Join the halaqa and take part in this discussion about the basic objectives of Islamic law. In the mountains of Northern New Mexico at the world famous Abiquiu Madressah, Hamza Yusuf elaborates on the six elements that shari'ah seeks to preserve in society. Part of the widely popular Deen Intensive program, this session is an opportunity to see a unique side of Imam Hamza within the context of an informal and interactive study group. After a comprehensive look at how shari'ah preserves the deen, this session covers five other areas: the preservation of life, lineage, wealth, intellect and honor. Other topics discussed: religion vs. ritual, the power of superstition, morality, the permissibility of adoption, changing one's name upon converting to Islam, punishment for theft and adultery, public/private education, and extremism. (Duration: 1 hour, 47 min)

@BGfromGB Likewise with Islam... we have many "Muslims" but very few PRACTICE their religion, especially the so-called "leaders" and "presidents" of entire nations! So why are you not willing to apply the same logic to radical/deviant/deranged "Muslims" that you do with radical/deviant/deranged "Christians"??

Why is that in Christianity the highest form of worship was to abstain from worldly things? Monks in monasteries would make it a life commitment to isolate themselves and segregate their lives in sacrifice to their desires FOR the pleasure of God. Similarly Nuns would never marry and adorn themselves just as the Muslim women would! If this is deemed as something righteous by Paul then you have no basis to criticise Islam at all.

Modesty is righteousness and abstinence is Humility

When exactly was this lecture, just out of curiosity?

Sh Hamza mentioned a scholar called *blank* Hajj: can someone fill in the blank?

[rawhiyahjani2009]

@romm95 Who were the external enemies? What "law" are you taslking about? Mohammed's law?

[romm95]

@BGfromGB

The Muslims in Madina had a written contract with the tribe of israel in Madina. They broke the contract by helping the external (not living in Madina) enemies of the Muslims. For this they were punished. Under any law this is justified if you break a contract knowingly and you try to destroy the other party in the contract when you have agreed to work together with them.

@MrGrandDragon

@BGfromGB

Who says Cat Stevens is an exception? There are many who follow Sufi orders and play certain instruments which they deem are permissible in the fold of Islam. In general however the usage of instruments is limited and even forbidden in more dominant traditional schools of thought.

I do not find women adorning the Hijab to be repulsive or oppressive, rather I find the current trend of "fashion" to be sad. Its hard to differentiate between prostitutes and normal women these days.
