You are right, life isn't just transactional, lol. The University I attended for summer class is having a lecture on whether Pakistan's relationship with the U.S. is just transactional, but it just speaks to how people view the concept of justice, a concept so fundamental to international relations.
Next to South Asia, African countries are the most vulnerable. Pakistanis might look rich if you look at the upper middle class and above, but there is severe poverty.
i just ...... love you hamza... i dont know what to say about all your speeches. it has become part of my life. i am so depressed living in the states. but when i feel like crying, i listen to you and you cheer me up. you are just wonderful. god bless you my brother.
we are very proud of Hamza Yusef because he presents the real image of Islam in order to remove this misunderstanding and shows the west that Islam is a religion of peace unlike what their media says about Islam
@Flaco1941 He's not promoting Sufism, for God's sake - he's a Sunni Muslim of Maliki madhab! You're portraying him as someone bad. But you're unaware of how progressive it is for a thinker and scholar like him to be representing the Muslim community in general on media rather than you nonchalantly spreading fitnah. Our community needs someone who thinks, spreads dawah and being beneficial to us, not going around backbiting. Or slandering for that matter. Beware of Allah's accountability.
@musa78692 I disagree with the term "American Islam". Even, shaikh Hamza Yusuf would disagree. But I do agree with "American Muslims". Islam's for everyone, not only for you and your people.
Hamza yusuf should run for the next president of US... he would clean the whole of the humanity in the united states.. May allah bless this man 10 million times, mashyallah.. inshyalla may allah (saw) make the muslims strong again and bring them back to reality to rightouesness and good willing.... ameen
Subhanallah, what an amazing speech . I'm ashamed as a muslim that we're so lost and divided and our moral fibers are thining out. Hamza is the equivalent of Salahadin in academics of islam. Hamza is doing his part, what good deed do we have to show to Allah when we die?
Shaykh Yusuf's speech has changed. Previously he had too much love for the US and the US citizen's. Now its more realistic! It could be due to the market crash and everyone has seen the 'mighty' US tumble. It's clearer that there is One who is Mightier that the mightiest!!
This is the same guy who clappped for President B u s h and he mistranslates words to please people. Be wary of this guy and don't believe everything he says. Peace
@Flaco1941 nigga shut up and go do something useful with your life. dont be hatin on this righteous brother. how about u man up and do something for the community rather than stating your worthless opinion
@Flaco1941 No he doesn't mistranslate you just don't agree with his translation and he tried to prevent war when he met with Bush and afterwards spoke out against him! so shut up!
@sonofJurell Hamza Yusuf is a sufi. I don't trust him and I don't recognize him and sufism is not my religion; Islam is. I follow the Quran and Sunnah. Who is Hamza Useless >? This guy has become a celeberty.
@Flaco1941 this really shows you to be a fool. i don't care about Sufism or that or this. they are all Muslims. but for you to Mock this Guy shows you be a real fool. one of the most Gifted Scholars in the public arena. You should not be so arrogant.
you should really study your deen more, that's if you are a Muslim
@Flaco194 ~Hamza Yusuf is a Muslim .. Didnt the devil hate Adam (a Muslim) and the devil saw Adam as useless? Well he is of more benefit than Ur hate filled self any day~ he is sharing knowledge of Allah & His Messenger alay he Salat Allah~The day will come when U will regret Ur hateful words. i will be a witness against U & all who read Ur poisonous comment~Say a good word or remain silent~ How do U know Shaykh Hamza is not beloved to Allah?~ U R apparently jealous since U r not famous~im glad
@Flaco1941 I know him personally and he's sterling chap! So,I'm speaking from knowledge and you are not. I used to believe in the sort of Islam that you're promoting. Nejdi, spiritualless Islam, funded,backed and love by the CIA..I'm not worried about your 'sufism this,suffism that',like I said I used to follow the same thing until a grew a brain..hope the same happens to you..take care! salams
@Flaco1941 no one sais he is a phrophet! but he is a good muslim and he has had a great effect on my life and im sure he has also to others as well i met this brother a few times and most people because of my name say oh youra shia and judge me he did none ofthat he looks to help solve the problems of the ummah as a whole not promote secterian rubbish i personaly think he is a good person and the community is blessed to have a brother like him and siraj wahaj salam to all
@abususnontolitusum he knows very well the correct translation of the word, but his love and desire to please his people has caused him to alter some aspects of the religion of ALLAH. How ever brother i advise my self to take from the people that which is beneficial and is according to the sunnah and leave the rest, as ibn al qayam said, "i take from every garden the best flower"
@1MrSpider Thanks for sharing your knowledge, especially the quote from ibn al-qayam. I really enjoy reading the great scholars of the past who were fearless, knowledgeable and full of 'hikmah'...just like one of them said, 'the absence of knowledge on something does not mean a knowledge of its absence'..beautiful you'd say.
@abususnontolitusum Adh-Dhahabee in Siyar A’lam An-Nubala’ reports Al-Awza’ee as saying: “We used to joke and laugh, then when we became looked at as role models I was afraid that even smiling would not be suitable for us.” And Ibn Katheer says in Al-Bidayah Wan-Nihayah: “It is binding upon the scholar to be cautious of making faults and to avoid the prohibitions, for his shortcoming is being observed, the ignorant one ready to follow it.”
@1MrSpider Great!! Please how can I get these books? Also, have they been translated into English because the last time I enquired, they weren't. Al-Bidayah Wan-Nihaya I'm told is a very informative and edifying book. I just can't wait to have a copy. Please can you help?
MASHA ALLAH! May ALLAH swt bless them 4every little action they do.They r the EPITOME of the Muslim UMMAH! If only every Muslim took action 2what our capabilaties r.How many of us have luxeries like air conditioning,running water?Much less basic necessities like clothing,food,water.How about CLEAN CLOTHING,CLEAN FOOD-CLEAN WATER?SUBHANALLAH,YaALLAH have mercy on these people,our brothers in ISLAM &humanity.Our UMMAH is one of ACTION-what did u-I do lately?
