Who is your favour Islamic preacher, scholar, etc?

[syed1]

Hi everyone,

As we all know there is an event called Reviving the Islamic Spirit approaching very quickly (December 25) and it attracts of 1000's of people from around the world to come witness this event...

I just wanted to take a poll and see who is your favour speakers and why!

[syed1]

My 2 favorite are zakir naik and Tariq Ramadan!

[Riana17]

Asalam Alaikkum

I really like Dr Zakir Naik, he is very bless mashallah
Do you know that he is the most influential Man in India now (religious)?

Not only he is intelligent, mashallah he is very very humble & patient.
May Allah ya Rabb bless us more with people like Dr Zakir Naik,Ameen

[syed1]

Yes, I love him and love watching his debates.. watching him devour his oppoenents verbally, it honestly make me smile. He knows other peoples religion better than they know it them selves and that is one of the main things I love about him..

Mashallah!

Anyway, some of my favorite speakers would have to be Nouman Ali Khan and Suhaib Webb. Both are good speakers, incredibly knowledgeable, and easy to relate to. They also offer a fresh new perspective that takes into account the realities of the world we live in.

[Asiyah3]

Egyptian Shaikh Omar Abdelkafy, may Allah bless Him with al-Firdaws. He's amazingly knowledgeable, wise, sincere, humble, modest, and explains things beautifully and interestingly...

[Ghazalah]

^Oh he is good.

My fav arab speakers:
Dr Amr Khaled
Dr Abdul-Muhsin Al-Ahmed
Mostafa Hosny
Adil Al-Qarni
Sheikh Riad Ourazazi
Dr Reda Bedier
And Abdul Hameed Kishk. He is one of the best, if not the best. May Allah swt have mercy on his soul.


English:
Zahir Mahmood
Mufti Ismail Menk
Murtaza Khan
Shady Suleiman
Nouman Ali-Khan.

Have a few more :statisfie

Well, I was only trying to depict the speakers that are guests at the RIS event.. nonetheless, I did watch that little clip and I do like his tone and stance on the subject, he seems inspiring!

[~Raindrop~]

^He is very inspiring mashaAllah, focuses on the youth mostly.

OK before this goes any further...

We are NOT debating whether Zakir Naik is a good/influential person/speaker or not. To each his own. This thread is about who your favourite is... let's leave it at that, shall we? :)

[serena77]

[Perseveranze]

Asalaamu Alaikum,

I'd have to say Imam Anwar Al Awlaki (ra).

[Scimitar]

I actually like the way sheikh Imran Hosein speaks. You ever here him say "Have you got peanuts in your head?"... class.

Jazakiallahu khair. Indeed, what may work for one person, may not work for another. All scholars and da'ees calling to Allah and righteousness deserve our utmost love, appreciation and respect lillaah. :)

[~Raindrop~]

Couldn't decide on 1 so I voted for a few.

[Predator]

Amazing on how you left Ahmed Deedat out , but kept Zakir Naik who was his student

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

As'Salaam Alaaykum

I have to say Sh.Ahmed Deedat.

Others are:
Bilal Assad
Nouman Ali Khan.
Zahir Mahmood
Dr Amr Khaled
Sh Anwar Al awlaki
Khalid Yasin
Murtaza Khan etc etc.

And many more and some I can't remember names too and some may have been mentioned already.

[Masuma]

many of them i dun even know. and many of my fav ones aren't in the list. :p

[MartyrX]

I like listening to Yusuf Estes.

[syed1]

hey, yeah I began listening to him yesturday too... he is very serious but with an underlying coat of humour instilled in his speeches..

[YusufNoor]

:sl:

my absolute favorite is Dr Bashar Shala. i love his style as well as content. his lectures are posted here:

http://www.pleasantviewschool.com/me...wi%20%28saw%29

my favortes:

http://www.pleasantviewschool.com/me..._Surah_Al-Kahf

and these:

http://www.pleasantviewschool.com/me...ulafah+Rashida

second would be Mufti Ishmael Menk, his perfect English and the skill that he has in projecting a positive view of Islam is way cool. lectures here:

http://www.muftimenk.co.za/Downloads.html

third would be Dr Abu Aminah Bilal Philips. i like the depth of his knowledge for a revert. Sheikh Muhammad Awal is a personal friend and i like his fresh approach as a daiyee. Br Yusuf Estes is also a good source. Jamal Zarabozo has some fine lectures as well.

although i'm not Sufi, i'm rather fond of Sheikh Imran Hosien. i find myself agreeing with much of what he has to say and i like the way that he is not afraid to speak his mind when it comes to what he feels is the truth.

Nouman Ali Khan is also a brother who i admire, his lectures are most beneficial.

and last but not least is Dr Abdullah al-Farsi of QSEP. i dig his no-nonsense approach to the Qur'an and Sunnah. lectures here:
http://qsep.com/EemanDVD/AboutShaikhalFarsi.htm

those are my favorites and they provide me with quite an education.

wa Salaam

[Galaxy]

I listen to a brother from Saudi Arabia, masha Allaah I learned a lot.

[Abz2000]

anwar awlaki's not there so i won't vote,
anyway - i believe these statistics just help those bots and subverters who trawl through internet mining data to get a clearer picture of us and aim their propaganda more effectively at the muslim community.
it doesn't help us much though.

[A,Jusufi]

My favourite islamic speaker is
Muhammed Hussein Jakub

but,since his not in the list ,i voted for Zakir Naikmhis great too!

[جوري]

I don't see any of favorites here.. obviously Anwar Al'Awklai Allah yer7mo had alot to do with reviving the Islamic spirit in me..
there is also Dr. Salah Ar'rachid and Ahmad deedat and sheikh sh3rawi..

