Hamza
Yusuf Join the halaqa
and take part in this discussion about the basic objectives of
Islamic law. In the mountains of Northern New Mexico at the world
famous Abiquiu Madressah, Hamza Yusuf elaborates on the six elements
that shari'ah seeks to preserve in society. Part of the widely
popular Deen Intensive program, this session is an opportunity
to see a unique side of Imam Hamza within the context of an informal
and interactive study group. After a comprehensive look at how
shari'ah preserves the deen, this session covers five other areas:
the preservation of life, lineage, wealth, intellect and honor.
Other topics discussed: religion vs. ritual, the power of superstition,
morality, the permissibility of adoption, changing one's name
upon converting to Islam, punishment for theft and adultery,
public/private education, and extremism. (Duration: 1 hour, 47
min)
Hamza Yusuf became Muslim
in 1977. He traveled to the Muslim world and studied for 10 years
in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Africa, receiving
teaching licenses in various Islamic subjects from several scholars.
He founded Zaytuna Institute, which has established an international
reputation for presenting a classical picture of Islam in the
West and which is dedicated to the revival of traditional study
methods and the sciences of Islam.
