Alhumdulillah, now I can refute those christians that think that we don't have the original quran. Thank you Brother Yusuf.

[Salahuddin2009a]

Part 1 of 2: The problem with the Sunni Hamza Yusuf is that he contradicts himself a lot! On one hand he says Arabs could not read or write and had no idea about the concept of BOOK and on the other hand he says that Quran was written by the Sahabas from the early days! He then admits that the writing at the time had no phonetics which could have been subject to misinterpretation! (Cont..)

[Salahuddin2009a]

Part 2 of 2: He also says that every Sahaba memorized the whole Quran but later he admits that there is a verse that has only one reference! He also says that the order that the verses were revealed is different to the way they are presented in Quran. Why would God make it so complicated for everybody? Didnt God know of the mess the people are capable of making?

My conclusion is that Sunnis are not real Muslims.

[USAWorseThanHitler]

@Salahuddin2009a "a" verse is different than "many" or "innumerous". You're conclusion is wrong based on this as it is irrelevant to the matter. Please review your understanding.

[USAWorseThanHitler]

@Salahuddin2009a Yes, arabs could not write, but some did. Sahaba did write, but not all. Please know that a sahaba is defined as anyone who saw the Prophet pbuh before his death who was at least 9 or so. There are many nuances.

[Salahuddin2009a]

@USAWorseThanHitler

RE: sahaba is defined as anyone who saw the Prophet pbuh before his death ...

So if I was alive those days and saw the prophet doing his shopping or talking to his friends on the street then I would be a Sahaba?

This is exactly where the problem is! There are too many sahabas! This is a fact that almost all the citizens of the Arabia saw and heard the prophet in Haj or in the mosque or even on the street! Are they all SAHABAS? So everybody was SAHABA!

[Salahuddin2009a]

@USAWorseThanHitler

If every Muslim that saw the prophet in Haj and social gatherings and Mosque and on the street, etc, etc, became a Sahaba; then WHO WAS NOT SAHABA? This makes everybody a Sahaba!

[USAWorseThanHitler]

@Salahuddin2009a There are disagreements about the criteria of who is a sahaba and not, but not every sahaba is of equal merit as another. For example Zaid is a very "high ranking" companion of the Prophet pbuh as was Umar and Ali and Uthman and Abu Bakr and so on. Not every tom dick and harry was considered to be equal in "worth".

[Salahuddin2009a]

[Quran 9:101] Certain Arabs sitting around you [i.e. Sahabas] are hypocrites, as well as the folks from the Medina they are obstinate in hypocrisy: You [Mohammad] dont know them but We [Allah] know them: twice shall We punish them: and in addition shall they be sent to a grievous penalty [i.e. Hell].

The history shows that Abu Bakr, Umar, Utheman and Aisha were the hypocrites that God was referring to.

[USAWorseThanHitler]

@Salahuddin2009a At the same time, we must keep in mind that by the technical definition of sahaba, we have to know that the hadith scholars and the scholarship of Islam in general is critical and takes into consideration the concern you show in your post.

Salam

[USAWorseThanHitler]

@Salahuddin2009a There is a great book by Muhammad Mustafa Al Azami about the Quran. It's a very good one. Also anotehr good book is Ulum al Quran by Ahmed von denfer (sp)

[Salahuddin2009a]

@USAWorseThanHitler; the best book about Quran is the Quran itself!

You should find out what Quran says for yourself not listening to what other people say about it. How do you knowthese people are not Jewish?

[USAWorseThanHitler]

@Salahuddin2009a I agree. The best thing on the face of the planet is the Quran. Shaykh Hamza is not a Jew. The same way I know these people are not Jews is the same way you dont know they aren't. We cant assume they are without any proof. wasalam brother.

[Sheicki]

Mashallah i wish there was part 8 and it keep on going!

[MeTyuoob]

DUH! coz we ARE slaves of Allah..

