you for uploading this episode, it wasn't uploaded initially, appreciate it. Appreciate all the episodes..the effort and hard work that has gone into it. As well as everything your doing for zaytuna institute.

[@ampiko68]

perhaps The Sheikh may decide to do a tafsir, afterall :) what a gift to mankind would that be !!

[@navedian739]

God gift you long healthy sweet life Bro Maelana Sh Hamza ⌚

[@malikialgeriankabyleswag4200]

I like when you spoke about Allah swt Rahma expressing itself through the khalqq for example the mother hearing the child, as well as the other attributes and if you extended this I'm sure your thought is not much different to Abd al-Qadir himself! I think you are a very great man and your treasure is buried I can see. And thank you for mentioning the Emir and showing respect his Mawqif is a great book. Great lecture!

[@m_saqibali]

mashAllah an amazing series - just some feedback on the audio issue to the media team: 1. Avoid mic rubbing by having the mic pointing away from the sheikh and use the broadcast loop technique to make it look neater. 2. Monitor the sound as the filming is going on.

Jawahirul Quran: The Secret of Suratul Fatihah

[@huggeebear]

I've had some lifelong difficulty in understanding the Merciful 1-part of Allah's (swt) being sent down. Seeing as Allah's sifaat are of him, and are thus qualitatively infinite, how can His (swt) attribute of Mercy be divided into parts? If somebody could clarify , jzk

I can never stop listening to the honorable, respected, and learned Shaykh Yusuf. He never disappoints to amaze me! May Allah Azza Wa Jal, grant him a long wicket on this earth to assist in further attaining learnings from his knowledge, so dearly required, InshaAllah Ameen. Jazakallah Khairan Shaykh! Major characteristics: ★ His widespread savviness and command over the following arguably incomplete list of disciplines within the Religious (Islamic, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, etc.), Western and secular contexts: ⦿ Objective Qu'ran and Hadith Commentaries ⦿ Islamic and Westen Philosophy ⦿ Islamic and Western Politics ⦿ Islamic and Western History ⦿ Language & Linguistics, English in particular ⦿ Islamic and Western Literature, such as Shakespeare, etc. ★ His ability to skillfully navigate through the above. Then he carefully tries to connect the dots between them, i.e., gives the "big picture" ★ His ability to present with ease the complexities of the subject areas. ★ His eloquent use of the English language ★ The soothing and softness in his voice and smile, as opposed to a sermon delivered in Khutbah and on numerous Video Channels ★ His motivational skill is a class above the rest. I'm also amazed at the disparity of subscribers and the number of video views, between the lectures of Shaykh Yusuf and Mufti Menk. 112K vs. 2.45M - an astonishing 1:22 Mathematical Ratio. The above is by no means trying to discredit anyone since that would be arrogance, would cause of sin-able Fitna, of arguable an extremely high degree, apart of being way above my pay-scale, since it is only He that is The Judge! It shouldn't be one or the other, preferably both. It also shouldn't be about quantity, but rather quality. These are two platforms for different reasons or purposes that they serve. What can one read into the above Statistic mean? I wouldn't mind a take on this, please? Allahu A'alam

[@maleeha121]

On the 22nd minute, what does it mean when we say that everything is from 'him'? Are we talking about God here?

What's the relation between sheikh hamza yusuf and Israel? I heard sth🥺

[@Zaytuna]

Shaykh Hamza started this session speaking on what's happening in Palestine and at Al-Agsa. He addressed it again towards the end and also at the end of Session 7. Please keep the entire Ummah in your prayers and good opinion. And surely Allah's aid is sought, and upon Him do we reply.

[@ufh2101]

He has no relationship. But many people who hate him spread false rumors to confuse people. Please don’t be one of them.

[@ethiodawa8316]

@@ufh2101 i love him❤ but i just heard he was behind who UAE and israel deal

[@ufh2101]

@@ethiodawa8316 please see how ridiculous that idea that some people are spreading is. He’s not a politician at all. He’s a scholar. Those rumors are from islamists who hate him because he doesn’t support ideology in Islam. He made a public statement stating he sided with the oppressed Palestinians. People should be carful about Iblis using us. Authubillah.

Isn't masjid al aqsa not a Haram technically? I thought only Mecca and Medina were and had the fiqh rulings of not harming its plants and animals.

It would be an Honor just to see in person S HY, but the comments by some of his detractors make me sick and sad.
