Assalaamu alaikum o brothers in islam!

A little bit about me

My full name is Hamza Yusuf Hanson and I was born in Calafornia, my mother and father were greek, and I was brought up as an orthodox.When I was 17 years old, (Thanks to Allah), I became a muslim after a near-death experience in a car accidennt, which lead me to reading the Holy Quraan, and eventually convert.


After I converted

I decided I wanted to understand the source of Islam so I decided to go to the United Arab Emirates to learn arabic.I spent four years there where I became a mu'adhin (caller for the prayers).While I was there, I met some West Africans scholars who kindled an intrest in Islam as it still in West Africa now.They gave me personal tuition.Later I travelled to West Africa and studied in Algeria, Morroco, Mauritania and Madinah.A few of the scholars that I studied under were:Sheikh Murabit al Haaj, Sheikh Baya bin Salik, Sheikh Muhammad Shaybani, Sheikh Hamad al-Wali and Sheikh Muhammad al-Fatrati of Al Azhar University in Cairo.After more than 10 whole years abroad, I returned to America and earned degrees in nursing and religious studies.I co-founded the Hayward, California-based Zaytuna Institute for the re-opening of Islamic-Science.
Anything or anyone against Islam.
I am happily married, alhamdulillah, with 5 children, all of them being boys!

Islamic Groups today!    Today we have many groups that have surfaced with each group proclaiming to be the correct manhaj. That leaves many questions that arise in the minds of most Muslims, like “what is the correct manhaj” and “what exactly is the correct methodology?” Brothers and sisters realize that we are under attack, we are a defeatist ummah. The munafiqeen have taken the forefront and the true scholars are unknown. One of the signs of the last day is that Allah takes the knowledge from the people by the death of the ^ulama.    There are a number of backseat, couch ^ulama who pass fatwas while sipping tea in an air conditioned office who carry very prestigious titles such as ^alim, shaykh, mawlana and many other titles that they truly do not deserve. These so called scholars have caused more damage to the ummah than the kaffir has. Some of the fitna caused by them have resulted in misguided interpretations of the Qur'an and Sunnah, innovated practices and invasions by the enemies of Islam flourishing without any confrontation which can result in Islam becoming just another name and ideology mentioned in the books of history, and weak understandings of fiqh, ^aqaaid  and jihad that have never been understood by the companions of the Messenger of Allah, sallalahu ^alayhi wa sallam. .   So you ask, who is Ahlus Sunnah today? The Messenger of Allah, sallalahu ^alayhi wa sallam said: &ldquo

As salam alaikum wa rahmatu Allah wa barakatu.

I saw Imam Hamza Yusuf lecture in Malaysia a few years ago, Imam Siraj and this brother have been a great inspiration to me. May Allah bless them.
