The False Idol of Greed 

Ameen ya rabb. I converted to Islam from Catholicism in my late 30s. The fitra inside me knew from a young age that there is only 1 god, but it took me several decades to discover the truth InshaAllah those who are guided will answer the call of Islam. There is so much about Islam that felt familiar to me having grown up in Catholicism.

Quran is the latest update to bible There's only one God.and we are all children of Adam and eve. Read the quran and u will be shocked ,thinking your reading the bible

Thank goodness, good sense prevailed. Love and blessings from India a

I thought so too while watching and was a tad disappointed that he kept on doing that. The Rabbi kept on smiling - he's a noble man. I hope that Shaykh Hamza becomes more aware in his future interviews. Great content, great questions, great quality.

Thats why I got rid of all social media.

It’s hard but we will survive through Allah, inshallah

As someone who works with him, it’s sad to see a comment like this from a Muslim. He prefers the masters to his own ideas. He also always teaches us to assume the best about others. Sometimes we project our own sicknesses onto others. My experience at Zaytuna is the opposite of your opinion. This was done as an interfaith project to show similarities between traditions. One would think you’d want to quote from those traditions. Many Muslim scholars wrote entire books quoting other scholars. Part of todays problem is everyone feels their own view is best. I think it’s a hadith about the end of time. Allah knows best.

@@ufh2101 I've considered what you said (thank you) and re-read what I wrote and agree. I went too far in the wording and also wrote in haste :( I don't think it was a case of projecting own problem, but thanks for the candidness. I will try to retract it if possible. I do still feel there is a problem worth evaluating and considering. Especially after watching the discussion on Sloth. It was really good. I benefitted from the knowledge shared by the two. But I can't but notice something I think is worthy of reflection. I definitely do not want to pick faults and apologize if it comes out that way. It's like a family member trying to help our larger family grow and get better through one small conversation at a time. In the Sloth dialogue, Shaykh refers to Eva Bran multiple times as being a Master to him and he the student. It also came across that way. Interesting that she was asking the questions (tho they were questions only for reflection to awaken a better understanding) while Shaykh would just immediately answer each one with his conviction or those of other scholars. I don't recall him asking Eva any questions and at the end it appeared (reading deeper) a beautiful thing happened (whether intentional or not I don't know) but she in an elegant way seemed to show that too much talking on the pulpit, being dogmatic, or being too opposite of Sloth busy was not a good thing. Anyhow, very interesting. This is not my expertise and I know basically nothing. I am so so so glad Alhamdulillah there is something like Zaytuna in North America. God bless and guide its leaders and students and all of us iA.

Not necessarily to lessen it, but to keep these desires away from becoming perverse, in a balance.

It got cancelled br. Mohamed Hijab has had a discussion with him

Here's the link to his conversion, i have seen it 3 or more times lol 😄 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NrJTpuq98vU.html

Change is good remember that. Especially if its afters years, its inner growth

Your confusing religious dogma ideology with inherent nature that precedes religion as you know it from anthropological history.

The moral compass you mention that is religion in our regard. I can point you to another video by shaykh Hamza where he talks about this in detail so you may get a better understanding.

Type in Hamza Yusuf debates Humanist Atheists. On RU-vid. He talks exactly about what your saying.

@@ponderingspirit Ameen. They are not saints, but people. People can be unaware. They don’t know everything about everything, and that’s ok. In Islam we worship Allah, not people.

Maybe it's to entice people to Islam?

@@dan138zig I'll give him the benefit of doubt since he is muslim after all.but most interfaith dialogues have close to zero intention of propagating Islam.rther they are friendly chit chat talking about similar issues

@@mobinurrahman4377 what's wrong with that

@@mobinurrahman4377 If you don't like Sh. Hamza Yusuf.. Don't click on his videos.. that's probably best for your heart so shaytan doesn't whisper to your ears and tell you to write something stupid in the comment and cause confusion..

@@browntaint6916 i don’t like him.ok you tell me. What's beneficial in sitting with kuffar not propagating Islam to them.not giving them direct dawah and calling them out straight on their false ideologies.instead just being friendly and chit chat without any direct motive to propagate Islam and trying to show it is better then what they believe.
