    There is a lovely moment in this video where Sh. Hamza Yusuf becomes obviously emotional when he presents his teachers, he lingers over those lovely human beings who were his Shaykhs and I recognise some of those faces, they are from the awliya, and Shaykh Hamza's love for them is his spiritual heritage. Thank you Shaykh Hamza for your work

    "We can't be a Stewart if we are constantly fulfilling our own desires." This will help me to consume less for sure. This brother is dropping some serious knowledge once again
  • I really appreciate the beauty of unity, respect and understanding from both speakers and the attendees. I especially loved when Shiek Hamza brought up the importance of awareness on the harms of pornography and the crimes being committed against men, women and children who are victims of Human Trafficking. I completely believe that the youth are targeted to become addicted to pornography in order to become lifelong consumers of this sick and destructive industry. Many women, including myself and men in my community are in a movement which I like to call "Consciousness Revolution" dedicated to educating members of our community on this issue and assisting organizations who provide shelter and rehabilitation programs for survivors of Human Trafficking.
