Thank you Hamza Yusuf, for this series i do hope many more in the west take the time to learn more about islam so we can wake up that we have nothing to fear. Islam it seems now after knowing a bit more is one of the great faiths of the world and we have nothing to fear from a moslems. I wish very much that we could learn to live with each other and respect each others faiths.. Well done good work answered many questions i had with regards to your faith. Cheers Greg

[@MakaveliA.B]

I wonder if you ever converted to Islam ?

[@HMMK119]

Watching hamza Yusuf speaks about Islam in such an attractive way made me think about how attractive was our prophet Muhammad peace be upon him

[@andregide12]

Hamza Yusuf is a very precious gem that we have. His knowledge and eloquent style are quite admirable. It is worthwhile to repeat his word, we need to learn "how to conquer our wants." Just this word is a sufficient reason to watch this video. if we can conquer our redundant desires, that would be the most remarkable conquest in our personal history. This is really a true conquest and incomparably better than the conquest of lands.

[@ShaukatAli]

Soft, effective and full of arguments. Love to listen to Sheikh Hamza Yusuf

[@samiware1704]

I love Hamza Yusef and his lectures, and always feel like i want to add something to his speech that supports his view....He is a wonderful humble man ...he knows what he is talking about.

[@bobbyali4496]

I Hope Allah gives me the Gift of meeting you one day or more so that you take me as your apprentice if not my sons Inshallah Ammeen

[@omarselim6281]

The first 25 minutes of this are the most pertinent to today's world than anything I've heard on Islam before! This is simply incredible to hear notwithstanding that it was recorded decades ago

[@jeremesalazar3134]

I love this teacher, his methods and topics, I like them all.

[@salsabilahmedshrestho960]

Yes. He is very articulate.

[@kellymarieusa1]

Wow! The way this man processess information, not to mention the amount of information he knows, is amazing! Subhanallah!

[@zyehia]

This lecture could be potentially life-changing, seriously. Subhan Allah

[@couturenoble8954]

[@creativefla]

Thank you Hamza and KZbin algorithm

[@IrfanShah-nc5cx]

Shaykh you are Inspirational personality..... Whenever I hear you I miss imam Al-Ghazali RA

[@couturenoble8954]

At my work place I was caught in backbiting even if I did everything to avoid it. One of my coworkers that became a friend, I went to her, and started to speak about an evil coworkers, she stopped me, risked our friendship by telling me" I want my prayers to be answered, if you come with gossip, I will walk away, we don't do gossip" my nafs was offended and didn't talk to her for three days, but I knew she taught me some valuable lesson, and I wanted to stay friends with her, because I genuinely loved her for the sake of Allah swt.. She passed away, but she left behind her morals and amazing advice. Allah I rahama. Ameen. Now I navigate the workplace like an eel, nobody can get me caught into the gossip. Alhamdoulah.

Such a beautiful lecture that lead me to depths of understanding I didn't know existed

[@syedsalam3199]

What a great oration ! If Sheikh Hamza Yusuf succeeds in reviving the beauty of forgotten Hadeeth of Ihsan, it will change the spritual trajectory of Muslims in West.

[@SabreenSyeed]

Masha Allah! answered all my inner spiritual questions.

[@julio14335]

I cannot understand why people like to put labels on others. To my surprise muslims themselves do that all the time to other muslims. Names of prominent teachers, school of taughts, or mas-habs should not always be regarded as non-muslims or other muslims. I believe anyone that truly believe in `La ilaha ilalah Muhammad Rasolulah (s.a.w)` without any compromise with it true meanings is a Muslim. IGTILAF (differences of opinion) is allowed in Islam. After all Allah is the best and final Judge as to who is true muslim or not.

[@baasirsaeed7426]

Julio Kosters yes it's unfortunate how often instead of having good discussion these comment sections are dominated by divisiveness. What good is knowledge if it's just used to differentiate

[@ruzhdigurra1750]

You’re sent by Allah for me only Always your speech makes me cry Esselam aleykum

I love you Hamza Yusuf As my brother Teacher and A'alim of time and May Allah Keep you protected by Evil and The helpers of the Devil and May Allah CRUSH their wicked plans Against you and all our U'lumaah of our time and the ones to come.

Great lecture! God bless Hamza. This lecture reminded me once again of what is most important.

Another great lecture by Hamza Yusuf. Thank you for uploading.

Imam Abo Yazeed Al-Bustamy, when confronted the Almighty Soul of God asking him "Ya Abal Yazeed Matha Tureed" (Oh Abal Yazeed What do you want ?) Abal Yazeed replied "Oreed an la Oreed (I want not to want)

This is just gold, incredible knowledge and insight, Alhamdullilah. Peace and blessing upon Sh. Hamza Yusuf and the sacred word he's doing.

[@yika-xy]

Sheikh Hamza Yusuf's ability to grasp knowledge is Allah's gift to him and I ask Allah to allow me - and us all - to benefit from it. I also ask Allah to lengthen Sheikh Hamza Yusuf's life and grant him good health as long as he live so we can benefit more from what Allah gave him and more of us can benefit from it. Amīn.

[@janmasuan]

May Allah bless you hamza...

