I literally cried, not just 'sniffled a little', not just 'got choked up', but actually cried THREE TIMES during this lecture. Hormones? Maybe. But I think it was more the severity of the message and the realness of the narration. Chris Hedges delivers a mighty speech on the evils of modern war in all of its corruption and illness. May Allah (swt) protect us, and purify our hearts. Yaa rabb, protect my children from the horrors of war, ya Allah relieve the pain of the babies experiencing warfare. And the pain of the women, and the pain of the elderly. And the pain of the honorable, noble men who are oppressed by the worst of mankind, the oppressors. And we seek refuge in YOU alone, oh Lord of the worlds...
Here, Hamza Yusuf goes into the Islamic perspective, with eloquence and relevant knowledge as per usual. Gotta love him. This was a very touching couple of lectures, and much needed in my life personally, in light of an influx of sad news I've been bombarded with lately. God save Queen Mariam Sofia Mohamed and Yusuf Amin Mohamed, and their parents, and the Ummah of their Prophet. AMEEEEEN.
