Sowing the Seeds, Action In The Last Hour by Sheikh Hamza Yusuf

<br />
A profound and mind changing lecture from Hamza Yusuf. Listen and reconnect with what really matters and the Deen that we take for granted. While running after this unforgiving world, we become blind to the Most Forgiving and His Perfection of an Apostle, our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).<br />
<br />
Please listen and give careful attention to the proofs and advices. With the end of times upon us, we must understand that we were created for a higher purpose and made Muslim for the Highest Purpose. Trust in that and Trust in Him.<br />

The Call To Dawah by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

<br />
“A Call to Dawah” like no other. Shaikh Hamza Yusuf, young and at his best, brilliantly illustrates the first condition of Dawah in this lecture and that is the fortification of faith. Before you give Dawah to anyone your belief in what you preach should be solid and you should have clear understanding of why Allah’s religion is the ONLY religion and why we must ask all to embrace it.<br />
<br />
He asks us to learn our manners through the Quran and Sunnah so that we deserve entry into this House and a place to stay in this House. If there is one lecture that you should sit through and really take in it is this one. In these critical times we need to firmly grasp the rope of Allah…we need to change ourselves to save ourselves.<br />

Secularism: The Greatest Challenge Facing Islam by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

A brilliant lecture by Hamza Yusuf (recorded pre-2000), on the Secularism, as he puts it ‘the greatest danger facing Islam’. Many important and valid points were raised during the lecture that still resonate now as they did back then. If you wish to increase your understanding on the forces behind the New World Order (Secularism) in an intellectual rather than an emotional way, this is a brilliant lecture which delivers.<br />
<br />
“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.” (The Noble Quran 5:3)<br />
<br />
“And whoever desires other than Islam as religion – never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.” (The Noble Quran 3:85)<br />

Devil's Trap by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

<br />
We all love our children, Alhamdulillah. We only want what is best for them and Shaytan (May Allah curse him) knows this. He is a very patient hunter who is so conniving that his prey is clueless to his grand scheme. He makes us believe at times that the things we do for our children so they feel included and not lacking are exactly what will make them healthy and well-rounded individuals. This is his delusion. He traps us in this web of deception where everything appears acceptable on the surface, but the darkness that lingers just underneath is both frightening and all consuming.<br />
<br />
“[Shaitan (Satan)] commands you only what is evil and Fahsha (sinful), and that you should say against Allah what you know not.” (The Noble Quran 2:169)<br />

Purification Of The Heart by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

<br />
If we examine the trials and tribulations all over earth, we'll find they are rooted in human hearts. Covetousness, the desire to aggress and exploit, the longing to pilfer natural resources, the inordinate love of wealth, and other maladies are manifestations of diseases found nowhere but in the heart.<br />
<br />
Every criminal, miser, abuser, scoffer, embezzler, and hateful person does what he or she does because of a diseased heart. So if you want to change our world, do not begin by rectifying the outward. Instead, change the condition of the inward.<br />

In the Footsteps of the Prophet (pbuh) by Sheikh Hamza Yusuf

<br />
This is one of the most comprehensive and thought provoking lecture by Hamza Yusuf. In this lecture, he implores the audience to consider the major crisis of our time: the disillusion of the human soul itself. He then presents a program based on a hadith in which the Prophet (PBUH) said, “I was sent to perfect noble character.” In this context, he outlines the two primary concerns of the Muslim, the heart and the limbs, and the need to follow in the footsteps of the Prophet (PBUH) by utilizing his divinely-inspired methodology to guard them.<br />

