He once admonished me with lines of poetry, one after another, until i wanted the earth to swallow me.
He said to me, "and what is man other than a comet that flashes brilliant light for a moment only to be reduces to ashes."
He told me several times, "Hamza, this world is an ocean, and those who drown in it are untold numbers. Don't drown"
-- Shaykh Hamza Yusuf talking about his teacher Shaykh Murabit al-Hajj

"If you’re knocking at the door, the knocking is itself the opening of the door; if you are journeying, your start is your beginning, don’t worry if you don’t get there. Stop wasting time. Death is waiting for you. This was the key message of Imam al-Ghazali" ---Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
“Worldly love is only a glimpse of what Divine Love is.” -- hamzayusuf
"Education is not to make more moneybut to be a better human being" -- hamzayusuf
