Mindblowing, also the part about Dante, here in Italy where I study, I never heard about that, and I swear that the layers of the paradise reminded me about islam, but it was so hard even to think the inspiration came from Islam. My friends we should support strongly and heavily the CMC it is a research center that relive some of our dignity. Sheik Abdal Hakim Murad is an Umma treasure, if we don't support our عولاما we really deserve to be seen as Barbars.
Thank you for this profound and deeply moving reflection on Parsifal. I haven't heard anything even close to this level of analysis since my attendance at Bayreuth in 1997, when a guest lecturer from Seattle Opera presented his lectures. He too saw a "glimpse" of what lay behind the surface of opera. As a fellow lover of opera and classical music, I do hope you'll consider offering similar reflections in the future. I'd love to hear you speak on Verdi's, Don Carlo, Il Trittico from Puccini or Les Dialogues des Carmélites from Poulenc, or anything from Bach and Mozart. Your spiritual insights into both story and music benefit us all, especially at a time when secularization has divorced our hearts from the spiritual guidance and symbolism Allah/God lovingly hid for us among the Arts to lead us to Him. Thank you again for awakening my heart to God.
So much knowledge, Connecting the discourse with so many disciplines and Abrahamic paradigms. Indeed we all need such scholars but the beauty of creation is that no one can become like the sheikh and every one has their own light and every one shines in their own light. May Allah have mercy upon us all and bless the sheikh with good health and many more years to en-light us with his knowledge and great insights.
may Allah reward you brother.
I am learning a lot and hoping more and more people discover this wonderful lecture along with the other ones provided by Cambridge Muslim College!
sir MURAD, i love you and tank you for this mesage, may Allah reward you.
He hasn't been knighted.
Mushtaqur Rahman I don’t believe he said it as a formal title (seeing as it is in lowercase letters) , but rather as a mark of respect, similar to as one would address their teacher
@@MAli-br7lo it was a joke, but never mind.
Interesting to know your knowledge about our state, love from Kerala dear Shaykh.
Eid Mubarak! Thank you very much for this and the last several days of programming.
كل عام وانتم بخير
I have learnt so much in the past few days. If only I had this knowledge before I performed my Haj 30 years ago. Allah bless you all
Ameen. Eid Mubarak to all of you 🎉🎈🌹
Hope you're doing fine, Sir by the Grace of Allah! ❤
thank you so much for drooping these jewels i love the casual comforting format in your lectures ...discussions
Me too find it so amazing
A very unique lecture; so many distinct topics brought together with great cohesiveness. Mashallah Sheikh Abdal Murad explains things so beautifully and with such depth it's amazing.
Many thanks, Professor Murad for this inspiring and heart-warming lecture. May Allah grant you baraqat, quwat, qudrat, and nimat. I think you are one of those spirits that are making Europe a native Muslim home. Your brightness is light!
Magnificent! Stupendous. And such a beautiful telling of the Parsifal story. Thank you respected Sheikh Abdal Hakim. May your light increase. Ameen.
جزاك الله خير- jazaka allah khayer -God bless you
May Allah Mighty and Majestic reward and preserve you, and give you the best in this life and the Hereafter, Ameen!
@@AstroClownBuster we have been given free will to think or imagine what we want, until we are dead. Then we will have a chat across the barrier between Paradise and Hellfire, after we get through the horror of the day of Judgement. Until then we can be as deluded as we wish, under the influence of the Devil.
@@AstroClownBuster don't worry we have the last revelation from God Almighty, and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was the Last Messenger to the World. He peace be upon him prophesied return of Jesus peace be upon him. So let us wait and see who Jesus peace be upon him will follow.
@@AstroClownBuster it's a great thing to have you around. It means that Shaykh Winter is a hell of a teacher and whoever paid you to be here is afraid of his energy and inner power. You being here is the very proof of what the amazing words of this man can trigger. Thank u for being here
Ensha’Allah we can make our umrah
Wisdom is drawn from a well within and Shaykh RA has an endless supply from which he draws liberally, alhumdulillah
Mashallah Tabarak Allah. Very interesting lecture, I have learned a lot. Sheikh Abdul Hakim Always amazes us with his knowledge and his way of giving his lectures. I didn't know who Wagner is it anything about him until this day. It always breaks my heart when I remember all the books and knowledge in Al Andalus and Baghdad have been burnt and lost. But it's all Allah's wisdom and it could be mercy, who knows.
