Pillars of Practice - Part 1 of 2 - Hamza Yusuf (Foundations of Islam Series: Session 2) 

This brother is fair minded, he explains without prejudices. He's also a great teacher without any radicalism maasha'Allah

this man is a modern day superhero of islamic knowledge

All Religions including all other ways of life makes some amount of sense but Islam makes complete sense. The true teachings of Islam attracts every sincere thinking person. There are non muslims that are true muslims subconsciously (by believing in doing good deeds) AND there are muslims that only offer lips service but practice ugly deeds consciously or through ignorancy. Believe me or live it, to know Islam means to love it. Like most sincere human beings this gentleman Hamza is a clear illustration of what am trying to say. God bless the living.

@RAFAAJ2000 Thanks! This video is from a 7-part series called "Foundations of Islam". You can find the links for the other sessions in the description section below this video. Also, did you see our channel page? We have hundreds of videos there! :)

I am very happy that these videos are now available for free on youtube. This series especially seems to be a very beneficial one. I would approach these lectures like a student approaching a college seminar. Alhamdulillah! May Allah bless you for your work.

Interesting explanations of Islam. Very helpful.

Islamic or any other religious lecture cannot be more precise than this one. Flow of information, logic sense, decency of behaviour nothing seems to be missing.

35:04 -- I just love how he clarifies and explains the name of God: "Al-Baasit" البَاسِطِ - translated as: The Expander. ♦ The meaning is sometimes not very clear to a lot of people. What is meant by the "Expander", the One who "expands". I was already previously aware of a common example relating to sustenance & provision ("rizq" رِزْق) - that God (Al-Baasit) expands provision & contracts it for whomever He wills. But the example of the Heart, the Lungs and Pupils was even more brilliant!!

wow these people listening to his lecture now know more about Islam than "Muslims" themselves do.

Extremely beneficial, insightful, eyeopening (whether you're a Muslim or not) this is highly recommended to watch, learn and benefit yourself!

@emzeeone Go away please!, Hamza Yusuf Hafidhullah! Is on the Haq! And is a Pearl of the Ummah!, May Allah safeguard him from people like you! Ameen Ya Rab!

Selam from Bosnia 😊

May Allah forgive his sins and rescue him from the issues he has been involved it; he is so knowledgeable but that is not was saves us from the fire per se, we pray that Allah guides him and us on to the straight path. Ameeen

@kabir7861 Ameen! Please continue to make dua for us. We need it! And may Allah reward you too!

*Alhamdulillah for the peace and purpose that being a Muslim brings into my life. Grateful for Allah's guidance on this blessed journey. 🌙🤲*

Aya is a sign but not meant as a symbol. It's a sign as in a clue, guide, lead and an indication. Interestingly in the Quran, history and the circles of life and societies and nations and their repeating patterns are called as signs/ayat. The laws of nature, biology, and the laws of cosmos and their patterns are also called ayat. Because if we truly ponder on them they will lead us to the Creator. Sura is a version of the word sur meaning a wall that goes around and encompasses like a fence or a fortress. It might be because Allah has challenged the unbelievers to come up with a similar of a sura and they couldn't come up with one. It's understand as something a human cannot breach just like a an encompassing wall. And some suras that are especially recited to protect from evil are described in hadeeth as a fortress that protects who's inside (who uses the suras to take refuge in Allah). Also an interesting pattern in suras is that they mostly have circular subjects. A sura usually goes from subject A, B, C that are all leading one to the other. Then the points get reiterated and summarized in a different way going c, b, a. And that's like a sur that is connected and goes a round to end where it started.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته . I love you for the sake of ALLAH, I envy you for the knowledge you have learned in a good way ماشاءالله

sad thing is this non muslims at the end of the day knows more about islam than muslims themselves. i think muslims are the number one people that need to listen to this series

i love Shaykh Hamza Yusuf for the Sake of Allah Most Exalted.

39:02 TRUMP

22:19 -- "Enclosed" or, "Surrounded" Cuz "Soorah" سُورَة (often simply translated as "Chapter") actually is related to a word in Arabic that means: a city wall, or a fence. ♦ So each of the 114 Soorahs (Surahs) of the Qur'an is like a separate, enclosed city of "signs" (Ayaat).

These are great informative videos. Can you post more :) Thanks.

