When I was a little girl living in Morocco, I burst in tear from humility “خشوع" because of my dad doing "ذكر" remembrance of God. Since then I fear and love Alah almighty. My Alah grants my dad and all humanity paradise.
Alhamdulillah
Aamin ya Rab thumma aamin ya Rab! Allahumma aamin! ❤❤❤
Ameen!
My goodness.. I felt like a child sitting beside the fireplace listening to good old people and their stories. MashAllah.. I feel so blessed to be alive to see this people walk this earth, with their soft and pure hearts. I love them so much for the sake of Allah. Their lights shines so bright, makes me feel a shamed of myself and the situation the world is in. There is so much dirt that the few "white" dots that can be seen is now considered to be stains, instead of saints. Once it was the opposite way around, it was the black dots that was easily recognized as stains, but now they have become the majority.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm so happy to be a part of this big family. My love and dua is for you all. May you all be blessed in this life and the hereafter with your loved ones. Amin.
I couldn't stop sobbing.... Just the fact that two slaves of Allah ... Are conversing with each other , about the slaves of Allah..... ✨Human conversation ✨... subhanAllah.... I can't explain why .. but I am just awestruck for this blessing from Allah.... to us all... kind of love Allah has for his slaves... Ways of healing our souls.... JazakAllahu Khairan..... May Allah bless your existence in this world and the hereafter...... 🤲 Remember us all in your prayers .
Ameen

@@merlinx8703 how you know him?
ইসলাম শিখ? কি শিখলা এই লোকের কাছে? এরা হচ্ছে দেশের আব্বাসী দের ইংরাজি আর ভদ্র ভার্শন। ইসলাম শিখবা কোরআন,সুন্নাহ থেকে।এইসব লোকদের কাছে না।মজাদার স্টাইল,হাই ক্লাস ইংরাজি,আর হাইফাই স্টাইলের ঠেলায় ইসলাম চলে না।
. Why you consider similarity? Islam is based on esoteric knowledge. Need a teacher. My head is beneath of Hazrat hamza Yusuf's foot.
@@faysalkabir3224 i hope he doesn’t step on it.typical subcontinentals
I can't wrap my head around that after listening to the soft oration of
Sheikh Hamza Yusuf, how the people of other faith not take Shahada
and enter into Islam. May Allah SWT guide them to know and understand the Truth, Haq.
Ameen
Jasads everywhere, my brother.
The fitrah has been slowly but surely eroding in today's "humanity" and soon...it will be eradicated with the use of technology & transhumanism, ushering In a new era of "higher existence" which will promise the world "a 1000 years of peace".
999 out of every 1000 of that "higher existence" era & society of Jasads/Non-Fitrah people will be sent to the hellfire.
The reason: they repeated the same sin that our Father Adam (عليه السلام) committed in Jannah/Heaven.
Remember: Actions are judged by their intention.
What was the intention of our Father Adam (عليه السلام)?
Do your research and you will find the answer insha'Allah.

What a big delight to see a recent interview of our Chaykh, it made my day!
I really enjoyed the whole talk, gleaned a lot of insights. May Allah bless you both Sheikh Hamza and Haroun and all who contributed in arranging this meeting and may Allah forgive and have mercy upon all believing men and women, the dead and the alive and Sala Allaho 3ala sayidina mohamed wa 3ala Alehi wa sahbihi Ajma3in🤲
Watching from London, England ❤
I am a mother from Gaza and I have orphaned children. We have no one after God. My husband died years ago and there is no one for us after God. I have a lot to do in life, but time is running out for me and my kids. Please stand by my son. The doctor told me that the child wants the operation on his eyes as soon as possible, but I have nothing to attribute to the operation. The doctor said that the operation costs, but I have nothing for the operation, please. I hope my brothers don't forget me about this
Even by God, most of the time, there is nothing in the house, no food or drink, alhamdulillah

