    Catholics and Muslims have a lot in common due to what I think is their similar sense of self-accountability, mere belief alone NOT being enough for salvation in the hereafter. May Allah ﷻ guide this Catholic brother in humanity and perfect His favor upon Him in Islam!😊

      Ameen ya rabb. I converted to Islam from Catholicism in my late 30s. The fitra inside me knew from a young age that there is only 1 god, but it took me several decades to discover the truth InshaAllah those who are guided will answer the call of Islam. There is so much about Islam that felt familiar to me having grown up in Catholicism.

    This conversation of both scholars of faith shows the share values that we have in our faiths. It's important for us to see how our scholars interact with each other. It opens door for good Conversation, respect and it removes the red tape that has been put by the ignorant to separate one from another. Only through such conversation we can bring the changes that can serve our faith and our societies. Thank you for sharing such valuable Conversation. May Allah guide us all on the straight path.

    I'm so delighted to see and feel the joy and purity WITHIN the space between all of these external shells we call religion....for The Way, The Path....is One. Perhaps it is the real way forward, for those of the Light, as our world becomes increasingly lost. Alhamdulillah. Perhaps in the external oppression, the core within our faith is being found for some. (I have great respect for the holiness deep within Judaism, Islam and Christianity....It is there. It is there, for those throughout history -seen and unseen- have become it.) May those who seek, find. And may Allah guide.

    Wow I cannot tell you how long I’ve waited for something like this to come out… Sheikh Hamza sitting down with other religious leaders from other faiths and bridging the very necessary gaps through these kinds of open and honest discussions that represent unity ,similarity as opposed to division and separation… this is amazing … I’m so thankful to Zaytuna College for creating such platforms and I await to see many more discussions that help bring clarity and provide free education to the public on all of the religions which at the end of the day all speak to One ☝🏽 God , One Universal Force that guides this universe . Each one does so in their own unique way …
    I can’t wait for the day where i have my financial freedom so that I can give and support platforms like yours that spread unconditional love and support and help clear the misguided and misrepresented view that currently exists within our modern day culture.

    Good video.
    I'm saying this as a muslim, but Hamza should have let the Rabbi talk more.
    He interrupted him alot of times, and was a bit more focused on saying what he wanted to say, instead of hearing what the rabbi had to say.
    Otherwise, a very wise and knowledgeable input from both sides.

    I believe a fundamental problem in Western Society, and it’s quickly being exported to Eastern societies, is the unbalanced over-empowerment of the youth. We’ve handed them the reigns rather than teaching them to take responsibility for their opinions and educating them in the subject of Value, on a personal level and on all the societal levels, (yes, the habits that maintain society).
    We are letting children follow children and youth follow criminals. I was the first generation of children that teachers first empowered, (early 1970s), and being given that power to speak up was not supported with guidance nor wisdom, rather we were used to validate the sexual revolution, and the cultural revolution THEY wanted, and now our children and grandchildren are drowning in the cesspool we espoused without ANY knowledge of what our life is really about.
    Not only did they teach us that God is fantasy, they taught us we were Gods ourselves, able to manifest destiny. Look at what we manifested!!! Utter ruin of our family unit.
    I was taught woman’s place was not stuck in the home. I was taught a housewife was a pathetic looser, a slave. It cost me everything when I lost it all trying to be a superwoman. I started to wake up after loosing everything. Now I’m a housewife again, raising another set of children and helping my husband in HIS business. I don’t need titles or degrees or status from outside; to be the backbone of my family, I just need love and respect from them.

    Great conversation and I am truly grateful for this series…..wonderful way to self reflect on areas I can improve. Interesting to see Rabbi Learner’s clear beliefs in Postmodern Neo-Marxist ideology seep through his world/religious view and colour his perceptions. Fascinating to see this corrosive way of thinking manifest in so many areas of modern society since the late 70s and accelerating so fast the last 7-10 years.

      As someone who works with him, it’s sad to see a comment like this from a Muslim. He prefers the masters to his own ideas. He also always teaches us to assume the best about others. Sometimes we project our own sicknesses onto others. My experience at Zaytuna is the opposite of your opinion. This was done as an interfaith project to show similarities between traditions. One would think you’d want to quote from those traditions. Many Muslim scholars wrote entire books quoting other scholars. Part of todays problem is everyone feels their own view is best. I think it’s a hadith about the end of time. Allah knows best.

    • @hamidh9637

      @@ufh2101 I've considered what you said (thank you) and re-read what I wrote and agree. I went too far in the wording and also wrote in haste :( I don't think it was a case of projecting own problem, but thanks for the candidness. I will try to retract it if possible. I do still feel there is a problem worth evaluating and considering. Especially after watching the discussion on Sloth. It was really good. I benefitted from the knowledge shared by the two. But I can't but notice something I think is worthy of reflection. I definitely do not want to pick faults and apologize if it comes out that way. It's like a family member trying to help our larger family grow and get better through one small conversation at a time. In the Sloth dialogue, Shaykh refers to Eva Bran multiple times as being a Master to him and he the student. It also came across that way. Interesting that she was asking the questions (tho they were questions only for reflection to awaken a better understanding) while Shaykh would just immediately answer each one with his conviction or those of other scholars. I don't recall him asking Eva any questions and at the end it appeared (reading deeper) a beautiful thing happened (whether intentional or not I don't know) but she in an elegant way seemed to show that too much talking on the pulpit, being dogmatic, or being too opposite of Sloth busy was not a good thing. Anyhow, very interesting. This is not my expertise and I know basically nothing. I am so so so glad Alhamdulillah there is something like Zaytuna in North America. God bless and guide its leaders and students and all of us iA.

    When Allah teala asked our prophet alaihe salam if he wanted to be ‘a king prophet’ or ‘a slave prophet’, our beloved prophet alaihe salam answered ‘a slave prophet’.
    He salallahu alaihe we salam, he had the greatest knowledge for Allah.
