My 2 Cents On Islamic Scholar - Sheikh Hamza Yusuf

Sheikh Hamza Yusuf - I have got to say that he is amongst my favorite Islamic scholars no doubt!

We need rationalist, educated, enlightened and passionate Muslims like him today to be the torch and flag bearers of the Ummah specially in times when we find ourselves under siege by the west.
I think his "Zaytuna" Institute in California, truly is a benchmark of Islamic enlightenment and truly a testament to profound vibrancy of Islam's eternal message for both Muslims and non-Muslims alike that helps resonate its perfection through the hearts and minds of people in more ways than one!


I strongly believe his revivalist ideas, his propagatory ambitions, his immense and utter intellectual perspectives, his profound and unwavering commitment to dialogue on religious, social, international and political levels, his gifted knowledge on contemporary issues and his inspiring research and analysis on issues facing the Ummah today and ways to counter those issues, truly and without a doubt make him one of the best Islamic Scholars that live today.

I have nothing but sheer respect, admiration and commendation for Sheikh Hamza Yusuf and I pray that May Allah (swt) bless him for all his Nobel efforts in this life and the hereafter!

Ameen!
