Please turn captions ON for subtitles for the Arabic terms. An excerpt of part 2 of a 13-part series by Hamza Yusuf presented at the Deen Intensive Rihla 2008.
May Allah reward sheikh Hamza Yusuf immensely in this life and the next Amen. I truly believe that we need more scholars like this and that we need to be listening to scholars like this more and more. Imagine the excellent state our community could reach if scholars like Hamza Yusuf were respected in the way they should be. People would convert to Islam just through seeing the peace and love and tolerance radiating from its followers. Let's all try to be more like this in our faith. I want to be more like this inshaAllah. To always have the best opinion of my Lord and to give a good impression of His followers and how they treat His creation.
Assalamu aleykum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu, there is a different approach to the issue of sects... And it's a different narration that says "All of them in Paradise except for one".
Why did the video turn into audio only? I love watching the Sheikh talking and interacting with his facial expressions...Also, why did you say that we are not to pray for Kofar? Some of them are good people, why can't I pray for them? You contradicted yourself later in the same speech saying that some Kofar don't belong to hell.... Then you said all Muslims won't go to hell even if they belong there!!! This can't be true dear Sheikh... Sorry with all due respect, but I am gonna have to respectfully disagree with that one.
