When the Famous Become Infamous, Remain Faithful 

"follow the sunnah of the dead person" .. subhanallah

Salaam, My Dear Sheikh, For years I have listened to your lectures and without exception, I’ve enjoyed them all. It is a joy to listen to the CONTENT of your talks. It shows the incredible width and depth of your reading, your knowledge and your research and how well you analyze what you have read in terms of Islam. I don’t think that I’ve heard any other Sheikh of present day with such a deep know,edge of all spheres of learning - literature, history, linguistics, et al. I admire the way you COMMUNICATE your ideas. Best of all, you understand how to reach your audience. In a world where ideas are communicated through fire and brimstone, amidst all the clamor that surrounds us, your calm, low pitched voice, the softness of the tone, the tenor, the clarity of your presentation command attention. I feel that you and your audience are having a tete-a-tete over dinner. Everything is a vehicle for spreading Islam. Thank you and may Almighty Allah continue to bless you with good health, with His rahma and His blessed Nur. BTW, I am enjoying the book you recommended written by Martin Lings - “MUHAMMAD”. May I also comment on the beauty of the landscaping of the campus of Zaytuna college? It looks so calm and so peaceful, planned only to enhance and encourage learning and introspection and discussion. I’m very old now (77) but InshaAllah, I’ll continue to listen to your lectures. Jazak Allahi Khairun

Jazakallah Khair for this lesson. Recently, a good Catholic teacher was first assaulted, then murdered by two wicked students who didn’t want to learn Spanish. Abuses of Muslim women and girls are rampant in today’s culture. especially in public school systems.

May Allah protect our shaykh

May Allah bless, guide and protect the Believers and purify our intentions.

Yet again another brilliant enriching episode

Masha Allah

As Salaam Wa Alaikum.May Allah bless Shekih Hamza and his family,teachers and students abundantly,abundantly,abundantly Shukran Sheik for just being.

mA, such an important and necessary reminder from our beloved brother and teacher. May ALLAH shower His divine love and mercy upon you and your loved ones.

Thank you Shaykh for this knowledge. I don't think that a person (hearing about these things), normally thinks this deeply and then certainly there is an adverse affect. I am thankful for this explanation because it can be used as "armour" for future events as well as explanation of current and past events as well. And yes having a teacher is extremely important as this talk is example of.

Really efficient!! Indeed, one of Allah's 99 names is "Al Haq" which means the truth in Arabic. So Man should follow The Truth and not those who make-believe they're telling it.

Beautiful musings... May Allah protect him. Ameen

Elhamdulilah we have people like Hamza Yusuf to remind us the true path. May Allah favour us with the light of understanding

JazakAllahu khayran kathira Syeikh...what a timely reminder. May Allah swt keep you and your family away from anything that may harm your faith, integrity, ikhlas and health, Amin!

Excellent mashallah. Made me really ponder this morning.

That was a beautiful ❤️ reminder Alhamduliah

Hold on.💛

Alhamdulillah, I always learn soooooo much from your talks Dear Shaykh

11:53 loved this story about Croesus

Focus on God not people ♥️

Assalamualaikum thank you so much very beneficial . May Allah bless you Ameen!!!!!❤

Masterclass !

Dear Sheikh Hamza Yousaf, It was exactly at the right time. I also read the paper that you refer to. However I find it too short and missing interconnected links that let people internalize thing by relating. and I understand that it's short because it's a translation. However, we would be very very obliged if you do a short talk on this to elaborate. JazakAllah

♥️

Thanks but why is the an image of the inside of a church, a place partners are associated with Allāh, the most evil thing which associating a son to Allāh. Please be aware of it next time. Jazaku’Allāhu khair

What if you don't have any person at all to look up nor did such a person need anyone where seeking knowledge sufficed from the very beginning and you get tried in such a way that weakens your faith so drastically despite your great efforts to devote yourself ? I found myself in such a terrible situation where I said to Allah "you know my intentions and so do I. What is the reasons as to why such tribulation or punishment happens?

Assalaam alykum - can anyone post the link to the article that the Shaikh is referring to Jazallah

I think Hamza has missed the point about loosing faith. When a highly regarded preacher of any faith is exposed by scandal he is shown to be a hypocrite, someone who acted the religious preacher but didn't really walk the talk. inThe case of Anthony Flew he wasn't a hypocrite he simply had a change of mind and heart the same as someone who was a Christian reverts to Islam. Ravi Zacharias didn't have a change of heart, he was living a double life . What does this teach us, well we are all fallable and so we should exalt or raise other humans up on a pedestal

Is he referring to the Ravi Zacharias issue? This lecture must be new.