[@observeandlearn4466]

The first half of the lecture may seem irrelevant but it's very important to understand the lack of Ihsan prior to divulging into the depths of the reality of Ihsan

[@Abrazos573]

Thank you, the middle path and balance is always best insha Allah.

Only 1 mistake where he says there r no mentors left is not true. If you are sincerely looking for one Almighty Allah will guide you to one and dua for it.

Love this lecture

[@bayreuth79]

The question of how we begin the process whereby we can become people of Ihsan: 41:00 onwards. Very interesting discussion.

[@ArchangelWolfy]

Mashallah beautiful inner teachings of Islam! Read secrets of divine love by A.Helwa to dive deeper into these topics.

[@bbenali8804]

Best ever!

Interesting discussion of al-Ghazali and Ibn Rushd (Averroes) with reference to rationalism: 8:50mins onwards.

[@suhailnyc1]

Who else listens to these while going to sleep and has dreams that sheikh Hamza is talking to them with a group of other students and sometimes he looks at you directly and you get real self conscious and scared?

Moses asked God, what is the most hidden of all your blessings. "The Breath" To which Islamic tradition? I would love to explore a written content regarding this. Thank you.

[@artiexus]

I think he’s referring to Al-Qurtubi’s Tafsir of Al-Baqarah, specifically 2 : 52: “Da'ud said […] 'O Lord, show me Your most hidden blessing to me!' He said, 'Breathe, Da'ud.' Da'ud took a breath. Allah said, 'Who counts this blessing night and day?' “ I think he mixed up David with Moses (who appears later in the passage). From pages 250-251, free to download: archive.org/details/TafsirAlQurtubiVolI

so what? does it matter how he is sitting for me all of them listening to him that is an incredable thing ,can you do that to at least one person?

The guy sitting at the front is disgusting the hell out of me ..it's so distracting i can't focus , his foot is in the camera's face ,he's sitting in front of sheikh Hamza ,and he keeps picking his earwax ...so oblivious to "adab" Alhamdulilah.

[@ReulMcGillolane]

Miro aj Funny, I didn't notice... ;) (hint)

[@o2xb]

I understand where your coming from, but from my experience with teachers is that sometimes the teacher lets his students sit how they want for comfort reasons.lets not forget they are sitting for quite a long time!!!

Why is there a dude barefoot in the middle of a lecture

[@buzz5695]

Book recommendation at 50:15

[@tariql353]

although i agree that he is mashAllah a good person for being there, his foot being up like that is disrespectful to the speaker. it doesnt matter what the speaker is talking about (but this is even more important because this is an Islamic talk), his foot should be down. not to judge him, but just to point out for educational purposes.

[@c.ajassena9551]

tariql353 yes i noticed it too

[@hamiddawgg]

haha, i was gonna hate on the guy with the dirty ear but people have already done that for me

[@irfandidjailani]

what is the book title he is explaining?

[@mohammedyoussef5564]

as-salamu 3alaykum wa raHmatu-Llah, Irfandi. It is not a book he is explaining, wa Allahu 3alam, but the four main parts and the four main knowledges of Islam itself : Islam, Iman, Ihsan, and the Knowledge about the End times and the signs of the Hour. The base of this course shall be the famous "Hadeeth Jibril"... And the present episode is dealing with a "dramatically forgotten fondamental", and definitively the "unignorable" upper level, of this deen (religion) wich is al-Ihsan. It is a word that is not easy to translate... like "excellence" or "the perfected faith" may be ! but even like this, can you catch it ? wich is probably why the Prophet - saws - answers by an exemple when he was asked about it (al-ihsan) : 《 It is that you worship Allah (God) as you see Him. Because if you can not see Him, kwow that, certainly, He sees you ! 》 -- Note that we shall shurely understand here : "It is that you worship Allah (God) [and act] as you see Him. Because if you do not see Him know that (...)" wa Allahu 3alam. wa s-salamu 3alaykum wa raHmatu-Llah

[@noumanqureshi8489]

The guy sitting in the front is evidently not interested in the class and has rudeness written all over his behaviour, from the foot raised above his head to poking his finger in his ear. No wonder these people are considered unempathetic bigots.

[@RIMJANESSOHMALOOG]

I meant that this guy is not getting the benefit of this lecture and I see it as a lack of respect. Nope, nobody would listen to me!! :)

If you dont care then why bother write comment here in the first place. Its bidaah using internet to dakwah. Its never been taught by the prophet (its a joke).

[@Osealey]

He's making Sufism seem like the only true way to true Ihsan, with him saying it's the highest level. All of us will want to be at the highest level. Haha subliminal messaging ftw

[@Osealey]

***** Haha, I doubt he is, with defamatory and derogatory statements to me. I doubt he's even a muslim. Peace be with you "DEEN MISTIKAL" Haha

[@ReulMcGillolane]

Osealey Yes, it seems that he is saying that only a few people are naturally pure of heart and most of us need the benefit of Sufism. I think that is an orthodox Islamic view, though, nothing controversial there - at least not by 'normal' (historically mainstream) standards. But, the Shaykh can say that 2+2=4 and there will be people commenting that he uses deviant math or something! lol. God bless him, and us.

[@rustyray420]

What's wrong with what he's teaching? Got any actual refutation or sre you just one of those who speak and try to slander someone with no knowledge or truth?
