im a new revert alhamdelillah. i used to play video games a lot, listen to music, smoke weed..... let me tell you it might feel good in the moment but at the end of the day, you feel empty and you feel depressed. I love this lecture because he hits everything spot on. When I have children insh a Allah i won't allow tv/violent games, However it is very important as Muslims to have good fun safe alternatives, otherwise the kids will end up going to all of this bad stuff.
Brother I will give you a remedy. Find your favourite reciter of Quran (mine is Minshawi in maqaam Nahawand). Listen to the recitation, find those portions (may take a few weeks) which impact and move the heart. Next stage listen to these portions, repeated over and over again, hours a day, till the tears start streaming. This will undo the damage that music had done to the heart, and soon, insha Allah, after a year or two the heart will no longer desire music. This is a treatment I came upon by accidentally and I no longer listen to music with intent for a decade now. The Quran is a cure.

SORRY 4 CAPS, I'M NEW TO ISLAM, I'M A WHITE SKINNED BLUE EYE AMERICAN WHO LOVES ISLAM. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD RESEARCH, I KNOW IT HAS TO TAKE A TOLL ON YOUR SPIRITUAL QUEST. THANK U AGAIN
Asalaamu'alaikum brother , i want to say i will remember you in my duas but i am so weak, lemme say, may Allah help me to remember you in my prayers, and my Allah bless us both in this life and the hereafter ameen.
As a young adult who lived in North America most of his life, I watched this video for the first time a few years ago. It opened my eyes to not only the influence of the media on the world but also how almost each of these things effected me in a negative way from the age of 10 onwards. I am 26 now and have learned to be more wary of these things. InshAllah, I hope Allah allows all the young muslims like me who got trapped by music, movies, gaming, etc. to see it for what it is -- just another distraction to keep us from our true goal to worship Allah. Ameen.
We never had a TV in our parents home. After marriage I and my husband decided not to have one. Yet today the greatest fitna is the internet. I'm battling it all the time and I pray to Allah to grant me strength to overcome the obsession and have mercy on my family and the Muslim youth. May Allah guide all those Muslims who are addicted to gaming, pornography, etc. Ameen
I have a problem with video games, especially war games. Just realized I have 4,000 hours playtime (i saw it on the program log), that is 166 days!! and I only know 3 Surahs!! What the hell!! I even forgot Arabic. This is a wake up call for me
This is so scary, the way we normalise all this music, films, games and downplay the seriousness of them and the impact they can have, not realising how harmful they are. May Allah protect us all, ameen.
So much intelligence , insight and spiritual refinement in the mind, soul and heart of this man makes him the true guide of the young muslim community ! Mâ Shâ Allâh

Dear Hazma Yūsuf, I don’t know if you know my mom through your scholars but I think you know her because she talks about you. My mom is Erim Chaudhury and she studied with Habib Ali. I find your speeches inspirational because I did an experiment with listening to music and the Quran at the same time and I’ve realized it’s true. For some reason my soul can hear it differently now. Hell’s sounds is being played within it.

At first, I wondered WHY Allah SWT let me wander SO far into the dark before calling me back to His service. Why I lived with sorrow in my heart for so many years. I had wished I never knew these things. But I have come to understand. As quickly as others are running away from their fitra...I am running towards mine. I appreciate with my whole heart the love and light Allah SWT showed me when He answered my call that filled that hole in my heart and now want to fill it more each day. My sincerest thanks for your tireless efforts to warn the ummah of what we're up against. JazakAllah khayran to ALL who strive in the way of Islam!

