Hamza is a well spent time... his humble, gentle soul and his vast knowledge of the Dean- his ability to use logic, science, history and common life experiences as a well timed additional tools for listeners, is a rare quality that makes following his lectures a great investment for any Muslim desire to grow his Iman and knowledge.

I feel like this has been my best Ramadan and many of my friends too bc our homes have become our masajid instead of depressing lifeless spaces. No mad dash to the masjid, struggling for parking, dealing with sisters who want to turn all the lights off and pray in the dark and should I go on, lol. I must be an isolationist by my genetic code, but some of us find great solace in isolation.
