About this lecture

In this wide-ranging lecture, Hamza Yusuf examines the signs of the Last Hour through the lens of the Hadith of Jibril, exploring how prophetic predictions about social collapse, the Dajjal, and the inversion of natural order are visibly unfolding in modern times. Drawing on classical Islamic scholarship, Arabic linguistics, and contemporary social analysis, he calls Muslims to awareness, action, and sincere reform — urging them to hold fast to the deen like a coal in the hand, plant their seeds of good, and never lose hope in Allah's promise of ultimate restoration.

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.
