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.

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!

To read the tafseer (commentary and explanation of the Quran) by Mufti Muhammad Shafi'i (Mufti Taqi Uthmani's father), Ma'ariful Quran, visit: http://www.islamibayanaat.com/EMQ.htm (the link for Maariful Quran English tafsir)
It is arguably the best tafsir in English.

it's a pleasure to hear that man speak....subhanallah...we really need more people like him. I would so like to meet him..

[hamzah938]

@urheadonastick O.K., but besides all that you said , what is it specifically that you dislike about him?

[itsoutahere]

"Oh Israel the Lord (our) GOD is ONE". That was the words of Jesus in the Bible. the Key word here is (OUR) it indicates that Jesus has a GOD too. Islam is the trueth.

[fruko1980]

My religion does not say "turn the other cheek" and then perpetrate the Inquisition, the Iraq War, Hiroshima.My religion does not tolerate hypocrites.My religion is the natural religion, the way of the middle.Look at your civilization now.The Christians who used to self-flagellate at mountain tops and deny themselves soap, now perform in pornography for $1000 a movie. From one extreme to another! Christians are the extremists, always have been and always will be.Your religion breeds resentment.

@jamool2009 Relative to the world population (allowed to grow through advances by western society) the 20th century was the least bloody century to date. Also, by "this inhumanity", do you mean the enourmous amounts of foreign aid western nations provide? Something many large muslim nations gladly accept. GTFO troll.

[jamool2009]

@calypspoetryguy The West has given us also WARS, colonization for domination, economic exploitation and fragmentation of Muslim Ummah since their WWI. And all of that created their Red Cross (symbol of their destructive religion) and the rest of their shadowy organizations. Don't be naive, their motto: there is no free lunch.

[jamool2009]

@tanekki Last century, as a Western century, was the BLOODIEST, most destructive period in human history. And still more sufferings to come from this inhumane, secularist West.

@Superfluffyfish Free speech? Hurting other ppls. Feelings just to claim your free speech? Do you understand the 1st amendment? WHat your doing is counter Freedoms in the constitution. Insulting a persons religion. What if someone took a picture of your family member and posted all over the net.......w/alterations of course. It wouldn't feel so nice would it. Unfortunately, I was once like you. I regret it very much today. Learn what empathy means. Read the constitution too.

peace/Salam

This is the prophet Muhammad.

The edifice of modern science and scientific method is one of Western mans greatest gifts to the world. The West has given us not only every scientific discovery of the last 500 yrs, from electricity to computers, but also, thanks to its humanitarian impulses, the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, & Amnesty International. The West provides the bulk of aid to beleaguered Darfur; Islamic countries are conspicuous by their lack of assistance. The Secular west helps Muslims!

Tbh, the threat comes from muslims more often than the other way around as it stands today. Sadly.
