In this critical talk, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad evaluates our contemporary context by looking at the Enlightenment and its effects. He then reflects on Islam as the 'Religion of Nature', Dīn al-Fitrah, as a way to come back into harmony with the planet.

What impressive use of the English language! The eloquence is outta this world!
Yes I agree aw im relieved to see Im not the only one who did not understand everything.
As English is not my first language, i have to be very attentive in order to completely understand what he is saying. Undoubtedly, his eloquence is over the top.
Wasn't he a native English so there nothing special, btw english isn't my first language , do you mean not All native english speaker are educated?
I’m native English speaker - 99.9% of English people don’t speak eloquently like Sheik. Even politicians like Boris Johnson aren’t eloquent compared to Sheik Saab
@@dinorossi6611 better? No 2 different styles but alhamadullila 1 truth
With due respect to all comments, the Shaykh is one of the foremost scholars of Islam of the current period. He should be addressed with the utmost respect and should not be addressed as 'this guy'. If you google Timothy John Winter (The Shaykh's English name), you will know more. A lot of his speech is to do with Sufi related staff - the inward dimension of Islam or "the phenomenon of mysticism within Islam".
This man is a blessing to humanity
May Allah grant him a long and beautiful life.
Ameen
And Afterlife. Ameen
Ameen.
And a heavenly afterlife. Ameen sum ameen.
This lecture was Harira soup for the soul: nourishing and enlightening. Jazak Allah Khair
wow thank you of reminding me of this soup. I have learned about it last year and wrote down somewhere that I shall make it. It has evaded me.....until John Van Rooy's comment on youtube. Much appreciated haha
@@snekjuce Harira is the best soup for iftar.

