Secularism: The Greatest Challenge Facing Islam - Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Hanson:
Shaykh Hamza was born in Washington State to a Catholic father, a university professor of Humanities, and a Greek Orthodox mother, a graduate from the University of California at Berkeley and was raised in Northern California. In 1977, he became Muslim and subsequently traveled to the Muslim world and studied for ten years in the U. A. E., Saudi Arabia, as well as North and West Africa. He received teaching licenses in various Islamic subjects from several well-known scholars in various countries. After ten years of studies abroad, he returned to the USA and earned degrees in Religious Studies and Health Care. He has traveled all over the world giving talks on Islam. He also founded Zaytuna Institute which has established an international reputation for presenting a classical picture of Islam in the West and which is dedicated to the revival of traditional study methods and the sciences of Islam. Shaykh Hamza is the first American lecturer to teach in Morocco's prestigious and oldest University, the Qarawiyin in Fes. In addition, he has translated into modern English several classical Arabic traditional texts and poems. Shaykh Hamza currently resides in Northern California with his wife and five children.
Today, he is one of the most well-known white, American converts to and scholars of Islam.

to InshaAllah benefit through Shaykh Husain Abdul Sattar (University of Chicago Medical School graduate). At his website you can get his tafsir (commentary and explanation of the Qur'an) and hadith classes, as well as general talks he gives at probably mostly the Islamic Center of Chicago.
Please inform others, InshaAllah, and get ajar!

It is arguably the best tafsir in English.
