More quotes by Hamza Yusuf
Hypocrisy is wretched because the hypocrite says with his tongue what is not in his heart. He wrongs his tongue and oppresses his heart. But if the heart is sound, the condition of the tongue follows suit. We are commanded to be upright in speech, which is a gauge of the heart's state.
Hamza Yusuf

People have to be exposed to Muslims, just experience Muslims talk to them. Reach out, read about Islam, try to find out about it.
Hamza Yusuf
God is with the broken-hearted. When your heart breaks, it’s a good thing – the breaking of the heart is what opens it up to the light of Allah. The dunya is designed to break your heart, to crush it.
Hamza Yusuf
I don't have any control over what other people do, and they don't represent me or my faith.
Hamza Yusuf
Every civilization: Hindu, Buddhist, Confucianist, Christian, Jewish and Muslim, all of them understood that LEARNING was to make a BETTER HUMAN BEING, LEARNING was NOT to MAKE MORE MONEY It was to make a BETTER HUMAN BEING.
Hamza Yusuf
I can't - and won't - impose my beliefs on others, either verbally or otherwise. I'm not going to judge people.
Hamza Yusuf
Whatever is for the sake of Allah will go on and continue. Whatever is for other than Allah, it will end and be severed
