Sheik Hamza Yusuf, I love all of your series. I enjoy your conversation. I have been your follower for a long time; I've been your seminar with silicon Valley Islamic school for some added reason, I thought you grew up in an Orthodox Christian home, and your father was a High Priest I believe someone told and something when you were young, you got in a car accident, something nature like that, and you saw a dream prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam and rescue the reason you converted to Islam. I was shocked when you said you grew up in a Catholic church. I enjoy all your Khutbah Islamic teaching as well. What you said is so very true about evil people. Some people pierce your heart. You can feel it in your core. Thank you, JazkumAllsh Kare, ❤️☝🏼
He grew up with both catholicism and Greek orthodoxy because his father was an Irish catholic and his mother a Greek woman, I believe he mentioned he leaned more to orthodoxy but was not really very devout in general as a Christian. His father was a professor in a university I think,, not a priest. You are correct that he got into a car accident as a young man and nearly died however i don't think he had a dream of the prophet sawas, from what I remember he said that the shocking experience of near death just made him deeply question his existence and purpose and that's what made him start looking into many religions, and he ended up connecting the most to Islam. Hope I helped clear things :)
@@fire.smok3 Wow, mashallah, thank you, jazakallah khair. it doesn't matter to me, to be perfectly honest; I love him for Allah swt his sake and have lots of respect for him
Hello Zaituna College! If Zaituna can conduct lectures on Imam Fakrudheen Razi and Imam Nawawi by Sheikh Hamza Yusuf, it would be great asset to the global Muslim Community.
This was a really interesting conversation. Whereas the other talks in these series seems to have come from shared sentiment and values, this seemed really oppositional although friendly. And Sheikh Hamza held up his own and even more. May Allah guide us all. Ameen.
Love for the shaikh and for the guest.. I had no idea who the guest is and I feel like I’ve missed much since I didn’t know her. Looking up her work now :D
Hamza Yusuf, “I once asked my father do you think we sign on the dotted line with the devil?” He said, “No it’s a long series of negotiations” What profound and wise words from his father.

@zaytuna - All of the other conversations in this series have been profoundly impactful and reality-shifting for me. this one however didn't quite hit the mark the same. I feel the professor comes from a place of scepticism from the very beginning. Her stated lack of belief also meant that there wasn't the shared platform of spiritual meaning and morality that gave the rest of the conversations so much depth. This was more a back and forth of curiosities, with tangential reference to the discussion at hand. I pray Dr Brann finds belief in the time she has left.
Great series. It would be better if the speakers spoke to each other on large screen (news room style). It feels impersonal watching humans speaking to a computer.
Death and his scythe will mow us all, so why waste precious time on toiling? Instead, try to cultivate Sloth’s higher forms: if ‘sin’ is lounging by the poolside, let’s begin! Tell those who question what your idling’s for: no slothful person ever starts a war. D.A. Prince
Ah, Sloth! Delicious! Where’s the ‘sin’ in that? I model Sloth’s perfection on the cat who stretches out (herself, and days) aware only of downiest cushions, softest chair, happy that when she’s ready food arrives. The sun smiles equally on he who strives and he who idles through the longest day. No one gets bathed in glory, making hay. Grasshopper, ant will both (as Aesop knew but didn’t labour) last the winter through. Death and his scythe will mow us all, so why waste precious time on toiling?

Were you ever in a rush where your doing a lot of movement but because your rushing your dropping things, tripping over your own feet lol..and so your doing things twice and by the time your done you have actually forgotten something important? so you havent really benefitted from all the movement, you put a lot of effort forward but you achieved little.. In the Quran it speaks of "the son of Adam, and him being in the constant state of haste" Excessive toil in the wrong direction and the opposite can be sloth ,not enough effort in the right direction? wasting time, effort or energy in a way that doesnt benefit because you waited to long or procrastinated your efforts..and even using sloth as the opposite of gluttony..waisting away to nothing, people that allow themselves to eat and throw it up to be skinny..or to force themselves to be a specific size ot of vanity, waisting away physically to nothing..

Completely agreed
Shout out to the production team and the editing team for making this whole conversation feel like a film! Good job!
Totally agree, a very engaging edit
God Bless this woman. She is so sweet. I am happy He spoke to her with patience respect and kindness for her position, wisdom, and age.

Sometimes people mistake hidden disability as sloth too. I love your talks very informative.
This was so lovely you could easily see the souls are connected..may allah bless them both
Its wonderful to see someone in their 90s still being so inquisitive and open minded like a young teenager
Wow, to be so lucid at the age of 94 as Ms. Brann is truly amazing.
I admire her mind. Thanks brother yusf for the nourishment of this conversation.
Love this series about the cardinal since, very edifying ❤
May Allah increase you in dunya and akhirah. I was filled with the conversation and happy now to remember it. Elhamdulilah
This was a beautiful conversation
I love this series, thank you Hamza! ❤
Indeed a conversation between Jordan Peterson & Hamza would certainly be epic.. or eckhart tolle!!
Love for the shaikh and for the guest.. I had no idea who the guest is and I feel like I’ve missed much since I didn’t know her. Looking up her work now :D
Hi-quality talk, thoughts & video art. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing this with the world.
Hamza Yusuf, “I once asked my father do you think we sign on the dotted line with the devil?” He said, “No it’s a long series of negotiations”
What profound and wise words from his father.
I would love to see a conversation of Hamza Yusuf and Jordan B Peterson.
With all my heart YES
Would be remarkable to have the conversation on a podium.
I can't tell which of them is which.

Wonderful conversation.
Courage To Be New
A great poem by Robert Frost,
I hear the world reciting
The mistakes of ancient men,
The brutality and fighting
They will never have again.
Heartbroken and disabled
In body and in mind
They renew talk of the fabled
Federation of Mankind.
But they're blessed with the acumen
To suspect the human trait
Was not the basest human
That made them militate.
They will tell you more as soon as
You tell them what to do
With their ever breaking newness
And their courage to be new.
Asalamalikum Ramadan mubarak. Just wanted to be first to wish you happy ramadan. Would love it if you could visit uk too.
Great talk Sheikh
Mashallah it's really nice how respectful Hamza Yusuf is

@45:55 Selfishness as a Virtue.
Love this series although this episode in particular didn't go deep into sloth .
It was more of a chit chat between sheikh Hamza and his friend.
Haha I thought the same, I did enjoy the video although.. I was honestly looking forward to this sin in particular
I am explaining this to a friend right now, I hope there will be more substance in the future.
Beautiful discussion but it didn't help me with the discussion of sloth. How to overcome it ect ect
جَزَاكَ ٱللَّٰهُ خَيْرًا 🌿
Brother translation is, May Allah reward you with goodness. I will
break it down with word meaning. Jaza means reward. Khair means
goodness.
Great series. It would be better if the speakers spoke to each other on large screen (news room style). It feels impersonal watching humans speaking to a computer.
Love this 📚🥰💝☕️
Death and his scythe will mow us all,
so why waste precious time on toiling?
Instead, try to cultivate Sloth’s higher forms:
if ‘sin’ is lounging by the poolside,
let’s begin!
Tell those who question what your idling’s for:
no slothful person ever starts a war.

Isnt this a reup?
It was uploaded on Renovatio first, I think.

What is the novel she recommended reading?
"The Raj Quartet" by Paul Scott
Is it just me or the whole video was about the lady saying, " What's the point? "😅
