Jumu'ah Sermon: The Ocean of Knowledge by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

The greatest quest for a believer is to know his Lord through the pursuit of knowledge. In this powerful khutbah, President Hamza Yusuf explains that sincere and purposeful study serves as man’s highest devotional practice. In a world filled with relentless distractions, this sermon provides a much needed reminder on realigning our focus to that which matters the most: beneficial knowledge.

    Key Takeaways for me: - Shaytan (Satan) tries to distract people from learning and understanding Islam, leading to a lack of understanding and misguided interpretations. - Prayer is the most important spiritual practice (so master prayer), followed by the recitation and understanding of the Quran. - Learn Arabic, as it is the language of the Quran and essential for understanding the religion. The intention to preserve the language is a form of worship. - Be aware of falling into the Fitnah (tribulations) of the time and hold onto the guidance provided by Allah and the Prophet (s). - Have a strong intention in seeking knowledge and to be dedicated to your studies; master grammar, logic, and rhetoric to improve thinking, speaking, and conveying ideas effectively.

    As a 60-year-old childless widow revert, the drive to learn Arabic takes over when there is little time; so, is it not okay to learn as we listen to teachers like this? Allah holds the timescales. He alone we worship and to Him is our return. Intention.

    Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, wa salatu wa salam ala Rasulillah. Dear Brother Yusuf As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. I have so much gratitude and admiration for your remarkable efforts in guiding me and others to the path of Islam by the will of Allah through the way of The Messenger (peace be upon him). SubhanAllah Brother Yusuf, your dedication and commitment to spreading the message of Allah's mercy and guidance is awe-inspiring. In contemplating your impact, I am reminded of the parable mentioned in the Quran, where Allah describes those who spend their wealth in His way as being like a grain that grows seven ears, with each ear containing a hundred grains. This analogy perfectly encapsulates the exponential growth and impact that your tireless efforts have had on the hearts and lives of countless individuals. Just as Allah enhances the reward for those who spend in His cause, He also multiplies the blessings and rewards for those who strive in His path, seeking to guide others to the truth. Your selflessness and unwavering dedication to this noble cause are a shining example for all of us. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best among you are those who are best to their fellow human beings." And indeed, you have exemplified this noble character by dedicating yourself to the service of humanity and leading them towards the light of Islam. Your efforts have not only brought immeasurable joy to those who have embraced Islam but have also strengthened the bonds of brotherhood and unity within our Ummah. May each person you have guided continue to spread goodness and righteousness, creating an eternal unbroken chain of Sadaqah Jariah. Your commitment to da'wah work is a testament to the verse in the Quran, where Allah says, "And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and says, 'Indeed, I am of the Muslims'" (Surah Fussilat, 41:33). Your words and actions have been a means of calling people to the beauty and truth of Islam, and for that, I am are eternally grateful. May Allah bless you abundantly for your unwavering dedication and may He continue to grant you success in your noble mission. May He shower His mercy upon you and your loved ones, and may He make your efforts a source of immense reward in this life and the Aakhirah. JazakAllahu khairan, brother Yusuf, for being a beacon of light and hope for so many. May your journey in spreading the message of Islam be filled with blessings, guidance, and the continued support of Allah's divine help. Longtime fan (For the sake of Allah) U.M.S

    To answer a simple question A friend of Yours has said: 'I am willing not to be willing'. Knowing not what I am, Being not You or He, I am longing to be willing. Oh Lord, help breathe fire Into the embers of connexion again! I ain't a gentle lad, I am all rogue Willing to reach the reverse of mine ; Willing to be a conjuror across the time As to match every day to its night. Oh Lord, help fan the embers of devotion within again ! Lord, I am not that faithful, I am but a self-fooled soul Willing to defeat the patch I've become; Willing to erase the shadow I am. Sharp my desire to turn into nightingale By gushing a pearl into my emptied heart ! Oh Lord, help blow my hideous glass into beautiful shapes. BACAR PAPA Abouttoihi, 19-10-2023

    Abu Darda reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Verily, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge. The inhabitants of the heavens and earth, even the fish in the depths of the water, seek forgiveness for the scholar. The virtue of the scholar over the worshiper is like the superiority of the moon over the stars. The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. They do not leave behind gold or silver coins, but rather they leave behind knowledge. Whoever has taken hold of it has been given an abundant share. Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 3641 Grade: Sahih
