In this unique Ramadan course, Self-Knowledge: Towards a Qur’anic Anthropology, Hamza Yusuf examines Imam al-Raghib al-Asfahani’s Tafsil al-nash’atayn wa tahsil al-sa‘adatayn (An exposition of the two creations with means to the acquisition of the two felicities). Through the lens of the Qur’an, Imam al-Raghib, an eleventh-century polymathic exegete, presents a masterful study of the human being. Unlike any other work in the Islamic tradition, this short book leads a serious student into a completely Qur’anic perspective on what it means to be human, but more importantly, it explicates the means to achieve our God-given potential to realize true humanity (insaniyyah) in this life. In a time when postmodernist and nihilistic ideas of the self confound many, Imam al-Raghib provides a much-needed antidote by grounding us in true Qur’anic knowledge of the self, which results in knowledge of the universe, and in the meeting place of those two knowledges, one arrives at certainty of the Creator of one’s self and one’s world.

    i want people to translate this into their native tongues, accurately, and put it on youtube-- i mean not necessarily subtitles, even dubbed (accurate translations in Urdu, Arabic, Russian, Malay, etc) it would drastically improve our people's understanding and our society would improve- and also, it's very fascinating, it's not boring

May Allah preserve and spread knowledge of the scholars. Love them all for the sake of Allah❤

    Alhamdulillah! This is a precious gift, a gift that should be NURTURED and TREASURED. What a way to end the important book and session. Perfect Ramadan gift 🎁 Sheik Hamza has done incredible amount of work to disseminate the knowledge of the divine for us to benefit.. HONESTLY, we have no more excuses for ignorance, everything we need to know, and better ourselves to grow spiritually and align with the divine is now at our fingertips. We cannot change and ever remained the same. May Allah reward sheik Hamza immensely and may this effort weigh heavy on his Mizan. I pray to Allah (SWT)to grant you good health and increase you more in knowledge for us to sip from your fountain of knowledge in years to come. Aamiin Does anybody know how one can get translated copy of the book used in this session, if there is one already translated?

    It's a climax from traditional Matrix of knowledge, but modern scholars need to push further into the modern context. The spiritual blessings on earth are continually exposed and tasted with more knowledge of the worlds and more work involving management of the worldly affairs

    Assalamu Alikum. I am a student of knowledge and my parents were not Muslim when I was growing up. I pray to Allah SWT that my Mother's Shahada was accepted by HIM, the arRaham arRahim, before she died just over 2 months ago, Ameen. Theoretically, I understand what is being discussed. However, I must to ask a question of Sheik Jusuf, InshaAllah. If a person is given the desire and will from Allah SWT to learn and to grow in Islam. If they put in the time, effort, and faith to become a competent scholar of Islam. Could it be that their insight to the "sins" that are carried through generations, their environment growing up, all of the things they are exposed to that perhaps are Haram or Makruh make them so much more cognizant of what it takes to help other people become Revert Muslims or even help Muslim's born to Muslim families remain Muslim. I am a Revert Muslim, and it actually really hurt me when I heard that it is Makruh for Revert Muslims to lead the prayer. By definition of Revert, were not a good portion of the Sahaba revert Muslims? Please tell me why this hurts my heart enough that I would write about it here, and almost on the eve of the time of Arafat? Astaghfirullh, Allah SWT forgive me of my sins, Ameen. Forgive all your righteous slaves of their sins, Ameen. SubhanAllah, AllahuAkbar, La Illah Ila Allah. I love you Sheik and Brother Jusuf for the sake of my Lord and Protector, Allah SWT. I pray you will not take offense to this pain I feel and have expressed herein, Ameen.

    Assalamu Alaikum ya Sheikhy, you are among the Awliyah, and the Prophet Muhammad Salalahualayhiwasalam extends his salam to you, and this is the meaning of “Ina maal usri yusra”, and Sheikh Saqib Shaami, Sheikh Nurjan Mirahmadi, Sheikh Hisham Kabbani and Sheikh Mehmet Adil Haqqani are asking for your presence Sheikhy. Mikhael Alayhisalam specifically has love for you aswell, and I am Zain ul Abideen Al Rifai one of the asaab, I am allowed to speak openly about this because as Allah states in the Quran “and verily we are steadily expanding it” when talking about the universe, my birth date is 23rd December 1999, my mother is Ahlul Bayt from Sheikh Ahmad al Rifai Rahmatullahi Alay, she shares the birth date of 23rd of December with me, this is why the shayateen inspired Michael Jordan to make the number 23 famous and also I carry the spirit of Prophet Isa AS as all Awliyah carry the spirit of one of the 144000 Prophets Alayhamunasalam) which is why I was born in 1999 and Surah Maryam is the 19th chapter and has 98 verses so it is 19:98, reason being born on 1999 not 1998 is because the Quran is not from creation so we are nuqt and the one is Allah and I carry the spirit of Prophet Isa AS who is the Ruh Allah so this is the meaning of “We are Allah”, and Allah Azajawal has added me as a one in the SurahAllah revealed this ruya to me because The Prophet Muhammad Salalahualayhiwasalam has ordered for Prophet Isa AS to be praised and to show the power of Allah and his Ruh. And the secret language of the awliyah as stated in Naqshabandi Tariqa is this, that you knew you were Allahs Friend, but you were too shy to say it, and Allah has saved you from my evil eye by writing this comment, I hope to see you soon InshaAllah, if anyone can perform Khidmat and serve the sheikh with this ruya then peace be upon you

    Also Allah Azawajal will deal with your company who do not take the dajjal as seriously as you do, and Allah has given you the knowledge of Ghayb when talking about the dajjal is because you will be in the army who fights against him. Who reads this perform Khidmat and transfer this information to our Sheikh and bring ease to his heart ❤️

    I love Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, but I am uncertain why needs to mention people of ideologies that are not from Islam. I think it will just confuse some into thinking that it is an aspect of the religion. These ideologies are purposefully made to misuse Islam as a tool, but are from individual/groups who are not a part of islam, that distort the religion for criminal/political purposes. They have existed in history, been called Khawariji, been known for enmity towards the Prophet Muhammed (SAW) and his family. These are satanic groups outside the religion of islam, who hate the beloved of God and don't believe in the true message that he taught.