So rightly said Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, "The Jihad of this age is between EARS because this is the battlefield is the MIND of the HUMAN being and the EXTENSION OF THE HEART"
You are very sophisticated sheikh I cannot stop listening to your interpretations which makes me think, and i hope your word gets further and helps people.
I as a muslim, raised in a European culture and born gamer, I just couldn't stomach all of this information, I knew I was wrong but it's just like someone else watching tv, or reading a book. Also if you enjoy it it's not really a waste if time.. but respect to the sheikh he speaks the truth wether you like it or not
As a teacher I applaud you! I wish there were more young people who strive to gain knowledge! Your on the righteous path. Keep going. Read as much as you can. Good luck.
it's incredible how relevant this lecture is today, in this time of near societal collapse and the race riots, a global pandemic and global financial meltdown. We have to heed these warnings, but i fear it may be too late. may Allah (SWT) protect us all
This is my second or third time listening to this lecture. I have a good friend that I pray will watch this someday. I pray He will wake up and see the true evil of this world ... To just take steps toward God and not fall into Satan's trap. I think if people would just give this a little thought and ask God for guidance, He would guide them.
Arfina Amin Islamic videos are also hard core music. Jihaddists use the the same style when reading the quranic verses during the ritual of cutting people's heads.
@@yasirahmed1707 I'm talking about the killing verses of the Quran supported by examples of Muhammad's massacre of his own tribe as detailed in Hadith where true muslims shouted Allahakbar and recited the quran verses of sword relating to cutting people's heads.
@@thornados4969 I am also referring to Bush and Obama's speeches on world peace by killing millions and starving millions to death. Oh wait a minute Obama also got a Nobel Peace prize for doing that Nobel deed.
الحمدالله ربا العالمين ما شاءالله May Allah bless Sheikh Hamza and protect all our youths and may Allah open the hearts of our young people to understand the noble Quran and the salaath !!! AhMeen !!!!!
Allah (SWT) bless Sheikh Hamza, what a powerful lesson, I know this lesson a few years old, and I know things have gotten even worse, God help us. For those of you that pushed the dislike button, are you following and enjoying the steps of shaytan? there was nothing that he said that was not true. We need teachers like him to remind us of what is happening.
...the way Sheikh pronaunces Arabic keep amazing me. WOW...and then that is the keyword I needed to hear NUMEROLOGY...since a year ago number 49 keeps popping up in front of my eyes.. !? بارك الله بك يا شيخ!
i played games while listening to lectures. i made sure to play games that are lacking in too much attention so i can give a lot more to the lecture.. so i guess logic in one own
As-Salaamu-Alaikum, my first time hearing, Sheikh Hamza Yueuf. Truly amazing. Pleas if he has any books published please inform me. May ALLAH reward you all. WOW!!!!!!!!!.