Always eager for fresh rivers of wisdom gushing forth from this shaykhs blessed tongue and enlightening us💚💚💚.
So it's 3 months since this was released and I've watched it on day 1 and multiple times since and every time I watch this it's like I've never seen this talk. So much to unpack. There's new content with Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad and I'm legitimately procrastinating watching them because I'm still processing this talk.
I feel truly blessed and honoured to have Sheikh AbdalHakim as my teacher
Allah bless him with all the best and a healthy long and happy life
Alhamdulillah. Didn't understand everything, but the last few minutes, I'm guessing, summed it up beautifully. Blessings we have Islam, blessings to follow the sunnah...🌼
Such a priviledge to listen to you Shaikh. I am thinking very seriously about becoming a Muslim. ❤
I want to hear this lecture being given in the highest Arabic language 😊🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😊 bless you and Allah raise your rank oh Abdul Hakim Murad - what a beautiful name that is 🙏🙌🙌🙌
This sheikh is a treasure of our ummah.
so true, alhamdulillah!
SubhanAllah! You are like a bird flying above it all, Mashallah
It is really to have a spiritual feast while listening to you Sir...May Allah bless you with more of it with every passing moment.
Can still be elevated by his talks from my screen at home. That’s a great blessing in itself
Extraordinarily beautiful!
May Allah keep his feet steady. He is shedding light over the ummah.
It is very important and very necessary for English speaking people when programs like this is presented by good Muslim scientists in Islamic religion from their own nationality because thy are the only ones know very well what problems their society complains God help you ارجوا الله ان يكون في ميزان حسناتكم اجوا الاستمرار في مث هذه البرامج لكي تفيدون بها المسلمين الجدد
Please give this Shaikh a comfortable chair.
A yoga practitioner can sit with their back straight.
this is beautiful, alhamdulillah! listening to him - a modern day saint - is an ointment to my heart!
You mean ointment
@@Dante-uj5pc of course, sorry! jazakAllahu khayran!
With all the due respect for the Shaykh, I think he wouldn't think of himself as a Wali. But still a treasure for the Ummah.
May Allah bless you Sir.
You Won't realise how much i love Brother Abdal Hakim!!
THANKS and BLESSINGS Sh. Abdal Hakim Murad for your insight and enlightenment. Your breadth and depth of knowledge is truely a divine gift and a key for us listeners to enter more profoundly into the Islamic way.
I learned so much.. SubhannAllah
Deep lecture,, not to be taken lightly. Islam is the light and Allah almighty puts this lighting us.
@Sofine Mohammed was nothing of the sort, but contemporary Islamic texts describe him as such because they have been corrupted over the centuries. It's very sad, and very dangerous.
@Sofine As I said before, the Islamic texts have been corrupted. Mohammed did not have sex with children.
@Somack I'm wating for you to show me which religion ( if there is one to u) is the true one?
This guy is so clever sometimes i get a bit lost listening to him. Very interesting but he's very academic but perhaps the more you listen it may sharpen your brain a bit. But he's not always easy to understand unlike most of the other speakers who just speak in a way that's easy to understand. But what you czn glean is very beneficial.
I too get lost listening to him. Listening to him reminds me of a line from the book “Autobiography of Malcolm X“ where Malcolm X describes his poor vocabulary. The line goes. “every book I picked up had few sentences which didn’t contain anywhere from one to nearly all of the words that might as well have been in Chinese. When I just skipped those words, of course, I really ended up with little idea of what the book said."
For sure to get the meaning of Shayk’s lecture, the listeners can’t do something else while listening ..otherwise we Miss the points 🙂 because each of his chosen word many times uncommon to ordinary people outside groups of scholars. People who manage to understand many German words/names Shayk mentioned either they have studied German language and history or greek philosophy
I agree.But I find it delightful,having to investigate his parentheses😅
@@Beepassingby Lol oh get you! Sorry just joking 'AW yes he is so deep and academic so i mowtly listen to Mufti Menk or Omar Soliman or Yasmeen Muhaghed.among others who deliver uplifting messages.
But did the prophet peace be upon him not say to speak in a clear to understand language '
I love you dear sir , for his majesty !
(May ALLAH bless you and protect you).
Deep insights MashAllah. The parallel with shamanism to transcendentalism (the connection and the meanings behind the corporeal) felt internally illuminating. May Allah grant the sheikh, his family, our ummah Jannah and save us from the tribulations of the grave. I gotta read Goethe now.
Jazakallah Khair Shaik. I especially like the idea that Muslims limited Islam to a few sets of laws making it a strict ideology, and lost the bigger idea of Islam as the guidance for the human soul, as a philosophical approach to human life, as a bigger thing than just fiqh, as a human refuge from all kind of pollutions that connect human with God, the connection between Islam and human nature, environment, and ecology, etc. Subhanallah. I am surprised that this aspect of Islam was discussed and praised in Europe but forgotten. It is important to dig it out as Shaik is doing and present it and discuss it with the European academia.
I hope to one day be like this man.
So much love for him when im in england next I hope to see him just to thank him personally.
May Allah bless him that he know the true about Islam!!!!
🥰 great man
Hujat Al Islam for sure! Ashaaariyaaa for the win!! :P
Love you professor xo.
Masha Allah may Allah swt bless sheikh murad . Perfectly spoken
As always alhamdoulillah, very insightful and inspiring. I am impatiently waiting for Ramadan series for this year. I am sure that, bi idhni’Allahi taala, the lectures for Ramadan will be as rich and powerful as this one. May Allah bless you with good health and keep you safe for our Ummah.
Am speechless, what beautiful insight and use of knowledge on the Deen and nature, JazakAllah
May Allah bless oh brother 🤲🤲
Jazzakallahu khairan
Thank you for this thought provoking lecture. And the beautiful way how the Tawaf & recitation of the Quran is explained.
Nice and lovely 😊
Eloquent, erudite and knowledgeable MashAllah.
MassAllah Absolutely Amazing Speech Brother, Thank you, Also Absolutely Amazing Spoken English Language, Words Flow so Beautifully, My Allah Reward you for your Amazing Teachings.
He seems a chilled out person and doesn't try to change people
Asalamalikum May Allah’s blessings upon you and your families and people listening t following you inshallah Ameen بسم الله الر حمن الرحيم
Religion is for all knowledge and with an understanding of the best of experience of the creation.
Religion is a connection beyond desiring and psychological and material conditions, but upon their rights.
Tha shaykh is overwhelmingly brilliant. Each lecture cum lesson is like a fatwa to me in which he outdoes his earlier speeches .Mashallah he is a treasure 💖 with which we are so lucky to be blessed with .Alhamdolillah
حفظ الله الشيخ عبد الحكيم مراد وحفظ ذويه ونفع به وزاده من أفضاله
Islam is all about nature. In the way nature moves, such as the orbit of the moon and sun, and the heavens always shimming, the rain comes and purify the land, Muslims must also live in accordance and in harmony with nature and like the rain purify the soul with spiritual baths. I would definitely say that the people of the Amazon are Muslims, living in accordance with nature...Fisal Ally
I have found myself in these paradox too, My usage of the very mobile that I am using is also responsible for our annihilation, but what can I do? I have to adjust to their norms culture knowledge, otherwise I too am a remnant of the past. I cant get a job if I take your word and stop destroying nature. Soon I found out My very existence is the source of all problem. So I retorted to the only thing I could do inspired by kahlil Gibran " live and tell no one, people usually ruin beautiful things."

