About this lecture

In this Eid al-Adha khutbah delivered in 2008, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf reflects on the spiritual legacy of Prophet Ibrahim Alayhi Salam — his unwavering submission to Allah, the story of the sacrifice, and what it means to follow the Millah of Ibrahim today. He calls on Muslims to renew their covenant with Allah, prioritize the Deen over worldly distractions, and remain optimistic and generous even amid economic hardship, closing with a heartfelt du'a for the entire Ummah.

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf is one of the most influential Islamic scholars in the Western world. Born Mark Hanson in Washington State in 1958, he embraced Islam in 1977 and spent over a decade studying the traditional Islamic sciences in the UAE, Algeria, Morocco, and Mauritania, most notably under the Mauritanian sage Murabit al-Hajj. He is the co-founder and president of Zaytuna College in Berkeley, California — the first accredited Muslim liberal arts college in the United States — and has translated numerous classical texts, including "The Creed of Imam al-Tahawi" and "Purification of the Heart." His lectures on spirituality, classical scholarship, and the crisis of modernity have shaped a generation of Western Muslims.