This things about Islam the signs of the ends days need to taught in Islamic class and Jummah Kutba. Hamza Yusef is one of the best Muslims of this generation.
O realy admire the Sheihk for giveing us this information masha Allah very proud of Sheihk..May Allah bless him in abandunce i nsha Allah ...Ameen..🌿🌱🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌷🌿🌷
This is a very important point, every Muslim recites and is required to recite these words before reading the Holy Quran, "auzubillah minash shaitan e rajeem" meaning "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan". Non Muslims dont know this and dont recite it, and then read parts of the Quran and get deceived and deviated from the message in the Quran and start misquoting.
and this is not only for reading the Holy Quran, its whenever we have impure thoughts or impure feelings, or anger etc, so we recite this all the time.
I never thought about TV and Music like that, it's so mad. I'm defo homeschooling my children in the future and hopefully not keeping a TV at home in'sha'Allah
My guess,, It's normal progression for someone in his position to become more conservative as he ages. He's getting closer to meet his maker and has less patience and energy to get the message out. Also, his children are getting older and about to have grandchildren.
Everything Yusuf Hamza says I already know. I figured all this out once I got older and wisdom knowledge and understanding came to me by God. Many comments are like " you so right" well duhh his right.
The moment I started remembering my dreams the morning after I realized all the junk my mind was being fed, most of it even passively just passing by TVs, random jingles, ads, and images. Some of the dreams are so sick and frightening, it’s scary to imagine it’s coming out your own subconscious. I had this disgusting dream that a yellow cat with no arms and legs was going door to door to seek shelter and I kept closing each door and saying no to it every time it was such a sick dream full of ugly sights of dismemberment and disgust I have no idea how I can even have dreams like that. I definitely have less dreams like that once you pay more attention, seek protection, and limit yourself to content like this. But it’s hard work! Definitely.
Subhan Allah may Allah give him the heighest station in Janna. His interpretation and analysis is so deep it takes your brains to places that you would never ever go there...he takes you places Subhan Allah he is Lord's gift to us..Alhamdulliah
The problem with TV and social media etc. is that it is so time consuming and a total distraction from reaching a spiritual state. From reaching a closeness to Allah. People don’t sit and just ponder anymore. People don’t wonder anymore. Just by observing people who watch TV or on their phones one can easily see how distracted they are. They won’t even here you, when you call them. The ”black box” pulls you in and it literally grabs and holds you like a devil. What happened to our society is a shame. We’re loosing every aspect that makes us human. Humans are not supposed to be antisocial beings who are on their phones all day. Doing nothing but staring on a black screen. Becoming nothing in life...
Shaykh is right, I was playing a lot of games as a child, and it really hurt me in the long run. I mis-prioritized and self-sabotaged my life carelessly. I enjoy games, but I realize there is a lot of life to miss out on, and I'm a lot happier, I'm reading, exercising, studying. I do think that there is something deeply problematic about the materialism, violence, sexually explicit overtones. I also think it is possible to craft good games and experiences, I like Nintendo, and some of the more kid friendly stuff, but I'm old now, I'm not a kid, I just don't have the time. I was never interested in the GTA or FPS shooters to begin with. I only recently in the last few years managed to shake myself out of it, and I'm really reluctant to pick up something new, for fear of getting sucked back into it.
I also think that video games can be highly artistic, and the discourse around video games is very black and white; Either it's benign, or it's the spawn of the devil, nothing in between. I don't think video games are responsible for/cause violence. I simply think they are an outlet for aggressive tendencies, possibly destructive ones, and that the discourse surrounding video-games is quite divisive, and it doesn't need to be. People are violent, and art reflects people. The types of games are broad and far reaching, there are puzzle games, action, adventure, role-playing games, tactical, board games, real time strategy, fighting, platforming, shooter, point and click, card games, arcade, 3rd Person, Indie. While it's true that FPS games are the most popular genre right now, the beauty about creating simulations is we can dream something better, and we should. I deeply respect/love Shaykh HY, but I also think that there is a lot of potential for VGs. Skepticism is good, I don't think it's so clear cut to paint with broad brush strokes.
@@tesselationstation i love hamzah yusuf but watching things like this (black and white) categorising makes me hate myself really, i mean what should i do sit all day pray in masjid and read quran, even hamazah yusuf doesnt do that, sometimes we need to take things lightely and its good to fire up some game online and just play for a while. I have tried before to stop lisnteting to music and movies and videogames for several years, i was super religious, was feeling great for a while, but with time i got depression severe depression, and almost lost all my hobbies, ended up feeling a void like no other, like everyday is just a drag... the common man like us is not a sheikh, we are not travelling the world for dawah or having a college to run like sheikh hamzah yusuf, not everyone is destin to be a sheikh, straight up, so i think the best thing we can do is being in the middle, i cannot live like hamzah yusuf even if i tried, the guy is a genius and have studied islam from one of the biggest ulama in our times (in the malaki sect), i mean if i had his genius and got oppurtinity to study with an alim i would not have time to play videogames anyway, and i will be having little to no knowldge about it which is apparent when he addressed videgames, Mind you my comment could b a cope... an excuse i make to tell myself to avoid what hes saying and presenting, allah knows best.

@@tesselationstation yes you can increase knowledge by hard work and discipline, but not everyone will be einstein, im good at sports naturally gifted in physical things, i know my strengths. You seem like u went straight to "judge mode" for what i said instead of continuing on the main topic of video games, im not looking for sympathy or encouragement, was speaking my mind.

Assalamu alaykom wa rahma'tullah, I can see the relation, however, Hannah is the name of the mother of Maryam [as], so we have to be careful and not go too far. Jazaka Allahu khayran wa barak Allahu feeke.
He was saying that people that worship the devil like to read back wards, and in this case her name was hannah which wasn't her real. But also I'm a Muslim and my daughters name is hannah but we didn't use it for that purpose.
Hamza Yusuf, oh wow! Alhumdulillah! I didn't know the sheikh had married a latin queen! Masha'llah! Just curious, what country is she or her background from???
The level of the trials are too great we need guidance from Ruh, The Spirit of God. If we try ourselves with just our brain and our knowledge we're going to be bewildered, some will have mental disorder
kudo you do not realize because you are BRAINWASH there is no afterlife there is no evidence. And there is nothing wrong with music or freedom freedom does not mean that people have to misbehave.And if there is a god I have nothing to prove I am a good person do no harm to anyone.But to think all the time, God would be happy with how I live is terrible And Muslims are so scared that they will go to hell, that is absurd.