[tyrranicalruler]

AMAZING LECTURE...MashAllah

[MatrixOfDynamism]

once a prophet leaves the people (or a main spirtual figure) what he leaves behind becomes just a few collected rituals, people forget the inner spirit and do the shape of what they have their forefathers doing. At this time because of what ever reason things that were not told by the prophet (or that spirtual figure) get added into the practice/belief of people and without a direct intervention the Original teachings are lost forever.

hayward, OH.

[wantobabettermuslim]

JazakAllah for uploading.

Hamza Yusuf is a dignified decent human being. I was blessed to meet him.

[Sammer1111]

I can see that deep inside you're a good person...so don't worry you'll eventually find God Insha'Allah (God willing). Just be honest with yourself and wisely use your brain that God has given you. The truth could be right before you but the distractions of this world are so great that you can't see it.

[Sammer1111]

Your opinion does matter as long as you state it in a respectful manner. It is good to see that you think Islam is the most believable, at least you're being honest. I don't see any problem with bowing before God or washing yourself before that. Bowing is an act of expressing courtesy, acknowledgment, submission and humility before the One who created you from nothing. If you ever have to bow to someone or something it should be only to God and noone else. What's wrong with that?

[Sammer1111]

Think about it, your whole life in dependent on God so bowing before Him is the least thing you could do to show your appreciation. Washing your face, hands and feet has many benefits. It keeps you clean and healthy but more importantly it prepares you both spritually and physically to pray to your Lord. I don't think you'd have any problem washing yourself before going to a party so why do you think it's a problem when coming to God? It doesn't make any sense. May God guide you to the truth.

[Sammer1111]

Who was talking about deleting your videos??? Can't you even read English?

and btw I've already watched zeitgeist and agree with many parts of it :)

[Sammer1111]

look kid, if you want to be taken seriously you have to come up with better comments, now go back and play with your nintendo or whatever. This is your last warning. If you continue to spew these kind of garbage I'll delete them...kapish?

[finaldestinyAllah]

May Allah Bless your Family and your works and deeds along with your faith brother you are truly a sincere man..

Great Work...

[falak010]

[Miniclip420]

Oh Allah increase our Knowledge. Ameen

[fghtupx]

Oh i wish it would have been 100 parts not just only 7. Thank you for posting this brother/sister.

[zafthedon]

Great video very helpful as i didnt know some of the things about the quran.

[yb600whp]

Hamza Yusuf should grow a full beard. just a suggestion.

[MeTyuoob]

He IS growing a full beard. For some people, the growth rate is slow.

[Alee869]

Mashallah, great lecture by Sheikh Hamza. Jazaak Allah khayran.

[BoilingTheKettle]

Alhamdulillah, yet another very informative speech by this great sheikh. May Allah protect him and may Allah reward you brother for putting this series up. JZK.

[Moeazy21]

i rely thank u for these 7 video i learned so much and clearified alot of question like how the quran is set up and who compiled it it makes me feel so seure to know itwas the caliphas who did it and not people who came after

[saeed82380]

first of all we don't bow to somebody that is worthless, like meny people do. many people bow to money, their desires and .... if you look at it this way every body is bowing to something/somebody. Secondly this way we are actually bowing to our real self. because we believe that we are created from God' soul. thirdly, if you bow to your god then you never bow to any other thing. that's the purpose behind all those actions

[Sammer1111]

No, stupid are people like you who make such stupid comments. Terrorsist are those who boast that they lead the so called "civilized and free world" while slaughtering millions of innocent people including their own.

[kissuss]

hamza yusuf is one of the very very very rare kind of man

may Allah give him the best things in this life and in the other.

[wehavejoy]

Jesus died for are sins!

Do you believe?

[iftyshifty]

If i rob a bank tomorrow and then stand up infront of a judge in a court of law and say that JESUS (Peace be upon him) died for my sin, what do you think they will do - send me to prison or let me off because Jesus PBUH died for my sin.

[neo171171]

Allah knows who are the best reciters. But I will say Muslims are all over the world not just in arabia :-).
