Artikel yang sangat panjang, menceritakan biography Shaykh Hamza Yusuf. Apa yang membuatkan saya kagum dengan beliau adalah berkenaan perjalanan beliau menuntut ilmu merentasi pelbagai negara.
Dari Spain ke England. Kemudiannya ke UAE, Algeria dan Mauritania. Di Mauritania, beliau berguru dengan Shaykh Murabbit Al-Hajj. Dari Mauritania kembali ke USA. Kemudiannya barulah beliau menubuhkan Zaytuna Institute.
"From Sheikh Hamid, I learned about the merits of memorization. Although I had studied several texts, and my Arabic was quite fluent by this time, Sheikh Hamid was adamant that without rote memorization, one was dependent upon books and did not really possess knowledge within oneself.
Mauritanians, he told me, distinguish between daylight scholars and nighttime scholars. A daytime scholar needs light to read books to access knowledge, but a nighttime scholar can access that knowledge when the lights are out, through the strength of his memory and the retention of knowledge."
Dalam apa-apa bidang pengajian pun, hafalan sangat penting. Tapi mestilah disekalikan dengan kefahaman agar kita mengerti perkara yang dihafal.
Saya doakan beliau terus gigih dan berterusan menyebarkan dakwah Islam di bumi Amerika Utara.
