More quotes by Hamza Yusuf
Reality of things is hidden in the realm of the unseen
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
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
People of the world will reject your reminders, because it reminds them that this world is temporary.
Hamza Yusuf
I'm amazed at the courage of the journalists on the frontlines in Iraq, but we need intellectual courage in our community.

Hamza Yusuf
I don't have any control over what other people do, and they don't represent me or my faith.
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
After that one fitnah, every time it calms down in one place, it starts somewhere else.
Hamza Yusuf
Everything that we do has a spiritual essence. There is a spiritual dimension in everything. All of life has meaning and everything that you do in life is in preparation for your great meeting. This great meeting is your meeting with your Lord, which is absolutely inevitable.
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
Everyone’s a believer when things are going fine. The real faith is when one becomes patient with tribulations.
Hamza Yusuf
Force yourself to be humble, until it becomes second nature. Then it will be an unconscious activity.
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
Allah knows exactly what to give you to help you return to Him. The events in your life are purposeful, appropriate & non-random.
Hamza Yusuf
