Salaams from South Africa 🇿🇦…….. I had the opportunity of sitting next to sheik Abdul hakeem muraad in South Africa 🇿🇦 a few years ago . I asked him that how is it that his translation of the book 📕 of death ofi imam ghazali is so long as the Ihya ulum ud deen is 40 books 📚 not so lengthy 4 books 📚 translation by al haj Fazlul Kareem. Timothy Winter told me he translates the full book … an amazing intellectual and a great Sufi …. Someone spoke to him harshly… he answered with extreme composure… i was extremely happy to meet him as I have been studying Abu Hameed’s books 📚 since young … I’m now fifty years old trying to read as much as possible in various fields aqeeda fiqh hadeeth usul ul fiqh tafseer seerah maqasid and Sufism. Enjoy your journey of knowledge.
Salaam brother Paul and. Sheigh hamid. All I can say at this moment in time ( I'm so overwhelmed by your discussion : 2 superb intellectual minds at work da"wa-ing islam in such a very English fashion ( where culture does not go against the injunctions of the holy Quran), is maasha Allah. May the Almighty keep you modest and lead you onto greater heights in the ultimate deen: ISLAM
From what I've seen, the Cambridge Mosque is beautiful. I've listened to some of Sheikh Murad's 'sermons', which I found to be very calming, but thought provoking also.
Such eloquence from Sheikh Murad, I wish I had 1% of that, may Allah bless him and grant him long life and Jannah firdous in the hereafter. Thank you brother Paul for hosting him and your efforts too.
Paul, this is probably your best guest ever! I'm only 15 mins in, but i had to comment, fantastically insightful so far and full of wisdom, all other Muslims need to take note!(I'll comment again when I've listened to all of it)
Br Paul, may Allah bless you with a long life and increase you in Iman, you are the beautiful face of modern European muslim and Islam.... educated, cultured with a rounded knowledge of Islam. You are the perfect antidote against the Islamophobes.
Bro Paul. One of the far right politicians Sheikh Murad helped with finding Islam is the Dutch far right politician Joram van Klaveren. Perhaps its an idea to get him on your channel. He will for sure want to do an episode with you. Maybe we can hear more of his views on theology, religions and philosophy instead of his superficial conversion story in his other public interviews.
@Umm Muhammad he have a book called apostate. Sheikh hamza yusuf and sheikh murad is in the book also. All three are very inspiring people including brother paul
Oh that would be a nice encounter to listen to. What a story that was, that of Joram. The "intellect" behind the huge far right party of Geert Wilders, turns to Islam after attempting to disprove the religion initially by doing research and write a book about it.
@@shahrimanshahnaz7008 Yes. It is actually quite sad at the same time too. But a normal course of things almost.

It is quite entertaining to see an anglo guy lecturing about Islam to a room full of dark or brown-skinned men.
@@dinorossi6611 and it becomes more interesting when we realised that those dark brown people do not even see their different colours when listening to the Sheikh. They only saw the wisdom which Allah bestowed upon him.

Some interesting numbers appearing from Europe 4. Islam in Spain! Thanks Prof. Murad and the dearest host. May Allah bless the effort.

