In the Speech on Modernity given at Michigan, if the brothers go to the very end, you will notice that they made a woman to present a gift to Habib Umar, when there were plenty of men around. It was attas at michigan who introduced the woman to Habib Umar. Habib Umar's next speech was with Hasan Qazvini, the twelver shia from dearborn. He is the son of murtada qazvini from karbala. There is a youtube video on the twelver satellite channel Anwaar from Kuwait, in which murtada qazvini clearly says with emphasis and complaint that Surah Aal Imran had a part removed by the government that came after RasulAllah salAllahu alaihi wa alihi wa sallam. Here it is, he's speaking in Iraqi dialect very familiar to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovfz3xnsjJ0&feature=related
Habib Umar April 4 speech in Los Angeles: A Prophetic Model for Effecting Change in Society http://habibumar.org/multimedia/audio/ Note how they send salawat on Habeeb SalAllahu alayhi wa alihi wa sallam above. Its everywhere in their writings. What about the dictatorships ruling California and Europe, the enlightened West? When will they fall? What is democracy? After all, it was California which sponsored ALL the dictatorships in the Middle East and the Islamic World. Is Habib Umar in the country that is the FRIEND of Islam and Muslims? California just paid 20 million dollars to open Sesame Street rurally within Pakistan. Additionally, is involvement in perennialist progressive movements part of the social change? Is Habib Umar aware of this? The Prophet salAllahu alayhi wa alihi wa sallam fought physically against the Kuffar as well. What was the great happening of FataH Makkah? And the Ghazwat that Habeeb Sallahu alayhi wa alihi wa sallam engaged in.
Habib Umar's evening address Habib Umar is tomorrow speaking at a Christian School in California Sacred Knowledge: Can Devotion and Academic Inquiry Coexist? 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Wednesday, April 6 Berkeley, CA Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology http://habibumar.org/usa/sanfrancisco/
Habib Umar recordings in Canada all online now: http://habibumar.org/multimedia/audio/ Listen to his speech about "Rethinking Islam and Modernity" on March 24. Apparently, Habib Umar does not mind at all being introduced by modernists. yahya rhodus, who spoke with Habib Umar, has great respect for Hosein Nasr, who is a kafir murtad. rhodus was sitting with Hosein Nasr at zaytuna institute, when zaytuna institute invited the perennialist nasr as the distinguished "islamic" guest speaker to honour their institute. You can see the speeches online on zaytuna.org
If Habib Umar 33rd on the list of 500 most influential Muslims on earth, in a report published by muslih kulli people in Jordan, he must be influential in his south yemen too at least to some degree. He must go back to Yemen now and stay there for the protection of his people. Who is asking him to join hizbs? No one. If he is a friend of Allah ta'ala, he should not abandon his people and leave for the devil country. He should follow his father's example. Awliya Allah are protection for the land. Their presence is protection for the land. Is he off to California to protect it? Its just so astonishing. http://www.examiner.com/muslim-in-san-jose/habib-umar-bin-hafiz-unifying-our-hearts-the-bay-area
There are two events organised for Birmingham on one day. One is for sisters only and their is a charge also! None are in a masjid.
After California, Habib Umar is planned for the UK. He has two speeches in Birmingham, and another up noth in Bradford on April 15 and 17 respectively. http://habibumar.org/uk/
Habib Omar is in Canada. His tour in Montreal http://www.alhabibomar.com/ He has dozens of speeches planned. This week 13 planned in Toronto. He's covering every major non-salafi masjid. Usually those masjids where common Sunnis attend. Massive PR Here you can see Habib Omar sitting with the dangerous modernist wahabi Dedew in a picture in Kuwait, who is the teacher of the modernist white american suhaib oklahoman webb. The program is called "we and the Other" http://www.alhabibomar.com/Trip.aspx?SectionID=3&RefID=49 Its a total contradiction. Habib Omar is talking about Manhaj Wasatiyyah. Basically he wants to unite with the Ahl al Bid'a. Join hands with them in harmony, and accept them as having legal differences of opinion. This is the same idea of the modernists here in the west. You can see it in one of hamza yusuf's talks called "state of the union" which he gave at ninowy's madina institute in Atlanta.
just saw the fons vitae website: https://www.fonsvitae.com/OnlineStore/tabid/58/cid/20/World-Religions.aspx commercial "tasawwuf" at its best, it is a safe bet to assume that an abundant amount of khiyanah would be prevalent in their "translations" of muslim works in order to engineer public opinion in favor of perennialism, exactly the same way the wahabis have tampered with books in order to engineer public opinion to accomodate for their khariji tendencies - perennialism is the last thing one would expect to find in the works of someone like al-ghazzali. and martin lings wasn't a sufi.
nuh keller supports zaytuna institute events nuh keller and his murids have explicitly given their support for these series of zaytuna institute/radicalMiddleWay events, and the murids have been encouraged to monetarily support the events. I believe these zaytuna institute/radicalMiddleWay events are a PR Stunt. Does not nuh keller and his murids know about the beliefs of TJ Winters and Hamza yusuf on the topic of perennialism and modernism? Do they not know of their association with perennialist organizations as fons vitae, on whose advisory board is hamza yusuf. They are printing books with pictures of RasulAllah salAllahu alayhi wa alihi wa sallam on them.
Habib Umar is speaking on the topic, Dawah in Trying Times: An intensive in Imam Al-Haddad's "Dawah Tamma", in Berkeley-Oakland with zaytuna intitute team. This is very very wrong. Does he know of the belief system of these people? I think it is conceders like guillible habib umar who make innocent Sunnis guillible to people like modernists/perennialists. Sunnis must Stop habib umar. If he needs to spread tranquility, he must do it in his yemen or the other arab countries, why is he coming to Berkeley-Oakland? Muslims already live in the great country that is best, as hanson said on Aljazeerah, that protects them from turbulence. There is 'tranquility' here in UK, North America. His website below has the flier. Muslims must protest to habib umar. http://habibumar.org/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAIbw9Swu_A&feature=player_embedded
T J Winter calls himself T J Winter. It's not an insult or insulting to call him by that name. The message here is good, even though some may questin T J's motives. Nevertheless good message.
can we not address shaykh abdul hakim as such or even if some choose not to then can we not simply address him as abdul hakim?