What a great story, full of lessons. I listened to it attentively, a great reminder. May Allah clear our minds , clean our hearts, grant us understanding, guide us to the right path.💕

WOW. Masyallah, who would have thought....Wagner and Hajj. Thank you for making Islam so accessible to culture-vultures like me. Really appreciate your profound session and the other CMC videos from the Fifth pillar series. I learnt so much each time and feel very grateful. I would love to hear more Western ideas that indirectly came from Islamic tradition. It'll be interesting to hear/look/study a series in this context. Amin Ya Raab.
I think you might want to listen to the lecture again, because I don't think he's making any direct links and is making an interpretation. It's somewhat whimsical.
Jazakallah khair, this is incredible
Enlightening, thank you
Eid Mubarak from the dunya
اللهم صل وسلم على سيدنا ومولانا محمد عبدك ورسولك النبي الأمي وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم تسليما كثيرا
Happy Eid el Adha from MoverLand with LOVe as always, yaaaay...!!! 🦋😁👍
Please, pray that in the future I might work either with you or your writings
Beautiful Information
As SalamuAlaikum!☝🙏🙌
Interesting perspective on Wagner's Opera🎼🎶🎭 "Parsifal". The new insights of having Sufi ideations💡 and a correlation with the Muslim Pilgrimage, (Hajj)🕋🕊 gives this powerful, spiritual and psychological evocative Opera🎼🎭 new depth and meaning for me! Interpretations can vary, however, on Wagner Opera, "Parsifal", as Wagner's last Opera, it's a worthy piece for his, ironic, "(like in Act I), "Swan song"!
Parsifal is based on the Medieval🐎🗡 Epic Poem by Wolfram Von Eschenbach and is a German🇩🇪 version of Arthurian🗡 Mythology.
My first study📚 of this brilliant Opera🎼 revealed it's symbology, which reflected also some elements of the Philosophy of Schopenhauer,(on renunciation) Buddhism,(on Kundry's reincarnations) and now with Shaykh Murad's Muslim perspective, on Islamic Sufi Ideations💡(on Parcifal's Pilgrimage towards enlightenment),💡as well as Wagner's Racial Theory(on the problem of regenerating a decadent Culture) and championing the Heroism and Chivalry of the Old German🇩🇪 Teutonic Knights to save the World!🌎 As well as Wagner's White Aryan Supremacy ideations, which incidentally, was later corrupted, reinterpreted and a major influence on the later Nazi ideology and Adolph Hitler's Germany🇩🇪✋!
Thanks for posting such a thought provoking lecture on a Classic piece of Music🎼🎶 and Culture!🎭🎨
Jizak Allah Kharun!☝🙏🙌✌👍🕋🕊
When meeting the sparrow
bow your head wholeheartedly
say: Peace be upon you
and walk softly around it.
When meeting the wild swan
put down your bow and arrow
say: May Allah reward you
and let it take to the air.
When meeting the lame woman
do not be betrayed by her
say: To Allah we belong
and follow the straight path.
When meeting the sinner
tend to his wounded heart
say: Repent to Allah sincerely
and help him on his journey.
When meeting the mother
lay upon her loving bossom
say: Shall I not be a grateful slave?
and she will kiss your brow.
f.c.v.
Salaamualaekum, New Comer here 😇
awesome

MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL GET TO MEET YOU, SIR
I enjoy your talks a lot! What are your thoughts about "illumination" or Suhrawardi's Hikmat al-Ishraq or Mulla Sudra
Wagner the student of Nietzsche? Nietzsche was in fact the "student" of Wagner until their break in 1874. Nietzsche's first book, The Birth of Tragedy, was based on conversation that he had had with Wagner on Greek tragedy. It was presented by Nietzsche to Cosima Wagner as a birthday present. Wagner even had the young professor running menial errands for him from his home in Lucerne. Both Wagner and Nietzsche were disciples of Schopenhauer, who taught that compassion is the basis of ethics. It was only _after_ Nietzsche broke with Wagner and Schopenhauer that he developed the atrocious proto-postmodern philosophy of the will to power that we associate with his name today. Wagner, as a Schopenhauerian, also believed in compassion as the basis of ethics, and he even subscribed to vegetarianism, anti-vivisection and anti-militarism (he despised Bismarck).
@mind But Wagner wasn’t familiar with Nietzsche’s writings, aside from The Birth of Tragedy. When Wagner was alive German Nationalism was a necessary part of the unification of the German kingdoms and principalities. It’s often forgotten that nationalism was originally a leftist romantic movement, not a conservative movement.
@mind Nietzsche and Wagner were not really friends. There was a significant age gap between them and by the time they met Wagner was widely considered the greatest musician in Europe, whereas Nietzsche was in his twenties. The only really significant book that Nietzsche had written before their split in 1874 was The Birth of Tragedy, which was inspired by Wagner. Nietzsche was openly hostile to Wagner after the split and Nietzsche rejected Wagner’s Schopenhauerianism.
