Today Shaykh Hamza Yusuf concluded the poem Qurat-Al-Absar and left everyone in tears. He made a closing du'aa asking for forgiveness for any of our shortcomings while we have been guests of the Prophet, Salallahu Alaihee Wa Salaam, and prayed for everyone's safe return. Below are some thoughts on this amazing session.
“Shaykh Hamza’s lesson on the Qurat-Al-Absar elaborated on the detailed and mind-opening observations of Sidi Abd-Al-Aziz on the blessed Prophet’s peace be upon him, life. The final chapters on the miracles, death and beautiful names of the final Prophet, peace be upon him were particularly heartwarming. With the 200 plus members of the banquet hall turned classroom in tears or almost so, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf made all of us feel more like slaves of Allah swt and his Divine Decisivity then ever before in our lives – in a good way. The spiritual moment felt by all inculcated in us the realization of the insignificance of our being and of our goodness especially in comparison to the goodness of the blessed Prophet Sallalahu Alaihee Wa Salaam and the greatness of Allah S.W.T.. Insha’Allah the moment spurred in our hearts by the wise words of the Shaykh will gravitate all of us blessed by Allah SWT with the chance to participate in the Rihla towards all things loved by Allah As-zawajal and his Messenger peace be upon him, and propels us far from that which He S.W.T. and his Prophet peace be upon him detest.”

"Shaykh Hamza was very touching and emotional and really made people aware of what it means to be in this Holy City of the Prophet, Salallahu Alaihe Wa Salaam and how important it is to monitor our actions and intentions while we're here. The poem and du'aa really touched our hearts and we all began to cry together. May Allah accept our prayers and good actions."
