Nine Hundred Years:
Reviving the Spirit of Andalusia
By Hamza Yusuf
Alhambra Productions, California
1 x Audio CD


This lecture was recorded at the Reviving the Islamic Spirit Convention held in Toronto in December 2005

'Our challenge as Muslims is to determine how best we can revive the ability for Islam to work with the great challenges of our time, the great transformations of our time, using the past as our compass. We must recognize that we are in the present, on a journey into the future, and the past is our North Star. We must use the principles of the past and derive strength from our past, but we must also reconcile with the fact that we are modern people.'
Paraphrased from the lecture: Reviving the Spirit of Andalusia by Hamza Yusuf