:w:

['Aleena]

:sl:
Sh Zahir Mahmood
Abdul Nasir Jangda
Nouman Ali Khan
Ahmed Deedat
Imam Anwar al-Awlaki
Dr. Israr Ahmed

[syed1]

yes sister I am sure man others have had a impact on you in reviving your islamic spirit but this thread was dedicated to those speakers who annually attend an event here in toronto called "reviving the islamic spirit" which is approaching in 3 weeks inshallah ...

here is a link to it if you are curious http://www.revivingtheislamicspirit....tion/index.php

[PouringRain]

Abdul Nasir Jangda

This one.

[Ali137]

there are other speakers not on the list

[Atheeq]

Atm I like listening to Muhammad Abdul Jabbar

[IbnAbdulHakim]

I felt hurt that Abdul Hakim Murad isnt on that list :(

[PouringRain]

I felt hurt that Abdul Hakim Murad isnt on that list :(

Perhaps someone should make a new list.... taking the names on the current list, including all of the names in this thread that are not listed, and soliciting suggestions for additions.

I am just now imagining how long that list could be.

[Al-bint]

As-Salaamualaikum!

Apart from Nouman Ali Khan I even like Sheikh Khalid Yasin & Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaqi (late)...
I like how these three speakers explain anything they are asked & their examples seem so simple to understand.... at least to me!

wasalaam!

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ hang on, I thought anwar al awlakis death was a rumour? I thought he was confirmed alive?

[Al-bint]

^ hang on, I thought anwar al awlakis death was a rumour? I thought he was confirmed alive?

ehn? I dont know may be! I'd rather hope so. My friends gave me a lecture of their's saying that it was their last one. Wallahu Aalim!


wasalaam!

[ILuvAllah]

I like Dr Zakir Nouman Ali and Abdullah Hakim Quick.

[Mr.President]

Hamza andreas tzortzis and Yasir Qhadi

[Serendipity]

Nouman ali khan, yasir qadhi, muhammed abdul jabbar,zakir naik, sheik shinqitee

[jimbo123]

I like Dr Zakir Naik and I also find Yasir Qadhi talks very motivational.

[Scimitar]

Everytime I hear Habib Ali al Jifri speak, I end up in tears... this man clearly belongs in the 7th century... we are so blessed to have him with us.

May Allah continue to raise him in status, Ameen.



please let me share just one more... this is amazing, if you haven't seen this, see it:



Scimi

[Jedi_Mindset]

Sheikh habib ali al-jifri is indeed one of my favorite sheiks!

Sheikh imran N hossein, sheikh khalid yasin, sheikh anwar al-awlaki(Ra), hamza yusuf and sheikh nouman ali-khan are on my list also, very intelligent scholars, we need to be happy that there are still scholars like this, they're dissappearing sadly...

[Serendipity]

I don't think nouman ali khan is a scholar

[Pure Purple]

It was very difficult to choose.I voted for Mufti Taqi Uthmani.Also I like Nouman Ali khan's tafsir lecture

[Muhaba]

The question asked "who is favorite preacher, scholar, etc." Well, one of my favorite scholars is Maulana Maududi, writer of Tafheem Ul Quran Quran commentary and many other great Islamic books, some of which i have read. Tafheem Ul Quran is in Urdu, but it's english translation The Meaning of Quran is also available, as well as translations in many languages such as Turkish. It is a comtemporary tafseer that everyone should study to get insight and analytical skills. Many ppl hav praised this tafseer. In Syria I met a Turkish woman who said she reads the tafsir in Turkish and loves it. So if you can, get a copy and read it. I assure you, once you start, you won't be able to put it down. I couldn't! I read some really long surah translation + tafsir in just 24 hours.

The great thing about maulana Maududi's tafsir is that he doesn't write useless material. what he writes has a point. for example, he may quote from encyclopedia britannica, the bible, history, etc but not unnecessarily. Whatever you read in his tafsir will make you gain insight and give you the answers to many questions. And I assure you you won't find objectionable material in his tafsir. He was a truly great scholar, gifted and sincere. May Allah reward him much and keep his great work from being wasted. Ameen.

[Scimitar]

Whoa... thanks for this recommendation.I have been looking for something like this for a while...

Is there an online pdf available?

I have his english translation of the Qur'an, which helped me a lot. May Allah reward him ameen.

[Muhaba]

I posted commentary of two surahs in the Quran forum (surah Al-Hujaraat and Surah Rum). You may want to check them out. I also started posting Surah Al-Anam, but haven't been able to post much. Insha-Allah i will try posting more asap. Maulana Maududi's tafseer is simply beautiful and a must read for everyone who wants to study Islam.

[footy_craze]

I usually listen to lectures about Quran so my fav are Nouman Ali Khan, Mufti Menk and Shaykh Sulaiman Moola

[Serendipity]

Shaykh Sulaiman Moola

I like his accent as well.

[Signor]

Woah,Am i The only one who have heard Murtaza Khan?Give him a try atleast.Besides him I like to listen to Sheikh Imran Hosein,Hamza Yousaf,Habib Ali Jafri(to some extent) and Dr.Zakir Naik in english and Dr.Israr Ahmed,Maulana Tariq Jameel in Urdu

[Serendipity]

I did hear of Murtaza khan before, his style doesn't really suit me.

[Mughal]

It is always good idea to listen to everybody to learn and then be able to make up your own mind sensibly. Nobody knows everything but all tell you something to remember them for. People who blindly follow others become problem for rest of ummah. if we want unity of ummah we must be willing to see each other's points of views and try our best to come closer to each other than fall apart.