Making the Quran the Spring of Our Hearts

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp80hZMiWHurakoqVZlbOI1GnigmNY8L3uIM99iwjnYZd8q8tOLeJz9rKInwCYKHwQ0SrCMkCi5QaObYOhApgmpCZJelqNXtTjKoqs-Bjei2uvm1RIxlcLi09L7HmNWuzsXFZvSi9cjNHu/s1600/minaret-sunset.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp80hZMiWHurakoqVZlbOI1GnigmNY8L3uIM99iwjnYZd8q8tOLeJz9rKInwCYKHwQ0SrCMkCi5QaObYOhApgmpCZJelqNXtTjKoqs-Bjei2uvm1RIxlcLi09L7HmNWuzsXFZvSi9cjNHu/s640/minaret-sunset.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
As the world turns and seasons change, our lives move inex-orably toward their fated ends. Our minutes become hours, our hours days, our days weeks, our weeks years, and our years make up the totality of our lives. In these days of great imbalance, we are in greater need of connecting to the natural order that surrounds us.<br />
<br />
Each planet knows its course and each tree its cycle: “And the stars and the trees submit in prostration.” The stars ornament the sky, and the trees the earth, and between the two realms resides man who is made up of both terrestrial and celestial elements, spiritual and bodi-ly, willful and appetitive, angelic and bestial, light and dark. Each resides in us, at times compelling us to wrongs, and at others to rights.<br />
<br />
In these latter days, it appears as if the bestial aspect of our natures is waxing, and the spiritual is waning. Wordsworth reminded us of this when he wrote:<br />
The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;<br />
Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!<br />
<br />
In spite of the insanity of this country’s recent attacks on Iraq that began on March 20th, 2003, the next day the sun crossed the equa-tor on its apparent path North to initiate a new Spring. That evening, I went out and gazed up at old Orion, known to the Iraqis as al-Jabbar, and sure enough, there he was in all his glory, right where I expected him to be. The trees outside my home were blooming, and nature’s order was so palpable, I realized that no matter how disor-derly man becomes, God’s order in His Divine creation is there to constantly remind us: “Come back, come back, a thousand times come back.”<br />
<br />
Birth, growth, maturity, decay, and death: these are the cycles we see around us, and these are our own reality. We too are part of nature, and it is our task to comply with the laws of nature and nature’s God. This is submission, what we call Islam. It is not a socio-Seasons | spring | summer logical category of creedal belief that deter-mines how we are to be classified nor a culture or civilization – although those elements are invariably there. It is a state of being. We were in that state so perfectly when we were children. We knew just what to do at each stage.<br />
<br />
We knew just what to do in our mothers’ wombs: as each stage progressed, our cells fulfilled their destinies becoming the organs and structures they were meant to be. We knew when to leave the womb, and we came into the world effortlessly, latching onto our mothers’ breast. We never overate but knew when we were satiated. We knew when to take our first steps, to walk, to run, to imagine, to play. We were following the natural order of childhood.<br />
<br />
Then, a strange event occurs – not so sud-denly but over time. We begin to learn how not to be ourselves but to be what our socie-ty expects of us. We lose that state of submission to our true nature, which is servitude to our Lord, Cherisher, and Sustainer; we begin to transgress. We learn to lie; we learn to say the opposite of what we think, feel, or believe. This new state is not arrived at effortlessly but with much pain and sorrow. Our thoughts are troubled, our actions are heavy, and our states laden with cares that are not our own.<br />
<br />
“If you truly believed,” said our Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, “you would go out in the morning likes birds, hungry and return in the evening filled.”<br />
<br />
Effortless is the bird’s movement towards its predetermined sustenance, and without anxiety it seeks it. The bird is in submission. The trees that provide the bird’s home are in submission. The worm that becomes its dinner is in submission – each fulfilling its function, its purpose; each taking its place<br />
in the grand scheme of things. Only man is the odd one out, and we are the ones who suffer as we squander our energies on pur-suits not suited to our souls, on desires not healthful for our natures, on thoughts not conducive to our salvation.<br />
<br />
Spring is here gently reminding those willing to listen: “Come back, come back, a thousand times come back.” Our Prophet, peace be upon him said, “O Allah make the Quran the Spring of my heart.” What a glori-ous request! If indeed the Quran was the Spring of our hearts, our hearts would be in bloom always with the freshness of nature’s newness and nature’s order: the green that cools our eyes, the fragrances that perfume our scent, the fruits that delight our taste and nurture our bodies, and the flowers that remind us of life’s bounty and delicacy.<br />
<br />
The Quran should be the Spring of our hearts, and our Lord can make it so. Let the Spring of this season renew you once again.<br />
Let your return be to your Lord once again.<br />
Just as Spring has returned, let us return.<br />
Just as Spring has brought life to countless fields and innumerable flowers, let our hearts come back to life.<br />
<br />
May this Spring renew our hearts and our commitment to grace the world with states of submission and gratitude, peace and prosperity. May this Spring bring forth in us<br />
a desire to dedicate our lives to working toward the changes in ourselves that we demand of our leaders and our societies.<br />
<br />
May we be people of charity and concern for others. May God grant us victory over our real enemies: pride, envy, covetousness, spiritual sloth, wrath, gluttony, and lust. In conquering those, we are prepared to con-quer the forces in the world that threaten humanity’s well-being. In submitting to our real enemies, we become easy prey to the forces that result in our own submission to their means of occupation. Please pray for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East, who have so long suffered, that light may come soon to that region. We, like our beloved Prophet, peace be upon him, before us pray: “God forgive our people, for they know not what they do.”<br />