As for nationalism: it was an early Romantic movement. Consult any book on German Romanticism to verify that. Wagner was never a conservative political thinker; he was always on the left. He was a Young Hegelian and has much in common with the early Marx, although unlike Marx he actually participated in an attempted revolution at the Dresden uprising in 1848.
Salam, I am scheduling talks for our Ramadan radio station in Milton Keynes and wondering if i'm ok to add these talks to our playlist?

I think this is a fascinating interpretation of Wagner's Parsifal; but it is perhaps worth pointing out that Abdal Hakim Murad is mistaken about some of the details. (1) Wagner was not a "student of Nietzsche"; in fact, Wagner and Nietzsche were both Schopenhauerians until Nietzsche rejected this philosophy of the denial of the will in favour of his affirmation of the will. Nietzsche described Wagner as "the greatest benefactor of my life". (2) While outwardly Wagner's Ring cycle refers to Pagan gods, such as Wotan and Fricka, it is not affirming paganism; in fact the Ring is partly about the downfall of these "gods". The most heroic figures in the Ring are those who defy the "gods", such as Siegmund, Sieglinde, Brunnhilde and Siegfried. The Ring is on the side of the poor and the oppressed against the rich oppressors; and it affirms love as its highest value. The heroes and heroines of the drama die as a consequence of loving in a loveless world. I think this is more Christian than pagan. (3) Nietzsche, Lucy Beckett, and Richard Bell, inter alia, argue that Parsifal is a Christian work. Wagner's relationship to Christianity is complex; but it is possible to see him as a liberal Christian. He almost composed an opera called "Jesus of Nazareth". He had the complete works of Martin Luther and discussed these writings with Cosima Wagner, his wife.
We truly don't care as long as it's wisdom reaching us.
@@TheMuyeed I care about truth.
Ignore the person above - I certainly do care. Have you considered emailing him about these details, Michael? He might be interested (for future discussions/lectures).
I think Abdul hakim Murad is showing the Islamic influence and the similarities with hajj and the story of Wagner, a person one wouldn’t think was influenced or inspired by Islam/hajj. To be honest due to this lecture I’m going to check out Parsifal, Which I also think is what the sheikh is nudging at.
@@30251 Salam. Yes, I have written to him about Parsifal, but not about what I wrote above. I asked him if this is his own thesis or one he derived from elsewhere. Apparently, Roger Scruton writes about the black stone's connection to the Graal in his book on Parsifal. I did some research and discovered that a Sufi Shaykh has written about Parsifal as well.
please praye for my against Gomes .Belo mafia
The Shroud of Turin says it all!
Jesus rose from death and is alive!
Its fake officially
n y
Totally wrong, it is now known that the sample that was carbon dated was a cloth patch used to repair the Shroud after a fire that nearly destroyed it. The patch was correctly carbon dated!
..the German accent I think I have a pretty good British one lol
I thought it was really significant when Sheikh mentioned that dunya can cleanse us if it becomes subservient to us. In other words, by having mastery over the dunya we are able to reach God.
And it is really poignant that there is a male/female dynamic between us and dunya. It means whether you are a man or a woman, you must have masculine qualities when dealing with dunya like courage or futuwwa.
The irony of mentioning the convert (barrister), whose secular life had "alcohol and dogs in the home", while also lauding Ingrid Mattson, who has a dog in her house, is clanging! Also, what is this obsession with royalty, why is it deemed holy? Monty Python was excellent in puncturing the pomposity prevalent in much of this Western religious discourse and culture, especially in The Life of Brian, eg the holy slipper reminded me of the fight for some garment of Nuh Keller. There is also this desire to link "high" European culture to Islam. One has to ask why, given that some of this is tenuous, and also problematic when we are talking of racists such as Wagner. Wagner and the Grail did come together to good effect in Excalibur, but that's about it. Ah, forgot to mention Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now.
In fact, forget Parsifal and feast on John Boorman's stupendous retelling of the Arthurian legend, Excalibur. It has music from Wagner, including Parsifal, but the best is Carl Orff's Carmina Burana.
i love ALLAH but i won't kiss a stone ...
@jay oh are you being sarcastic :/
You don't have to kiss it. As the Shaykh says, you probably won't even get the chance - it's extremely packed!
Pondering Spirit if Allah love the stone I will love the stone but I won’t kiss it :)
jay oh ...... And jay oh who do you think you are and who gave you the right to say that about the creator ....shame on you
@jay oh jesus fell down on his face and prayed to god jesus cried on the cross to god to save him jesus said only the father knows the hour jesus said the father sent me to tell you only worship the father you misunderstand the bible you should read it again
