I find it impressive how Hamza Yusuf delivers his lecture about Islam to (maybe) the non-muslims students by bridging the western philosophy and reasonably explaining many analogies in real life

Hamza Yusus is so intelligent.

If we think deeply that why Allah chose Hamza Yousef to revert to Islam because Allah knew that how much knowledge he has and he was on 17 when he reverted then he went to study to gain his knowledge but Allah knew his extraordinary brain. SubhanAllah!

@@MegaFatimab but in order for things to come from other things, we would need an original thing. How can that just appear out of nowhere? Obviously it has to be an uncreated thing - which we call God. And then that God created other stuff. Your explanation makes no sense without God. Also, we don't reject evolution in totality. We do agree that things can adapt and change. There is no contradiction with that.

@CkimCharles Thank you for your comments and for your dua. I respectfully ask for you to give us some quotes from Sh. Hamza's speeches, books, etc. that make it unambiguous he is "spreading sufism, innovation and misguidance". Jazak Allah Khair and masalam.

MustafaA and I had a great conversation and sent me this link. Thank you my friend. It is very interesting.

@CkimCharles Sheikh Hamza does not call himself a sufi. But he does accept a form of tawassuf that is compatable with the sunnah, therefore people started labeling him a Sufi and attributes all the innovation of modern sufi to him. I have watched some of his lecture where he openly says he is not a sufi.

Amazing video, you have answered so many of my questions. Mashallah

@xyzzy7000 "On the Day of Judgment, neither wealth nor sons will avail. But the only ones who will prosper are those that bring to God a sound heart." (Qur'an 26:88-89). I think this verse may be a starting point for researching the answer to your important question. "Sound heart" implies to me sincerity of belief or faith. But I'd be interested to hear what others have to say. Allah knows best.

@xyzzy7000 The Quran says that only those who believe in Allah steadfastly will go to heaven. Now, this is one of the more general ayats about what is needed to get to heaven, so its the idea that even Muslims who sinned &go to hell will eventually get to heaven provided that they DID believe in Allah. I believe that hypocrites necessarily do not believe in God. So even though they "go through the motions" they don't meet the basic requirement for them to eventually get to heaven. Allahu a3lam

Can someone tell me what are the hadiths Sheikh Hamza is mentionning at 1:11:20 ?

@xyzzy7000 here's the direct translation: 41:30 In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is Allah", and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), the which ye were promised! From what I understand from some lections the "stand straight and steadfast" part relates to the belief in Allah as The God in private and public.

why does not mainstream islam teach this publicly.. this is why most people rather tend to things like advaita vedanta, non-dual conception of "God" - arrived only at through the method of "neti-neti" aka "not this, not this". so basically, both teach the same thing. anything that can be pointed at, is an object to one of the 6 senses - the 6th being the mind. but "it" is beyond that, it transcends that. so therefore, God is ineffable to speech and intellect. duality needs to be transcended, only in non-dual perception one can "see" God. that is when discernment goes out the window one one no longer sees the borders between polarities, such as male/female, hot/cold, near/far, etc.. and ultimately, "self" and "other" - so thats where one perceives that all (Self) are 1. i think this is the true understanding of ehad.. oneness, not quantity wise, but unity wise. God is 1. that means there is nothing but God. multiplicity is an illusion due to duality or this "dunya". duality is where discernment is made possible. so its the veil. so God can never be reached through the intellect. only through mystical experience, which is arrived at through meditation (prayer), fasting and chastity. you got all these important elements in Islam, which is nice. and overall, all religions are truly teaching the same under the hood. superficial misconceptions rule though...

Sh Hamza Yusuf misrepresents St Thomas Aquinas here by suggesting that he held the view that God is "the supreme being". Thomas Aquinas thought that the only literal things we can say of God are what God is not. Whatever we might say of him positively is a metaphor or an analogy; and this would include the idea of God as "being". For Aquinas to think of God as a being is tantamount to idolatry, for God is not one being amongs others, but there reason there is something rather than nothing.

Doesn't sheikh Hamza remind you of Milo from the cartoon Atlantis here No ? :p