Slowly start watching these lectures (I would highly recommend Abu Bakr Zoud, Hasan Ali, and Ali Hammuda's lectures), learn about the quran (tafseer - Abu Bakr Zoud has a playlist for the tafseer for all the surahs in the 30th Juz which are highly beneficial), start watching Yasir Qadhi's seerah (biography) of the Prophet SAW
I had the same question but yeah doing that, learning about Allah's names (which I also need to do but Hasan Ali discusses about Allah's names in detail) and learning about the other prophets; trust me it will keep you busy. And also always try to memorize a surah. A surah in a week if it's short. I'm not saying that I do all of that, but I'm saying that I try to do even 1 of them. But I hope that these will be of help for you inshallah.
Solitude is an amazing gift for humans beings. Solitude is an amazing opportunity for people to reflect on themselves and the environment around them. Some times at home when I am with family or friends, even when we are not talking just living amongst each other, I would feel like I can't really think because I am sometimes too conscious of others around me. So for me personally, there is a great benefit to solitude. Many messengers, or even philosophers and scientists of all sorts etc. have received or discovered enlightening knowledge whilst in a time of solitude.

Thank you for bringing out the 'malady of relativity'. If we don't have a spine of steel formed by High Principles, which hold us Up and Straight, we are bound to deviate. High Principles NEVER CHANGE with 'modern views, etc. Like 'Do not do unto others, what you wouldn't like others to do unto you.' It is clear, it is eternal, if one practice just that commandment Jesus gave us, you will never wrong anyone and your life will have the quality only a pure heart aligned to God's ways can give us. We just have to adhere to High Values and Principles given to us by God, not make up our own relative, or adapt to 'whatever everybody is doing'. Thank you again. I am an Epichristian, which means Above What is now known as 'Christianity, which Allah warns you against saying, 'Do not befriend, those Christians, and dJews who befriend each other/. What is called 'Christian' in our days, it hurts me to say it, but has nothing to do with Christendom as taught by Jesus. The Vatican has been invaded by demons and is now - as Vladimir Putin publicly said - under the control of a very dangerous man who is taking advantage of his position to establish a global system of Communism. Thank God Putin dares to go beyond politics and speak the Truth. You have the Koran, which has never changed. That is a magnificent record and I feel part of the strength that holds a true Moslem up right. I descend from someone that had a strong respect for the Principles that hold Islam strong. He and Saladin were respectful of each other, although each one found himself holding war against each other., Saladin gave him a name for which he was known afterwards, it is Saladin who called him 'El Cid' name for which he was later known. I enjoy very much the intelligence of your teachings and welcome the fact that they are available to all of us, Thank you again. I stay in Peace and wish you the best for helping people to be aware that their consiousness is in great danger.