Thanks Mr. Abdul Hakim Murad.... From Germany and Bangladesh..... I follow your lecture and in depth discussion which is enlightened my cognitive knowledge. May Allah almighty grant good health both of you.... 🌹🌹🌹
I won’t wait until the end. You don’t disappoint. After the unusually lengthy introduction (he needs no introduction of course) you give him plenty of breathing space. Well done, The Murray book is “The Strange Death of Europe” BTW. Your observation of him is astute. It’s interesting how we agree with the right on values, but they see us a threat, whereas we disagree with the left on values but they don’t currently see us as a threat, so long as we don’t oppose each other openly on ideology. Well done on exploring difficult subjects with important people. It’s great to watch.
I haven’t even begun to watch this video and I immediately hit the like button. I’ll have to watch it tomorrow inshallah when I get some free time. Sheikh Murad is someone I deeply respect and I’m so pleased to see that he’s made it on this channel. Brother Paul you’re doing an exceptionally phenomenal job with this channel. Truly incredible work. I was here when there were only a handful of followers and I’ve seen the channel grow from strength to strength in a very short period thanks to your diligent work. The caliber of guests you host and the depth and breadth of topics covered is simply unprecedented. Thank you Paul for all you do and for the work you put into this. I can’t express how grateful I am to be a follower of your work and your channel and for the knowledge and insight I’ve gained from watching your videos. Bravo.
I am honored to hear this intelligent conversation. This has opened my view more about how Islam is with all its challenges in the western world. You deliver it in an academic language full of knowledge. May Allah give blessings to all of you. ♥️ from 🇮🇩 Indonesia
I still remember how Joram Van Klaveren (ex anti Islam member of Dutch Parlimen) starting point journey to Islam after read the book from Prof Abdal Hakim.. May Allah gives undoubtedly rewards to him.
I didn't know Abdul Hakim murad. Thanks Paul for introducing him to me... I can only imagine his level of knowledge by this conversation. Looking forward to his book about life.
What a distinguished guest and the host as well, eloquently delivered contents, and inspiring both scientifically and tracendentally.. thank you Paul for sharing all of this..
Ustaad Abdal Hakim is a great teacher, he has very good lectures up on RUclips. Hamza Yusuf is another good scholar with a similar style to Abdal you may enjoy listening to.
Quite awe inspiring. The suggestion of Al-Ḥajaru al- Aswad being the Holy Grail was mind boggling, would like to hear more about it. Thank you both for the fascinating discussion. Jazak Allah.🙏
Asalam alaykom brother Paul. Alhamdulillah for such a video with a well respected and classically trained scholar of Islam. This was a conversation that was well overdue on your channel so Jazakallah khayr.
Extraordinary wisdom pouring out from this amazing conversation .... may Allah open up people who seek for the truth to collect gems from this well of wisdom.
An hour or so of one of the most eloquently put message of Islam, it does not get better than this. What you hear is a manifestation of the simplicity and beauty of the message through Islam. Worth listening and making short notes. May Allah bless all those dedicated to the study of Islam.
Thank you very much Paul. Abdul Hakim Murad is a true Legend and a great sufi too. May i suggest your next interview with him would be on Sufism. That may clear much cloud from many of us who are nowadays sufiphobics.
Thanks brother Paul for this one. Sheikh Winter has an unusual intelligence and eloquence. His form is intimidating, his wording would take a good author to write down while he only speaks out. He is one of the people who has made me confident of Islamic intellectual legacy.
Asalam Alaikum Paul. You know about 20 yrs ago , Ashfaq Ahmed sahab a great author from Pakistan said something that I remember so vividly. He said Islam will rise again from the West. They will study it and practice it correctly. We , people of the East are followers. Listening to you reminds me of Ashfaq Sahab. May Allah bless him with Jannat ul firdous. And may Allah bless you for your effort. Ameen
Sufis are many and different schools. Most importantly, do they follow the approach and method of the Prophet Muhammad or not. I watched Sheikh Othman Al-Khamis talk about Sufism in rent Sufism on the scale - Sheikh Othman Al Khamees ruclips.net/video/EHlgutgpbDw/видео.html
Thank you “blogging theology team” Fantastic discussion. May Allah(swt) reward you for bringing this discussion to us. May Allah(swt) raise the sheiks rank in this world and the hereafter.

Thank you ever so much for presenting Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, a true luminary and a scholar in modern Islam. It is not easy to understand or follow the Shaykh's videos unless one has an insight knowledge in Islamic theology and Sufism, considered by many scholars as the heart of Islam.
What a wonderful and amazingly informative discussion. I had to pause it half way through to subscribe to Mr. Abdal Hakim Murad's youtube outlet which happens to be the "Cambridge Muslim college" channel. I thank both of you for letting me have the chance to be a part of it. My deepest respect and applause for what you bring to the field as well as your characters.

