Always a pleasure to listen to the knowledgeable shaykh, only Allah alone knows how many people have benefitted from his bayan’s.

May Allah bless, reward and preserve Shaykh Hamza for the ummah and may Allah bless and reward all the shuyukh

May Allah send his peace and blessings upon Rasool allah, the greatest of creation, the shadowless noor, the mercy to the worlds.

Salaam,

May Allah reward Sh. Hamza and make him a continued source of benefit to our community.

I must say, he did slip in an interesting notion of abrogation. He practically said “if it’s abrogated, why is in the Qur’an?” Hmmm.

Also, I appreciate his message about less complaining, more action, but his “this is America” rant ought to be taken with a grain of salt.

And as a Torontonian I am a bit doubtful that 10% of Toronto is Muslim.

husain
did you know that zaytuna college is being built and organized by pakistanis? and by immigrants. stop speaking negatively. you are not a sheikh and you have not studied nearly as much as sh hamza. if you disagree with him, ask him face to face. other than that, keep quiet, at least online. the damage you think he may be doing is of no comparison. please follow the sunnah yourself before typing again and speak positively only? do you truly think a man of his knowledge came to isb to criticize immigrants? he is surrounded by immigrants here in the bay area. do some research–it’s a pakistani and his indus friend starting up zaytuna college. sh hamza is only spiritual advisor which makes sense since he has more knowledge than anyone you are probably in touch with. why? he has studied nearly 30 years and possesses ijaaza. i love you my brother but i am worried for you–i dont think you’re able to sleep at night. please focus on your community, more especially, your well being as a muslim in the states and help your family. what he has done for the ummah, you will never do. read his books, and then tell me, do you think he is that bad? perhaps he ought to rearrange his words sometimes, as far as you’re concerned, but there is no concept of digital nor physical argumentation and hate in the tradition islamic culture. this messge of mine isnt to tell you what you are saying is right or wrong….it’s telling you to keep any negative to yourself, since you can’t be sure of it. we dont like it when non-muslims open the quran up to the beat your wives quote, so dont put few silly quotes of his speech here. thanks. i love you. may allaah guide all of us. also, if you come to zaytuna meetings here in berkeley, you will see that there are immigrants everywhere. call zaytuna. go to their page and call them. a pakistani is the lady working in the office. there is a mix of all colors here. immigrants and converts, everything. the gatherings are beautiful–everyone is mixed and everyone is nice. just trust me. if you think i am lying, i encourage you to do research. may allaah protect you.

I could not sleep until almost 3:00 am. as I had to finish listening to this great lecture of Sh. Hamza Yusuf.

I admire noble people like Sheikh Hamza whose messages are based on balance, sanity and objectivity.

It makes me sad to see few Muslims in our midst who do not have something called tolerance.

You either have to agree with them or you are a Kaafir, unbeliever.

I don’t know Sheikh Hamza personally. I have been fortunate enough to listen to his lectures and to meet him at the airport recently when he visited Toronto, Canada, for the annual Reviving the Islamic Spirit conference.

He is a humble man, wise, knowledgeable and a precious gift whom we should take advantage of in benefiting from him from his knowledge and wisdom.

May Allah grant him success, good health, safety and security in this life and in the next. Amin.

Assalam Alaikum

brothers..I know that ALLAH has made some people on earth a tribulation for others, lets not be that person. Overlooking the fact that Sheikh Hamza Yusuf’s statements to some muslim immigrants had a bitter taste to it, lets not miss the point the shkh was making…and that is to talk eloquently to each other and to none-muslims. This sheikh is one of my favorite sheikh, and even though you may not agree with him brother Husain, but they way u responded was a little disrespectful ..and I know that you will agree that…even if the sheikh was wrong ..our prophet (peace b upon him) would have responded in a better manner.

Jazakallah
Assalam Alaikum
