Path of the Scholars - Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

In this lecture, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf clarifies many of the questions surrounding how we as Muslims can best understand how to follow the Quran and the Prophetic Way (Sunnah) of our beloved Prophet Muhammad. By explaining how legal rulings are derived, and the required qualifications of those who engage in this process, Shaykh Hamza brings light to the rich legal tradition of Islam.

With these clarification in mind, the listener is elevated past simple slogans for a return to the sources, and is equipped with an enriched understanding of the process of interacting with the divine sourcs of law.

This lecture reminds us that we are fortunate that the many complexities of sacred law (shari'ah) have been worked out by the jurists, and that, in the end, we will be asked by God not if we ourselves derived rulings, but if we committed ourselves to sincerely following them.