Mashaallah may Allah helps you
MashaAllah, may Allah bless everyone involved in this great work.
I just wished to clarify one thing. I think the sister who asked the first question was missunderstood by our noble mashaa'ikh. Perhaps she didn't phrase it clearly enough or perhaps it was too philosophical. But I think I got her point. The sister was trying to say, that in the past, in traditional societies including islamic one the emphasis was put more on sincerity in the sense of arabic IKHLAS which means that it doesn't matter who you are as individual, what matters is that you are honestly and genuinely intending to improve yourself through a particular action despite your great sins and mistakes and weaknesses. So it's more about your WILL rather than your current emotional state. Thats why she said "feelings come out of sincerity" So you could say that someone sincerely regretted his mistake. Or that he sincerely wants to be a good muslim by doing X.
While "authenticity" seems to put more emphasis on the subject as he is given/appears to himself, it's more ego-centric and egoistic in a sense. its about nafs. That's why we have those slogans in commercials "Be yourself" or "Just DO IT" or this whole idea of body-positivity (no matter that you are overweight 100 kg, just accept yourself!). So for example to be authentic is to act based on your feelings and intuitions rather than based on moral principles and idea of purifying your hearth. This whole idea of "express yourself!". Since when everyone has something valuable to express? What about good old silence and being quiet and humble for example? Thats why she said that "authenticity comes out of feelings"
So essentially the sister made a very good remark and I guess she just wanted the sheikh to comment on that briefly, maybe speculate a bit where does that shift come from and why. I personally think it's part of the capitalistic rhethoric, because an individual who is sincere is a bad consumer. He doesn't buy much, focuses on his spiritual growth and becoming a better person, he doesnt need to express him/herself bcs he knows that its way better to listen rather than to speak. he doesnt eat much, because he sincerily wants to repent by fasting etc. While someone who is AUTHENTIC has a need of constantly expressing his valuable NAFS in a form of impulsive consumption. "Today you have apetite for bucket of ice cream? Go ahead! be authentic, don't lie to yourself! You love icecream don't you? Tomorrow you feel like visiting a brothel? Nothing wrong about it! Don't pretend you are a saint! It's not prostitution anymore, it's called "sexworking" now! No need to feel shame!"
Ameen Ya Rabb.
I love this man Hamza for the sake of Allah
Ya Rab 🤲
May Allah bless Zaytuna College. May Allah grant those running it with ikhlaas, tawfeeq and unity.
May Allah bless this institution and make it a beacon of light that will enlighten hearts and minds to the last day. May Allah bless Sheikh Hamza and all the teachers including sheikh Zaid Shakir with sincerity and with good health
❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
To Zaytuna staff - please ask Shaykh Hamza to produce all the qasidas of Shaykh ibn al-Habib into a CD or some kind of digital production. May Allah reward you all.
He can't because of the Hypicrites that surround it. So just titbits here and there...
❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much for this conversation. I utterly enjoyed it.

Beautiful very interesting. Other saints I admire are Allamah Tabatabai and Imam Ruhullah Khomeini (both have written and taught amazing works on spirituality and self purification)
…wondering… was Shaykh Abdalqadir As-Sufi included in the book series? I did not see his photo in this video presentation.
Salaam. What is the dua the Shaykh says in minute 01:42:15? Thanks!
أعوذ بكلمات ألله التامات من شر ما خلق.
بسم الله الذي لا يضر مع إسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء وهو السميع العليم
@@khalidsaadat7476 Many thanks!
Shaykh humza yousaf is a beautiful and an extrodinary human truly a blessing for the forsaken a true scholar and god fearing human
I would love to meet him or be his diciple and would like him to make dua for my mother and be under his tutaledge i love for the of allah
Sh. Hamza, what about Musa ﷺ and Haroon ﷺ as a duo against the pharaonic forces; what about the three messengers enforced by each other against the mob (mentioned in Surat Yaseen)?
Does anyone know what Shaykh Hamza Yusuf mentions to say three times in the morning and evening at 1:142:16?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
In the Name of Allah with Whose Name nothing in the earth or in the heaven can cause harm and he is the All-Hearing and All-Knowing.
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
“I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of that which He has created.”
To read 3 times.
@@seekeroftheway6282thank you!
Who was the sufi Abdullah that the sheikh was referring to please?
Sufi Abdullah Khan was a wonderful community leader from Birmingham in the United Kingdom who emigrated from Pakistan and established a vibrant community in the industrial heartland of Britain. He was a towering figure who passed away in 2015. His biography is included in the Exemplars series.
@@michaelsugich7963 ahh from Gamgol Shareef. MashaAllah. Did u ever visit Sheikh Sufi Muhammad Aslam RA from Blackburn
@@hhh-ib3ex Alas, no.
@@michaelsugich7963 salamulaikum what was the dua of the sheikh hamad amr al wali of Al Ain. Can somebody write down?
Asalamualaikum,
How can I purchase this collection?
It can be ordered from the Zaytuna College Bookstore: bookstore.zaytuna.edu/products/exemplars-for-our-time
she is so beautiful radiating Mashallah!
Brother Michael backbit the scholar he was mentioning that he stayed with “and I have to say he wasn’t that friendly.”
Is their a way that can be edited out to not further the spread of it for his sake?
And linden Johnson as well spending the time on his biography.
Thank you for pointing this out. I stand corrected. He was a very great scholar and a great man of God. Making that observation about Shaykh ‘Abdullah al-Ghumari in public was inappropriate. Thank you. We are planning to publish his biography next year. He had an extraordinary life.
However, I make no apologies for Lyndon😊 Johnson.
Inshallah, let's hope friendliness was not part of Shayhk Ghumari's aspirations for himself. And as far as Lynden Johnson goes the rules of geeba don't apply to non Muslims. Wa Salaam.
Should say In the name of Allah ( instead of God )
Shaykh Yusuf, Insha’Allah I would like to be apart of the book club you mentioned