So rightly said Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, "The Jihad of this age is between EARS because this is the battlefield is the MIND of the HUMAN being and the EXTENSION OF THE HEART"
You are very sophisticated sheikh I cannot stop listening to your interpretations which makes me think, and i hope your word gets further and helps people.
Sheikh Hamza Yusuf is in a league of his own. We are so lucky to have him in our Ummah. May Allah (SWT) protect him. (copy-pasted from @bluegarson)
I as a muslim, raised in a European culture and born gamer, I just couldn't stomach all of this information, I knew I was wrong but it's just like someone else watching tv, or reading a book. Also if you enjoy it it's not really a waste if time.. but respect to the sheikh he speaks the truth wether you like it or not
" born gamer" man what a statement 😂
@@moayad80 bro allhamdullilah, I tried many times to overcome but Allah has finally answered my call and keeps me away from it
"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted."
John Lennon said that. Remember him from the lecture? Find peace in'sha'Allah.
@ Zain Shaikhzadeh I’m pretty sure John Lenon stole that quote from someone who said it before.
Subhanallah! One of the smartes brothers walking on earth! Cant stop listen!
The only thing I really do is watch TH-cam and watch lectures that’s it I’m 16 so really I don’t do anything eles as a young man
As a teacher I applaud you! I wish there were more young people who strive to gain knowledge! Your on the righteous path. Keep going. Read as much as you can. Good luck.
Mashallah good on you try doing natural things like fishing sports reading books its really nice.
Start playing some sport as well
Mc *You can get A+ in High School now as have TIME to study. MashaAllah. Get a great coach to teach how to get all "A+". AMEEN!!
Stop with the flexing
it's incredible how relevant this lecture is today, in this time of near societal collapse and the race riots, a global pandemic and global financial meltdown. We have to heed these warnings, but i fear it may be too late. may Allah (SWT) protect us all
This is my second or third time listening to this lecture. I have a good friend that I pray will watch this someday. I pray He will wake up and see the true evil of this world ... To just take steps toward God and not fall into Satan's trap. I think if people would just give this a little thought and ask God for guidance, He would guide them.
This is an amazing video. After watching this I had quit listening to music
MaShahAllah..... May Allah make it easy for you.....
Arfina Amin Islamic videos are also hard core music. Jihaddists use the the same style when reading the quranic verses during the ritual of cutting people's heads.
@@thornados4969 While cutting the heads of innocent people of Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, America and NATO also sang the peace and prosperity songs.
@@yasirahmed1707 I'm talking about the killing verses of the Quran supported by examples of Muhammad's massacre of his own tribe as detailed in Hadith where true muslims shouted Allahakbar and recited the quran verses of sword relating to cutting people's heads.
@@thornados4969 I am also referring to Bush and Obama's speeches on world peace by killing millions and starving millions to death. Oh wait a minute Obama also got a Nobel Peace prize for doing that Nobel deed.
الحمدالله ربا العالمين ما شاءالله
May Allah bless Sheikh Hamza and protect all our youths and may Allah open the hearts of our young people to understand the noble Quran and the salaath !!!
AhMeen !!!!!
Allah (SWT) bless Sheikh Hamza, what a powerful lesson, I know this lesson a few years old, and I know things have gotten even worse, God help us. For those of you that pushed the dislike button, are you following and enjoying the steps of shaytan? there was nothing that he said that was not true. We need teachers like him to remind us of what is happening.
It’s clear as day light 💯
Why didn't i find these kind of videos/lectures earlier when my kids were much younger 😳
It's never too late. Alhamdulillah
mujtabaahmad ahmad ko Ohio o opinion oûû my
One of the brave soldiers with balls - is bro Hamza Yusuf !!!
Shame I don't see other Muslims rise like him and speak truth!
It is easier to lie to somebody than to convince one, we live in a very corrupted world, be safe and may allah swt guide and help you in your Life
...the way Sheikh pronaunces Arabic keep amazing me. WOW...and then that is the keyword I needed to hear NUMEROLOGY...since a year ago number 49 keeps popping up in front of my eyes.. !?
بارك الله بك يا شيخ!
*LONG OVERDUE LECTURE. JazakallahKheir. i wish have millions to sponsor great programs like this. Please make DUA!!*
Great sheigh great speech, very powerfull!!! Alhamdoullileh!! We must remember this speech every 6 months.
This changed my life
i played games while listening to lectures. i made sure to play games that are lacking in too much attention so i can give a lot more to the lecture.. so i guess logic in one own
Thank you hamza for this beautiful lecture. If you can add subtitle it will be perfect!
Sheikh Hamza Yusuf is so right, Alhamdulillah, Masha Allah. Allah yahdina ala tariq al mustaqeem.
Islam is just stoning kissing, donkey flying, ant talking, moon splitting nonsense ....
I am still young hamdoulillah and I stopped watching TV since a long time.
❤💛❤
Good for you, Barak Allah feeki
I haven't stopped TV and music but I try and listen to good things. I never watch things with profanity - well i try
As-Salaamu-Alaikum, my first time hearing, Sheikh Hamza Yueuf. Truly amazing. Pleas if he has any books published please inform me. May ALLAH reward you all. WOW!!!!!!!!!.
Purification of the Heart: Signs, Symptoms and Cures of the Spiritual Diseases of the Heart

