and Islam
Hamza
Yusuf Join the halaqa
and take part in this discussion about the Islamic perspective
of women and the many related issues. In the mountains of Northern
New Mexico at the world famous Abiquiu Madressah, Hamza Yusuf
answers many of the common questions about Muslim women such
as the degree of men over women, the hijab, rights and roles,
the concept of deficiency in women, and the hadith about women
in Hell. 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.
Other topics discussed: the breakdown of the family in the West,
the man's weakness for the woman, men and women shaking hands,
cultural norms vs. shari'ah, a woman's right to her own living
space, participating in politics, following laws that contradict
the shari'ah, paying taxes, and the idea of putting your parents
in retirement homes. (Duration: 2 hours)
Hamza Yusuf became Muslim
in 1977 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 a reputation for presenting a classical
picture of Islam in the West and which is dedicated to the revival
of traditional study methods.