Sorry but you should write Maa Shaa ALLAH its three words.
He really does not like that big clock! I don't either! Salam.
At time 38:30, you spoke about the pilgrimage which is for the purification of the heart and having an inner and outer balance and not just an outer life as being attached to worldly pleasures. It's interesting what you said that when circumventing the Kabah, that you don't know where you are but it takes you into a focus, a focus of purifying the heart, and this is where you completely detach from the world and a rambling mind with all kinds of thoughts, and you are within and to remove distractions from the physical things, the buildings, the clocks, not to mention all of the ibliesks (illuminati pyramids every where now) to distract you, but to be there only for the purification of the heart, so we are completely detached from worldly things.

Salam Sidi
A call to revive and strengthen the timeless and psycho-spiritual attachment to the 'ship of salvation from the distant past'. One that embodies the primordial, monotheistic nature of Adamic man; which is both beautified and fortified with Prophetic guidelines; and purposefully, gracefully moves through the rough waters of this world; towards the final place of docking; the Hawd of the Prophet; peace and blessings be upon him; until the end of time..

Coming back to this video I find it funny how the solution is to go to the hills with a flock of sheep and to become self sustainable. In the modern sense this means taking back control of base level supply chains, such as food, and shifting production closer to the points at which those goods are consumed. Incredible Edible showed the way here on food supply chains and creating sustainable and autonomous communities at the village and small town level. What a fascinating time we live in! Thanks God!
I would love to see him take on renowned Atheist Richard Dawkins in a debate, he'd tear him apart.
Subhan Allah...this is the materialization of Allah's verses: Here you are - those invited to spend in the cause of Allah - but among you are those who withhold [out of greed]. And whoever withholds only withholds [benefit] from himself; and Allah is the Free of need, while you are the needy. And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you. Quran 47:38
Mauritanians do have this ability even though the Shaykh hasn't witnessed or can understand such a thing. But its a norm for certain people but for today it seems miraculous.
اللهم صل وسلم على سيدنا ومولانا محمد عبدك ورسولك النبي الأمي وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم
Precious observations :
The smaller circle - with the Gods prophets and messengers.
The larger circle - with the Kaaba the manifest focal point .
Indeed Islam is primordial. It is to add that Islam was with God in His book the day he created the heavens and earth .
We can find in Surah 9 : 36 .
My understanding of the lunar month
1. Moon is easier to keep the monthly account as against sun which needs astronomical knowledge
2. The date line runs through the kaaba
3. As they starts in Magrib, saudi Arabia gets the date first and others have to follow
4.The moon which is not visible in India is visible after a while at Macca.
5. We get confused by the English dates and Date line at Japan And also the GST.
These are my personal views. Open to discussion
Brother Anwar, your statement no. 3 is not correct, I'm afraid. Morocco and Mauritania, even further to the west(3 hours ahead in time zone), out of all the Muslim countries gets to view the moon before Saudi Arabia. We, in the west, should follow Morocco and Mauritania instead of Saudi Arabia but unfortunately, all the mosques are dominated, more or less by Saudi Arabian followers and they follow through with the Saudis' decisions.
Quran, chapter 112:
1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. And there is none like unto Him.
Chapter 2, Ayat 255:
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence.
Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep.
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.
Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission?
He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills.
His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not.
And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
اللهم صل غلى محمد