Two books by Hamza
i watched that Video many times the last 6 Years ! Alhamdulillah, Thank you so much !
America and Uk got best Islamic talent.I hope with in 50 years Islamic center will be USA and Uk
Ameen...
Islam is the truth n complete submission to Almighty Allah SWT...
@mustafe Ali when you speak like this to others you make yourself and others who people associate with you make them look bad and evil. Does your religion not forbid foul language? Speak good or remain silent. Don't be an ignorant fool
@Jesus, name above all names hello my dear sweety, seems like your bible is so pure right yes very very pure,holy... judges 19.25 gang bang😆.2 samuel16.22 with father's wives🙄
@Jesus, name above all names how pure of you and your faith😄
While we were yet sinner, Christ died for us bro why are you disrespecting the Prophet pbuh? Please don’t do such things and mock him. Be respectful at the very least brother 👍🏼
This things about Islam the signs of the ends days need to taught in Islamic class and Jummah Kutba. Hamza Yusef is one of the best Muslims of this generation.
O realy admire the Sheihk for giveing us this information masha Allah very proud of Sheihk..May Allah bless him in abandunce i nsha Allah ...Ameen..🌿🌱🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌷🌿🌷

Alhamdulillah,I watched this video repeatedly,it is one of his best lectures, may Allah be pleased with brother Hamza efforts ❤
This is 6 years ago, now things are far more explicit.
Ney and kanun(qanun) are the best tunes which will set your mood and frequency right! When you listen, you will feel the peace in your heart and soul.
But when it came to music industry everything change 360 and lead people to astray.
I'm a Shia but I really liked this lecture, we need to wake up
Since watching this speech I'm watching things in a different light. Now I can see the symbolism definately.
Asc may Allah grant you long life with a great deed I love you logic. I watch your lectures many times you open my eyes each time I watch them.
This is a very important point, every Muslim recites and is required to recite these words before reading the Holy Quran, "auzubillah minash shaitan e rajeem" meaning "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan". Non Muslims dont know this and dont recite it, and then read parts of the Quran and get deceived and deviated from the message in the Quran and start misquoting.
and this is not only for reading the Holy Quran, its whenever we have impure thoughts or impure feelings, or anger etc, so we recite this all the time.
Bright Star that’s exactly what’s happening to them
Allahumma sholli ala sayyidina Muhammad, waalaa alii sayyidina Muhammad.
Fitn means trials and tribulations
Listening to this about 6 years later and 46:20 is sadly still our position.
I never thought about TV and Music like that, it's so mad. I'm defo homeschooling my children in the future and hopefully not keeping a TV at home in'sha'Allah
I kinda miss the young Hamza Yusuf!
My guess,, It's normal progression for someone in his position to become more conservative as he ages. He's getting closer to meet his maker and has less patience and energy to get the message out. Also, his children are getting older and about to have grandchildren.
Everything Yusuf Hamza says I already know. I figured all this out once I got older and wisdom knowledge and understanding came to me by God.
Many comments are like " you so right" well duhh his right.
May Allah bless shaykh Hamza. He is a true blessing to this ummah.
Alhamdulilah!
The moment I started remembering my dreams the morning after I realized all the junk my mind was being fed, most of it even passively just passing by TVs, random jingles, ads, and images. Some of the dreams are so sick and frightening, it’s scary to imagine it’s coming out your own subconscious. I had this disgusting dream that a yellow cat with no arms and legs was going door to door to seek shelter and I kept closing each door and saying no to it every time it was such a sick dream full of ugly sights of dismemberment and disgust I have no idea how I can even have dreams like that. I definitely have less dreams like that once you pay more attention, seek protection, and limit yourself to content like this. But it’s hard work! Definitely.
Great lecture. Mashaallah
Subhan Allah may Allah give him the heighest station in Janna. His interpretation and analysis is so deep it takes your brains to places that you would never ever go there...he takes you places Subhan Allah he is Lord's gift to us..Alhamdulliah
The problem with TV and social media etc. is that it is so time consuming and a total distraction from reaching a spiritual state. From reaching a closeness to Allah. People don’t sit and just ponder anymore. People don’t wonder anymore. Just by observing people who watch TV or on their phones one can easily see how distracted they are. They won’t even here you, when you call them. The ”black box” pulls you in and it literally grabs and holds you like a devil. What happened to our society is a shame. We’re loosing every aspect that makes us human. Humans are not supposed to be antisocial beings who are on their phones all day. Doing nothing but staring on a black screen. Becoming nothing in life...
*hear
Hamza Yusuf Is a lion of our ummah. god bless him