When Last Prophet passed away, he left behind only Quran written down by Scribes. He did not leave any of his hadith and sunna behind. If Hadith and sunna was integral part of Islam; Prophet could had setup a separate unique group of scribes to write down his hadith and sunna too. But did he? NO. Up to year 722 A.D, Hadith and Sunna used to have NO ANY legal status. We love and respect Shaykh Hamza. No doubt, he is sincere servant of Allah Jalla Aala but he has been educated by Mullahs and Imams and it is bigg truth that majority of these Mullahs and Imams are the biggest enemy of Allah, Rasool, and Quran. These Mullahs and Priests has been deceiving Jaahil Christians and Muslims from centuries . It was Paul of Islam Imam Shafi a shia hidden under taqqiya who with the support of Pro-shia Pro-Persian and Pro-Zoroastrian Abbasid Caliphs, first time blended and later canonized Bida'aa innovations of Sunna and Hadith in Islam & Later 250-300 YEARS after the death of Last Prophet, Zoroastrian I rani imams of DEFEATED Persia forged millions of lies during 750-1258 AD in order to distort Islam and to disable Quran. Later they labeled these millions of lies as sunna and hadith; despite, to write and possess even true hadith of Prophet was forbidden by Prophet and 4 guided Caliphs. Four Guided Caliphs collected all hadiths from people and burned them So that Muslim should follow only BOOK of Allah. Islam is very simple: What Quran ordains to do, Do it. What Quran forbids, Do not do it. About what Quran is silent is optional to you and do it with ur best honest intelligence under the light of direct and indirect laws of Quran. Any ritual, rite and Sharia law that has no root in Quran is not part of Islam but was blended in Islam during Abbasid Period. Hadiths Books are heap of Persian lies and Prophet never said those hadiths that are stuffed in hadith Books of Persian imams. Quran makes it VERY clear that Only task given to all prophets by GOD was to deliver BOOK of GOD to people clearly, It was not duty of Prophets to invent their own suna and hadith and nor ever they invented but clergy centuries after death of Prophets. Obeying the messenger is in upholding Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran. DEEN=System and Way of life according to Divine Laws Whole Sharia of Islam is contained ONLY in Quran. Who make sharia laws from other Books except Quran are Faasiq, Zaalim and Kaafirs [Verse 5:40-48 of Quran]. Quran is easy to understand and Quran explains itself and Quran is not in need of any man-manufactured Hadiths Books, Tafseers, Contexts and Shane-nazools, This 5 pillar of Islam story is a lie that is forged by Persian Parsi imams. No where COMPLETE and FULLY DETAILED Quran tells us these 5 Pillars that we find in evil Book of Bukhari & imam Muslim & in other Books of Shia and Sunnis. Pillar of Islam is ONE and that is to follow whole BOOK of Allah, Quran. Aqimu-Salaat mean in Quran to establish DIVINE System and Follow Divine laws of Quran. Salaat never mean 5 daily 5 Namaz prayers. These 5 Namaz Prayers are prayers of Persian Zoroastrians that were blended in Islam by Zoroastrian mother of Caliph Haroon Rasheed in 773 AD. Her Name was Khaizran. She ordered Bukhari to forge hadith of Miraaj to validate the blending of these 5 Zoroastrian Prayers in Islam. She bribed mullahs with millions of god and silver coins to sht their mouth, who resisted lost his neck. Quran is Book of Divine Sociology and is not Book of theology or theocratic mullahs and imams. This is why, we do not see any ritual and its units in Complete and fully detailed Quran. Islam is not started from Prophet Muhammad but it was perfected upon him. All Prophets from Noah to Abrahan Moses Jesus and Mohammad preached only one true path of one GOD, Islam. All other dogma are manufactured by Paul, Rabbis and priests. Core message of Islam in Noble Quran is to please GOD by serving his creation [refer to verse 2:177]. The Biggest Prayer is to serve creation of GOD and to remember & MEDITATE GOD in all awaken conditions. No any ritual is in Islam. Quran tells repeatedly that do not make difference among prophets. All Prophets of Islam has same equal esteem and respect. So to say that Eisa or Mohammad is superior to other Prophets is biggg Kufar and clear violation of Quranic commandments. Near a true Muslim, Noah Abraham, Moses Jesus and Mohammad has same esteem and respect.
