my mom taught me the stories of the prophet and the Sahabas.... probably thats the reason why I am listening to this conversation at my 30 years of age
- Aisha one of the seven sahaba who narrated + 2000 hadiths - 15% of hadiths involve women as key narrators in the chains of narration - Mothers as indubitably the main influencers of children- especially in the most formative of years 0-7 - Islamic civilization clearly pioneering in the upholding of female scholarship in all variety of uloom - Western education lagging on working on memory and imbibing knowledge- this is something classical civilization cherished - 11 years- peak neuro-myelination period for children- therefore memory prior to 11 'absolutely essential' - Piaget and other developmental theorists confirm that memory is the most important thing to focus on as a child- rather than reasoning and critical thinking- not ready yet prior to adolescence and beyond - Mauritania- families that are known to have powerful memories - Istihdaar- retrieving information from deep within the recesses of the mind- almost computing power of the great scholars and thinkers- highlights the capacity for memorization - Dr Yusuf- there is a palpable divine facilitation for those that focus on the religion of Allah- things are easier to learn - Book of Intention- oftentimes the opening chapter for the great Islamic books e.g. Riyadh As Saliheen - A Muslim should be a mujahid (jihadul nafs) and mujtahid (progressive, leader, beneficial to others)- antithetical to the 'Death by Amusement' culture of the nihilistic, materialist and hedonistic West - 'I've never seen a revolutionary build what he has destroyed' - 'You do not worship a deaf God'- that is Dr Yusuf has grievance with the brash,, almost revolutionary nature of some Islamo-poltical voices in the West- argues for more empathy and reconciliation rather than othering and alienation - 'Do you admonish others to do good and forget yourselves?' - Dr Yusuf- Quran, Arabic and Hadith sciences are now a fard 'ayn- therefore incumbent on many more Muslims given the scarcity of scholars in this age
I don't think the 'disengagement' is emphasized to the degree it should be understood. Their disengagement is that of conforming to society at large and partial disengagement from the Zionist Saudi vision of Islam infecting every Islamic community on the globe. Retreat and disengagement was always a temporary thing and was for understanding of Zahir and Batin. Nowadays its meaning mutates into apathy or apathy in the form of conformity. Either way, it is stripped of its higher spirituality.
Whatever Hmaza Yusuf's other merits, he has little grasp of anarchism, of the construction of a different society beginning in our lives now, of the contracting of OTHER social relationships, the practice of mutual aid, etc. Anarchism is NOT, as he says "tearing down as opposed to building". "You can't blow up a social relationship" is a maxim some Muslims might do well to learn from anarchists. The groups he criticises around 22:00 are the antithesis of anarchism, not an example of it
Two of the biggest giants in Islam ☪️
my mom taught me the stories of the prophet and the Sahabas.... probably thats the reason why I am listening to this conversation at my 30 years of age
One of the best conversations I’ve have ever watched. Thanks for uploading.
- Aisha one of the seven sahaba who narrated + 2000 hadiths
- 15% of hadiths involve women as key narrators in the chains of narration
- Mothers as indubitably the main influencers of children- especially in the most formative of years 0-7
- Islamic civilization clearly pioneering in the upholding of female scholarship in all variety of uloom
- Western education lagging on working on memory and imbibing knowledge- this is something classical civilization cherished
- 11 years- peak neuro-myelination period for children- therefore memory prior to 11 'absolutely essential'
- Piaget and other developmental theorists confirm that memory is the most important thing to focus on as a child- rather than reasoning and critical thinking- not ready yet prior to adolescence and beyond
- Mauritania- families that are known to have powerful memories
- Istihdaar- retrieving information from deep within the recesses of the mind- almost computing power of the great scholars and thinkers- highlights the capacity for memorization
- Dr Yusuf- there is a palpable divine facilitation for those that focus on the religion of Allah- things are easier to learn
- Book of Intention- oftentimes the opening chapter for the great Islamic books e.g. Riyadh As Saliheen
- A Muslim should be a mujahid (jihadul nafs) and mujtahid (progressive, leader, beneficial to others)- antithetical to the 'Death by Amusement' culture of the nihilistic, materialist and hedonistic West
- 'I've never seen a revolutionary build what he has destroyed'
- 'You do not worship a deaf God'- that is Dr Yusuf has grievance with the brash,, almost revolutionary nature of some Islamo-poltical voices in the West- argues for more empathy and reconciliation rather than othering and alienation
- 'Do you admonish others to do good and forget yourselves?'
- Dr Yusuf- Quran, Arabic and Hadith sciences are now a fard 'ayn- therefore incumbent on many more Muslims given the scarcity of scholars in this age

Yes ..
Stripped of Spirituality..
It does Not Mean It's Not There..
Yes that sounds right. Allah u aalam
