This is a treat! Looking forward to the discussion.

I won’t wait until the end. You don’t disappoint. After the unusually lengthy introduction (he needs no introduction of course) you give him plenty of breathing space. Well done, The Murray book is “The Strange Death of Europe” BTW. Your observation of him is astute. It’s interesting how we agree with the right on values, but they see us a threat, whereas we disagree with the left on values but they don’t currently see us as a threat, so long as we don’t oppose each other openly on ideology. Well done on exploring difficult subjects with important people. It’s great to watch.

I didn't know Abdul Hakim murad. Thanks Paul for introducing him to me... I can only imagine his level of knowledge by this conversation. Looking forward to his book about life.

Interesting to hear the points about Mosque architecture, couldn't agree more. Finally somebody with clout has said it loud and clear!

Ustad Abdul Hakim Is one of those traditional rihla imams of the past He is a gem in the west for us Hope i meet him someday

[@ghalibimtiyaz4824]

Formerly known as T J Winters, Professor Abdul Hakim Murad is not just an ordinary revert, he is a sea of knowledge and deeply rooted in our scholastic tradition. Both He and Hamza Yusuf Hanson (May Allah be pleased with them both) played a huge part for 2 decades as we grew up in the West and mainstream scholarship was rare. Now we have so many students of knowledge who made our tradition more accessible and Abdul Hakim Murad's clip on Rida (contentment) was awe-inspiring

@ Ghalib you are so right!
