About this lecture

In this Friday khutbah, Hamza Yusuf reminds Muslims of the sacred sanctity of the masjid and the obligations that come with it — from proper dress and cleanliness to maintaining silence and avoiding worldly talk in the house of Allah. He draws on Quranic verses, hadith, and vivid examples to challenge Muslims to reclaim their dignity as the khulafa of Allah on earth, resist the degrading influences of modern consumer culture, and prioritize their relationship with Allah above all else. The lecture concludes with a heartfelt du'a for a newly established masjid community.

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf is one of the most influential Islamic scholars in the Western world. Born Mark Hanson in Washington State in 1958, he embraced Islam in 1977 and spent over a decade studying the traditional Islamic sciences in the UAE, Algeria, Morocco, and Mauritania, most notably under the Mauritanian sage Murabit al-Hajj. He is the co-founder and president of Zaytuna College in Berkeley, California — the first accredited Muslim liberal arts college in the United States — and has translated numerous classical texts, including "The Creed of Imam al-Tahawi" and "Purification of the Heart." His lectures on spirituality, classical scholarship, and the crisis of modernity have shaped a generation of Western Muslims.
