I just love listening to him, my admiration and love with respect for this mans heart is simply hard to put into words. He serves and truly worships Allah swt and his adoration and love and devotion to the Prophet saw pbuh is unequaled, its truly mind blowing. I'd seriously love to leave the UK and go and study and learn under his Organization then go around the world help teach what I've learned but sadly, my lack of Academic ability hinders all of my wishes. Sheikh Hamza you have my attention and also my heart brother, I am such a Big fan and follower of all your lectures and video's. Thank You you have changed my heart and main focus in my own life Jazakallah Khair :O
I love how he talks about the risks of Anal sex, genital wort's and diseases which hardly anyone wishes to discuss because of embarrassment, he goes beyond boundaries that some of you would never go to simply to try and encourage our young generation to stop these foolish acts and not to endanger their own lives. May God reward you Sheikh Hamza you are one of a kind brother, Alhamdulilah :)
The truth has been spoken. Inshallah we can help each other to build this world so we can move on to hereafter. We are here to serve and move on. Islam is about elevating and leaving.
I have always believed that hopelessness is a sin, and good man affirmed my belief. May Allah reward him here in this world and akhera, ameen, An excellent speech, people like him are the ones who will bring out Islam and the true doctrine of it to the world as we see it, he was destined to accept Islam and speak out to the others. May Allah guide and help him and all of us. Ameen
After a long wait some new spiritual message from sheikh hamza yusuf...may god bless him for his good deeds and spread the true message of peace from ulamas like him and save us from the oppressors.Ameen
Thank you for sharing these issues. You have touched on so many issues in the American culture. Thank you! I feel your passion and conviction and you are making a difference!
Subhanallah Ma Sha Allah? The passion in his voice the energy coming through him. I'm in Tears completely speechless. But my Hopes have soared time to dedicate more time on what pleases ALLAH!!!
This man is wise... I used to be a porn addict but after watching some RU-vid videos just out of curiosity I become aware of it's danger. Porn is bad for me my wife and society. And very few talks about it!
downloading this before it gets deleted. sh hamza videos have a tendency to be subject to extensive copyright by RIS, deen institute etc., it really grinds my gears. why not just share all the khayr to everyone in the world from one the best ulema of the west of this time rewards for doing so for the producers of the video would also be hundred-fold, rather than making it private and selling it. JzkAk ByChoiceMuslim.
I hope it's not his swan song, he's been great. He was def heated in this one. It's a shame but it seems us humans respond more to yelling, scolding etc., many talks I LOVE from hamza that were peaceful get little audience reaction. I like how he summed up the creed at the end too.
***** Salaam! :) no of course not :D the prophet pbuh was known for his smile, the sahabah always use to wrestle for fun, write poetry, laugh about the days of the jaahiliyah. the Quran mentions in various points that the beauty of this world was created for enjoyment- however you enjoy it in a way that pleases Allah :) e.g. go out to a park with family- enjoying their company is worship, enjoying allahs creation is worship, reflecting on allahs creation is worship, relaxing your mind and body is worship, eating and energizing your body is worship. Allah is merciful, and Islam is a mercy. Enjoy it :)
eeeh ... 6:50 i like Hamza but he's wrong when he says Muhammad taught equality of men and women as he said; much less was he the first one to do so. Epicurus did 2400 yrs ago ...
***** Muhammad more significant than Epicurus? are you serious?! Read "The Swerve" so that you can begin to understand how a single book written by a single Epicurean (Lucretius' De Rerum Natura) is credited with lifting Europe from the Dark Ages. Also, another Epicurean, a woman (Frances Wright) converted Thomas Jefferson to Epicureanism, which led to his writing Epicurean ideas into the Declaration of Independence of the US ... she also inspired Susan B Anthony during the suffrage and was an abolitionist who began to create the infrastructure to liberate blacks. Epicureans have ALWAYS been ahead of their generation in every way. We can't say the same for Muhammad and his religion which is anything but progressive.
You're american and your Islam is incidental? wow You are basically contradicting yourself by saying the prophet SAW said there is no racism or sexism, I believe he talked about secularism also, instead we should look at ourselves as brothers and sisters in Islam first and then your brothers in humanity, nationality is at the bottom of the totem pole, but you emphasized that..oh well.
Haja Lameh Perhaps only american converts to Islam can really hear Sheikh Hamzah. He is doing what Allah has allowed him to do. If his talks do not work for you, then there are many other muslim leaders that may have words for your ears. I appreciate his perspectives as I too am an american convert. We have a different need than those born into a muslim family. I suggest that if you have nothing good to say, then maybe it is best for you to say nothing at all. He is shining light on many topics that are necessary for all but especially american converts.
You're an idiot if all you see is the negative in his speech, without unity and assistance to the ones who are representing Islam the best they can then we're not going to have a lot of help.
Coyly throwing in the agenda of shaitan, that is how he operates, only a fool will not spot it, gabble up all the garbage that comes your way without any filter....go right ahead.