What a brilliant interview! May Allah persevere the Shaykh and brother Paul
Professor Abdal Hakim Murad is an example of a running book of Islam indeed. Liked this rich discussion 💖
Paul I am in Gambia. You will have a big reward in the hereafter InshaAllah. We love you
Gambia is amazing, Banjul is nice!
@@zakzak613 you must have visited the Gambia. Thanks for the compliment comrade
I still remember how Joram Van Klaveren (ex anti Islam member of Dutch Parlimen) starting point journey to Islam after read the book from Prof Abdal Hakim.. May Allah gives undoubtedly rewards to him.
Listen 21:06 very beautifully explained that every soul needs faith and is thirsty of God
I didn't know Abdul Hakim murad. Thanks Paul for introducing him to me... I can only imagine his level of knowledge by this conversation. Looking forward to his book about life.
This is a treat! Looking forward to the discussion.
SubhannaAllah. this dr. Murad is smart. indeed, head and shoulders above the mundane mind. MashaAllah.
What a great talk by two scholars. Well done you both. May ALLAH bless you. Ameen.
Just crying by the end simply beautiful 😢
What a distinguished guest and the host as well, eloquently delivered contents, and inspiring both scientifically and tracendentally.. thank you Paul for sharing all of this..
Ustaad Abdal Hakim is a great teacher, he has very good lectures up on RUclips. Hamza Yusuf is another good scholar with a similar style to Abdal you may enjoy listening to.
Quite awe inspiring. The suggestion of Al-Ḥajaru al- Aswad being the Holy Grail was mind boggling, would like to hear more about it. Thank you both for the fascinating discussion. Jazak Allah.🙏
Fascinating interaction between you and the esteemed Shaykh. Blogging theology might be my favorite channel on this platform. Keep up the good work. 👍
This is such an anticipated interview. Haven't seen it yet but cannot wait brother Paul!
An edifice of intellect and mercy. An erudite, great scholar.
Without wanting to discount any of the past discussions at all.....this discourse has by far been the best and most relevant for me....loved it.!!
Asalam alaykom brother Paul. Alhamdulillah for such a video with a well respected and classically trained scholar of Islam. This was a conversation that was well overdue on your channel so Jazakallah khayr.
Thank you so much bro Paul for conducting this masterclass of a conversation with the highly esteemed SAHM.
My pleasure!
Extraordinary wisdom pouring out from this amazing conversation .... may Allah open up people who seek for the truth to collect gems from this well of wisdom.
Very good man with clarity om islamic beliefs..Allah may bless him...!
Thoroughly enjoyed this discussion. My favourite episode on Blogging Theology so far. Keep up the good work brother Paul.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Intriguing discussion. The utmost gratitude to Blogging Theology for the variety of captivating sights and sounds!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finally ! I always wondered when will Paul invite sh Dr Abdulhakim Murad. thnk you and Allah bless you both
An hour or so of one of the most eloquently put message of Islam, it does not get better than this.
What you hear is a manifestation of the simplicity and beauty of the message through Islam.
Worth listening and making short notes.
May Allah bless all those dedicated to the study of Islam.
I love this interview so much. Mashallah you’re a great interviewer
This was the fastest hour I have spent on RUclips in my life. Superb interview!
We are so fortunate to have this sheikh in our times to guide us British Muslims in these very challenging times,
Shaykh Timothy Winter (rakhimahullah) is my favorite of the living ones. Salam from Kazakhstan
Abdal Hakim Murad and Hamza Yusuf are a blessing. They completely reshaped my thinking on Islām.
Just as advice don't listen to Abu layth and search up people like Mohammed Hijab. Peace
@ Noah G your so right, they have reshaped my mind as well!
Thank you brother Paul for the interview. May Allah (swt) increase his blessings on you and Sheikh Abdul Hakim Murad 🙌🏻
Mashallah he is speaking the truth so boldly. May Allah bless you both. Thank you for inviting Shaykh Murad, one of my favorite Islamic scholars.
Thank you very much Paul. Abdul Hakim Murad is a true Legend and a great sufi too. May i suggest your next interview with him would be on Sufism. That may clear much cloud from many of us who are nowadays sufiphobics.
I’ve enjoyed every second of this wonderful discussion, thank you very much Mr Williams and thanks to Sheikh Abdal Hakim Murad , may allah bless you
Thanks brother Paul for this one. Sheikh Winter has an unusual intelligence and eloquence. His form is intimidating, his wording would take a good author to write down while he only speaks out. He is one of the people who has made me confident of Islamic intellectual legacy.
Thank you, always enjoy your content from a viewer in Texas, USA.
Awesome, thank you!
Asalam Alaikum Paul. You know about 20 yrs ago , Ashfaq Ahmed sahab a great author from Pakistan said something that I remember so vividly. He said Islam will rise again from the West. They will study it and practice it correctly. We , people of the East are followers. Listening to you reminds me of Ashfaq Sahab. May Allah bless him with Jannat ul firdous. And may Allah bless you for your effort. Ameen

Had the honour to invite Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad to my local mosque many years ago. A great sunni sufi scholar 🙂
Sufis are many and different schools. Most importantly, do they follow the approach and method of the Prophet Muhammad or not.
I watched Sheikh Othman Al-Khamis talk about Sufism in rent
Sufism on the scale - Sheikh Othman Al Khamees

A gem of ahle sunnah wal jammah in the UK, and a great practioner of the sciences of tasawuff (sufism)

Thank you “blogging theology team”
Fantastic discussion.
May Allah(swt) reward you for bringing this discussion to us.
May Allah(swt) raise the sheiks rank in this world and the hereafter.
this is early eid presents for me! jazakumullah khayran katsira
Two of my favourite Gentlemen to listen to, may they always be blessed and guided!
wow. This discussion was just incredible, really made my day!
👍❤️
Assalamualaikum... I've been watched shaykh's lecture and he is very knowledgeable about Islam thank Paul for inviting him to your channel. I really love your channel. Salam from Malaysia
Salam!
Thank you ever so much for presenting Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, a true luminary and a scholar in modern Islam. It is not easy to understand or follow the Shaykh's videos unless one has an insight knowledge in Islamic theology and Sufism, considered by many scholars as the heart of Islam.
What a wonderful and amazingly informative discussion. I had to pause it half way through to subscribe to Mr. Abdal Hakim Murad's youtube outlet which happens to be the "Cambridge Muslim college" channel.
I thank both of you for letting me have the chance to be a part of it. My deepest respect and applause for what you bring to the field as well as your characters.
May Allah SWT bless u both...
