Malcolm Khutba - Feb. 21, 2014

Hamza Yusuf’s commentary on Murata’s and Chittick’s The Vision of Islam makes crystal clear the meanings of a Muslim’s beliefs, actions, and spiritual journey through life. Wonderful for Muslims interested in a more thorough understanding of their religion, this set is also an excellent introduction to Islam for people of other faiths who wish to gain a clear understanding of Islam’s basic principles and practices. Remembered by students for its liveliness and clarity, this set is filled with fascinating insights into Islam. 

Part 12 - Vision of Islam by Hamza Yusuf

In this lecture, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf clarifies many of the questions surrounding how we as Muslims can best understand how to follow the Quran and the Prophetic Way (Sunnah) of our beloved Prophet Muhammad. By explaining how legal rulings are derived, and the required qualifications of those who engage in this process, Shaykh Hamza brings light to the rich legal tradition of Islam.

With these clarification in mind, the listener is elevated past simple slogans for a return to the sources, and is equipped with an enriched understanding of the process of interacting with the divine sources of law.

This lecture reminds us that we are fortunate that the many complexities of sacred law (shari'ah) have been worked out by the jurists, and that, in the end, we will be asked by God not if we ourselves derived rulings, but if we committed ourselves to sincerely following them.

Reflection delivered on June 15th, 2018

In this compelling Eid bayaan, Shaykh Amin accentuates that Islam is and will always remain independent from all external influences – whether they be religious, political, philosophical or civilizational.  Throughout history, we have been a community that gives, not takes – a reflection of the values of our most generous and genius leader, Prophet Muhammad (saw).  We must be proud of these inherited values which construct the shari’ah; we must wear it as a badge of honor and relieve ourselves from the shackles of the apologetic mindset.

Khutbah

"Islam Stands Alone!"

"No matter what situation we are in, we must be in a state of dhikr, which is a sign of our service. In this lecture:
- prophets as role models
- the affliction of Ayyūb (AS) and his example for the afflicted
- psychological barriers to recovery
- the salvational consequences of patience
- the mission of a prophet
- the people of understanding and the story of (AS) as a cure for our sick mindset"

1. Expecting salvation despite violations

There's a health crisis that nobody thinks about: chronic fatigue. How we sleep is something we never think about, but is the foundation of physical, mental,  emotional and spiritual health.

Solo: The Massive Epidemic Nobody's Talking About Ft. Dr. Shadee with Dr. Morad Fairoz

How do we perceive the states of our soul? Do we find ourselves depending upon our own deeds and actions with the assumption that Allah is pleased with them? Are we in a condition that believes we are immune from Allah's punishment and will automatically receive His mercy? Are we in a state of despair thinking we will never be granted Allah's mercy and forgiveness. 
   Dr. Abdullah bin Hamid Ali provides moving discourse that highlights how we should strike a balance between complacency of the soul and utter despair.

Special • Resolve

With the increasing number of Muslim women speaking out against what they perceive to be not so much a double standard because that presumes sameness between men and women, but an injustice in terms of what's expected from them compared to Muslim men, we now have men pushing back and crying foul.

What is toxic masculinity? And how does it manifest in marriages and intimacy? How did the social conditioning of men lead to this?

These questions form the points of discussion in this episode dedicated to Muslim men.
