In this thought-provoking session, Hamza Yusuf and Imam Zaid Shakir discuss the current conflict between the West and Islam and the abandoned understanding that every person's life is sacred and that no one has the right to take others' life. In insightful speeches, both Yusuf and Shakir bring questions to the stage that each one of us much seriously ponder if we are to find a means to live harmoniously as people of different faiths in the modern, global world, so that we may ensure a peaceful destiny for our children.

This 5 CD set follows Hamza Yusuf through his tour of the United Kingdom in 2004, and not only raises and answers questions we are being confronted with as a community, but marks a period in history that will never be forgotten. In time, this set will become a classic as the truths set forth are timeless and Hamza Yusuf's courage to make a public stand on behalf of these truths will also be remembered.

In this tour, Hamza Yusuf emphasized that continuing to treat the bitter fruits of problems such as terrorism and not dealing with the roots themselves, will not rid us of those problems. While it is easy for the West to say that Muslims need to resolve their issues, the West has failed to understand why Muslims feel that Western countries are responsible for their suffering.

Instead of attacking Muslims for their inability and incapacity to change their situation, we as Westerners must extend a hand of good will and acknowledge our injustices. Human beings have an immense capacity to forgive, but there must be an apology and recognition that people have been wronged and harmed. Simply sending that message, admitting that people have suffered and looking at their suffering in a real way, would do much to diffuse the resentment and rage.

This set contains the following lectures:

1. The World as Muslims See It
2. Extinguishing the Fire: Our War on Terrorism
3. Traditional Education in an Age of Terror, Part 1
4. Traditional Education in an Age of Terror, Part 2
5. Religion, Violence & the Modern World
   

"My advice to you, o possessor of virtue and courtesy: if you desire to reside in an exalted place amongst the ranks of people, a place where you are high and exalted of virtue and courtesy..." Thus opens the poem of the great scholar Ibn al Haddad as translated and commented upon by Hamza Yusuf. Though short, this poem of council contains an immense amount of knowledge and wisdom.

In his poem, Shaykh Ibn al Haddad gives the seeker of knowledge the keys to both success in both this world and the next. Hamza Yusuf's commentary contains his usual style of putting the obvious before us in a way we will never forget. He reminds us of such things as, "Islam is the only religion where you will find a king at the door of beggars asking for their prayers!" This is an inspiring talk that will help us to establish our own priorities for this world and the next, inshaAllah.