Shaykh is right, I was playing a lot of games as a child, and it really hurt me in the long run. I mis-prioritized and self-sabotaged my life carelessly. I enjoy games, but I realize there is a lot of life to miss out on, and I'm a lot happier, I'm reading, exercising, studying. I do think that there is something deeply problematic about the materialism, violence, sexually explicit overtones. I also think it is possible to craft good games and experiences, I like Nintendo, and some of the more kid friendly stuff, but I'm old now, I'm not a kid, I just don't have the time. I was never interested in the GTA or FPS shooters to begin with. I only recently in the last few years managed to shake myself out of it, and I'm really reluctant to pick up something new, for fear of getting sucked back into it.
I also think that video games can be highly artistic, and the discourse around video games is very black and white; Either it's benign, or it's the spawn of the devil, nothing in between. I don't think video games are responsible for/cause violence. I simply think they are an outlet for aggressive tendencies, possibly destructive ones, and that the discourse surrounding video-games is quite divisive, and it doesn't need to be. People are violent, and art reflects people. The types of games are broad and far reaching, there are puzzle games, action, adventure, role-playing games, tactical, board games, real time strategy, fighting, platforming, shooter, point and click, card games, arcade, 3rd Person, Indie. While it's true that FPS games are the most popular genre right now, the beauty about creating simulations is we can dream something better, and we should. I deeply respect/love Shaykh HY, but I also think that there is a lot of potential for VGs. Skepticism is good, I don't think it's so clear cut to paint with broad brush strokes.
VidAngel, look it up
@@tesselationstation i love hamzah yusuf but watching things like this (black and white) categorising makes me hate myself really, i mean what should i do sit all day pray in masjid and read quran, even hamazah yusuf doesnt do that, sometimes we need to take things lightely and its good to fire up some game online and just play for a while. I have tried before to stop lisnteting to music and movies and videogames for several years, i was super religious, was feeling great for a while, but with time i got depression severe depression, and almost lost all my hobbies, ended up feeling a void like no other, like everyday is just a drag... the common man like us is not a sheikh, we are not travelling the world for dawah or having a college to run like sheikh hamzah yusuf, not everyone is destin to be a sheikh, straight up, so i think the best thing we can do is being in the middle, i cannot live like hamzah yusuf even if i tried, the guy is a genius and have studied islam from one of the biggest ulama in our times (in the malaki sect), i mean if i had his genius and got oppurtinity to study with an alim i would not have time to play videogames anyway, and i will be having little to no knowldge about it which is apparent when he addressed videgames, Mind you my comment could b a cope... an excuse i make to tell myself to avoid what hes saying and presenting, allah knows best.
@@Phantom-ez4zv Insh'Allah, Ameen, may Allah SWA facilitate for you, and strengthen your resolve and discipline, and across the Ummah. Genius takes work, and habit.
@@tesselationstation yes you can increase knowledge by hard work and discipline, but not everyone will be einstein, im good at sports naturally gifted in physical things, i know my strengths. You seem like u went straight to "judge mode" for what i said instead of continuing on the main topic of video games, im not looking for sympathy or encouragement, was speaking my mind.
This this needs to be taught everywhere
.mASHALLAH, THIS REALLY OPENED MY EYES UP, THANKS FOR THIS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SPEECH, JUST 900 LIKES ITSELFS SHOWS THAT HOW MUCH SHAITAN HAS DOOMED PEOPLE
Probably the best video on TH-cam. I encourage others to also watch the Army of Satan series.
that shekh is amazing great scholar.
If there is devil, there is God too
If there is bad, there is good too
Assalamu alaykom wa rahma'tullah, I can see the relation, however, Hannah is the name of the mother of Maryam [as], so we have to be careful and not go too far. Jazaka Allahu khayran wa barak Allahu feeke.
He was saying that people that worship the devil like to read back wards, and in this case her name was hannah which wasn't her real. But also I'm a Muslim and my daughters name is hannah but we didn't use it for that purpose.
Sheikh Hamza greatest love respect for you since you are delivering and exuding greatest love for our prophet saw. What u say captures my soul
Really this lecture shakedown my soul..
Listening to shaykh in Ramadan 2021 ❤️
BTW, the Shaykh is married to a Hispanic woman.
Hamza Yusuf, oh wow! Alhumdulillah! I didn't know the sheikh had married a latin queen! Masha'llah! Just curious, what country is she or her background
from???
How can I contact him . I want to be his student !! Help me out here
@@RizwanAhmad-jt4el , try reaching out to ZAYTOONA UNIVERSITY. He is the president of that institution I believe. I hope this helps you akhi.
@@johnrodriguez9839 thanks alot :) :)
Not to be bad...so what if he is married to a Hispanic woman🤣 I enjoy his lectures but y is this information necessary
What a great teaching why People's not talking about this lecture
Jazak Allah the heaven, you exposed them very well! now you do not forget to protect yourself with ( morning and evening "Zekir")

