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
Force yourself to be humble, until it becomes second nature. Then it will be an unconscious activity.
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
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
I know that people can live celibate lives, I did it myself for many years.
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
Hamza Yusuf
If you had one word to describe the root of all this rage, it's humiliation.
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

Hamza Yusuf
In the Communist period, the revolutionaries, the leaders were almost always - Che Guevara, people like that - they were always from the middle class and the educated. And empathy is a very powerful emotion.
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
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
When paying charity, one should smile and be humble, allowing the hand of the indigent to be above the giver's hand.
Hamza Yusuf
A democracy is predicated on an educated citizenry. You cannot have a democracy with people that are more interested in what Nicole Kidman is doing or whoever the latest fashion model is.
Hamza Yusuf
Muslims are peace-loving people generally. Among the young, yes, there are some militant attitudes. But a lot of it arises out of chivalry.
Hamza Yusuf
There are 20,000 Muslim physicians in the United States, Americans putting their lives in the hands of Muslims every day.
Hamza Yusuf
There's a statement in the Quran: There should be absolutely no compulsion in religion.
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
Intelligent people surround themselves with people who challenge them, not yes people.