Wailaykum Salaam sis
I think he makes an astute observation of XR, the leading folk there are pagans and overtly practicing ones. Not all is what it seems with them there and I say that totally accepting of their grave concerns as to what our wider bad behaviour as a collective species is doing to global climate and eco systems. Our spiritual decline and fall out of personal balance has an aggregate effect and correspondence to the balance of the very divine systems like atmospheric rivers, the jet stream winds etc. that 'made the earth (as a planet) a stable place to live' . Alhamdulillah for these words, subhanakallahumma wabihamdika .
Without greed do you think you that you would be able to comment this on youtube? Food for thought
@@FerdousHasan-kk8hp assalumu alaikum ! On thinking of food I try to take a balanced diet, what with now entering middle age and not wanting to suffer some heart attack or worse from overeating! Salam.

Hello I'm limited in my speech currently. Just reiterate mimicry/wheat and tares and wait.
Is his lectures open for public, or is it only the college students that can attend ?
In my 0 humble opinion he is the Mujjadid of this age . Would CMC please comment on this
46:38 "dishing out little wafers" lol
I think in this day and age, we must respect but the way one person uses respect to tell others off is not in itself Islamic. Saying "the guy" doesn't actually suggest disrespecting especially when the person is showing more affection in his comment.
The Shaykh is beyond these self appointed criticisers of the other, I'm sure as you can feel through his magnanimous character and understanding that the trivia of just respecting him, without following what he follows and how he follows is what is of utmost importance.
I think more so of respect, like if someone is good at making good notes and making Professor TJ Winter's information very accessible in many other ways; would be more devotion for expressing respect, than just getting a stick out on the others.

Would you please mention the book about Goethe that was mentioned at 10:40?
Is it the translation of "West-Eastern Divan" by Eric Ormsby?
@@mr.h3737 Yes. Most likely.

Subha Allah I m 1000 th to like
Can you please add Turkish subtitles..
With respect I need to point out that Shaykh’s comment about Christianity not dealing with the body is incorrect at least for orthodox Christianity. Jonathan Pageau explains all that in his ‘Symbolic World ’ channel. An excellent resource if you care about learning what Christianity really says. I am not a Christian by the way just pointing out something based on my knowledge. Peace 🙏
Thank you for pointing this out. All divinely instituted religions are "complete", yet with different points of departure leading to sometimes different (yet still correct) points of view about a subject matter, points of view that may look irreconcilable but are in fact reconcilable at a deeper level.
O, how I wish that Shaykh Murad had mentioned the source of his version of the report about Sayyiduna Omar's statement about the Blackstone (Al-Hajar Al-Aswad)! Because Ali's response to Omar, which the Shaykh mentioned as part of the hadith, is no where to be found in the authentic Hadith collections.
Readers, please beware any narration in which Ali corrects Omar, because most probably such reports are fabrications by the Shia who based their religion on hating Abu Bakr and Omar. We the Sunnis believe that Omar's status, both in religious knowledge and in Eman, is far above that of Ali. That being said, we the Sunnis count Ali among our greatest Imams and we do seek Allah's pleasure by loving Ali.
Doctor,
What do you think about the possibility to marry a little girl in Islam?
Aicha was 6 years when she marred the prophète. And in the coran there no age to marry the child’s girls?