رحمت الله عليك وعلى والديك يا شيخ حمزه
I hope he visits Minneapolis the Somali community love him here💗
The level of the trials are too great we need guidance from Ruh, The Spirit of God. If we try ourselves with just our brain and our knowledge we're going to be bewildered, some will have mental disorder

Mystic Trader44 Guidance only comes from Allah.
kudo think you are the slave of backward medieval rituals and customs.
kudo you do not realize because you are BRAINWASH there is no afterlife there is no evidence. And there is nothing wrong with music or freedom freedom does not mean that people have to misbehave.And if there is a god I have nothing to prove I am a good person do no harm to anyone.But to think all the time, God would be happy with how I live is terrible And Muslims are so scared that they will go to hell, that is absurd.
6:51 Allah says: fight with the tools YOU have been fought with "The Mind" is the Battlefield now days

Slowly start watching these lectures (I would highly recommend Abu Bakr Zoud, Hasan Ali, and Ali Hammuda's lectures), learn about the quran (tafseer - Abu Bakr Zoud has a playlist for the tafseer for all the surahs in the 30th Juz which are highly beneficial), start watching Yasir Qadhi's seerah (biography) of the Prophet SAW
I had the same question but yeah doing that, learning about Allah's names (which I also need to do but Hasan Ali discusses about Allah's names in detail) and learning about the other prophets; trust me it will keep you busy.
And also always try to memorize a surah. A surah in a week if it's short.
I'm not saying that I do all of that, but I'm saying that I try to do even 1 of them. But I hope that these will be of help for you inshallah.
Doing the opposite
Solitude is an amazing gift for humans beings. Solitude is an amazing opportunity for people to reflect on themselves and the environment around them. Some times at home when I am with family or friends, even when we are not talking just living amongst each other, I would feel like I can't really think because I am sometimes too conscious of others around me. So for me personally, there is a great benefit to solitude. Many messengers, or even philosophers and scientists of all sorts etc. have received or discovered enlightening knowledge whilst in a time of solitude.

Thank you for bringing out the 'malady of relativity'. If we don't have a spine of steel formed by High Principles, which hold us Up and Straight, we are bound to deviate. High Principles NEVER CHANGE with 'modern views, etc. Like 'Do not do unto others, what you wouldn't like others to do unto you.' It is clear, it is eternal, if one practice just that commandment Jesus gave us, you will never wrong anyone and your life will have the quality only a pure heart aligned to God's ways can give us. We just have to adhere to High Values and Principles given to us by God, not make up our own relative, or adapt to 'whatever everybody is doing'. Thank you again. I am an Epichristian, which means Above What is now known as 'Christianity, which Allah warns you against saying, 'Do not befriend, those Christians, and dJews who befriend each other/. What is called 'Christian' in our days, it hurts me to say it, but has nothing to do with Christendom as taught by Jesus. The Vatican has been invaded by demons and is now - as Vladimir Putin publicly said - under the control of a very dangerous man who is taking advantage of his position to establish a global system of Communism. Thank God Putin dares to go beyond politics and speak the Truth. You have the Koran, which has never changed. That is a magnificent record and I feel part of the strength that holds a true Moslem up right. I descend from someone that had a strong respect for the Principles that hold Islam strong. He and Saladin were respectful of each other, although each one found himself holding war against each other., Saladin gave him a name for which he was known afterwards, it is Saladin who called him 'El Cid' name for which he was later known. I enjoy very much the intelligence of your teachings and welcome the fact that they are available to all of us, Thank you again. I stay in Peace and wish you the best for helping people to be aware that their consiousness is in great danger.
thank you very much, I was humbled by reading your comment. may GOD bless you.
great words
