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.

More quotes by Hamza Yusuf
Everyone’s a believer when things are going fine. The real faith is when one becomes patient with tribulations.
Hamza Yusuf
Religion is here to unite us. It's not here to divide us. If it's dividing us, it's not God's religion, it's something else.
Hamza Yusuf
There's a statement in the Quran: There should be absolutely no compulsion in religion.
Hamza Yusuf
Opinion is not knowledge. You're entitled to your own opinion but you're not entitled to your own facts.
Hamza Yusuf
If Islam is not making you happy, then something is wrong with your Islam
Hamza Yusuf
The weak are dominated by their ego, the wise dominate their ego, and the intelligent are in a constant struggle against their ego.
Hamza Yusuf
People of the world will reject your reminders, because it reminds them that this world is temporary.
Hamza Yusuf
Force yourself to be humble, until it becomes second nature. Then it will be an unconscious activity.
Hamza Yusuf
Where is your heart? Is your heart with God? Is it with your own ego or your lust? Is it with your greed, your pride, envy, or your resentment? This is a time where you can go into yourself and ask: Where is my heart? Ramadan is a time to give the heart back to the One who possesses the hearts.
Hamza Yusuf
In our inherent contradictions as humans, and in order to validate our own pain, we deny the pain of others. But it is in acknowledging the pain of others that we achieve fully our humanity.
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
After that one fitnah, every time it calms down in one place, it starts somewhere else.
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
The vast majority of Muslims would never accept the lawfulness of an active homosexual lifestyle. I don't see that happening. But there is also no authority in the tradition for any individual to take things into his own hands and impose their version of the religion on someone else.
Hamza Yusuf
For young people, if someone tells you: you are the future - say No! I'm the present. You have things to do right now.
Hamza Yusuf
When paying charity, one should smile and be humble, allowing the hand of the indigent to be above the giver's hand.
Hamza Yusuf
If you had one word to describe the root of all this rage, it's humiliation.
Hamza Yusuf
I don't have any control over what other people do, and they don't represent me or my faith.
Hamza Yusuf
I know that people can live celibate lives, I did it myself for many years.
Hamza Yusuf
Intelligent people surround themselves with people who challenge them, not yes people.