How can you kiss the black stone if the stone is inside the kabah. Nobody is kissing the black stone. Isn't he just kissing the kabah out of compassion that he loves the kabah which is the masjid? The Kabah is not the stone, the kabah is a Masjid and the Masjid is the center of the world, which is the house of Abraham...Fisal Ally
where from is Shekh Murad is adding Sahbihi Ajmaeen in the Salat Ala Muhamad wa aal muhamad?
Did he not read the Quran and understood that many of the "Sahaba" were spreading lies about the Rasool, that some have reverted back. that many have favored the majority of the infidel mushrik Quresih Tyrant who hated i'slam' an muslims. headed by the head of the Mushrikeen ALLAH said in Surat Yaseen 36 Ayat 7. لقد حق القول على اكثرهم فهم لا يؤمنون ( Already the word has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe.)
(...) rebellion?
Salaams. The number of comments that relay the difficulty in understanding should not make the commenting person feel deficient. Rather, it is upon the teacher to bring himself down to the level of the student and audience in order that they understand what he is conveying. That is a trait of the Prophet (Peace be upon him), that he would adapt himself accordingly, not continue without stopping to ask whether the audience understands. Elequonce in the English language is futile and unimpressive if the audience does not understand the content. Further, the English language is not the the be all and end all of excellence. The British Empire and its many crimes against the world including enforcing 'Britishness' as THE standard of civility and excellence does not render our own mother-tongues and languages any less inferior.
The audience should also be advised that this Shaykh's teachings are heavily influenced from Sufi sources. Sufism and its pacifistic practices as we all know came many years after the death of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) and after the perfection of Islam was firmly cemented.
The desire for power in excess caused the angels to fall, the desire for knowledge in excess caused humans to fall
At time 34:20, you said that prayers have more to do with the sun more than the moon. I just want to make this statement. It made sense to get up early in Mecca and to go to work and that was when the sun is rising, and that's about nature, because for one, you had a goodnight sleep. Then you do your last prayer as the sun go down and not long after people would go to sleep and get a goodnight rest, ready to work hard teh next day when the sun is rising. So the sun was used for timing, and back then there were no clocks. Now when you are let's say in Canada and Europe and have to get up at two Am in the morning to make your fast and to do the Fajr prayer because the sun comes up about 3am, that makes no sense if this is about nature, because the majority of the people will not go out to work at 3am, so this is not about nature anymore in places like Canada, because with nature also comes a good period for resting the body and rejuvenating the body. So people go back to sleep which makes no sense, and then get up back at 6am to get ready for work. This should change, because when you get up is when you should do Fajr morning prayer and after that get ready for work and not for sleep again. Fajr prayers around 6 am, Zuhr at Noon etc... eisha prayer at 7pm, throughout the year makes more sense, when we are taking about nature. If you are way up north, it's mainly daylight and all kinds of theories have to be brought in because there's no sunset and sunrise...Fisal Ally
@@ponderingspirit the further north you go, there's no dark period to distinguish between night and day. According to the Quran there has to be a dark period. Way up north, it can be daylight 24 hours a day. I wonder if this really means, that people shouldn't be living so far north?
@@allycat5892 if you live in a place like that where its constant day or night for months on end, you follow the closet place where time is normal as prescribed by the Nabi s.a.w
Look.....and listen world of Dajjal
Why do all English converts to Islam start to look like a cross between The English Patient and Lawrence of Arabia.
@@ponderingspirit It seems that way. English converts take on an attire that apparently goes back to the false prophet Mumo. It is a do as Mumo did religion if you take the Quran seriously. It is amazing more child and slave bothering isn't going on than it already is.
@@ponderingspirit LOL. I alter the proverts name because of the censorship of DhimmyTube, not because his sock puppet god is preventing me.
It is a shame ilah did not protect the child wife of Mumo from his lecherous gaze and malicious grip. It also did not protect his adopted son's wife from being lusted after either. It is no wonder Mumo ended up with sea-men his child bride had to scrape off his beautiful and elegant attire as recorded in sahih hadith.
It is funny that even though I alter the name, you know the peddler of lies I am talking about.
Sorry mate, but can you get to the point... I am lost in all your diversions...
