One of the basic questions a human will ask himself:
What is our purpose in life?

- Obeying Allah
- Loving Allah

May Allah bless Hamza for his efforts in the deen. He is a public speaker and he does much effort in our community by engaging in debates and discussion. His lecture below is a very strong one and it is one of the best I have heard. I have listened to this several times and I think I will use this to point several things in my blog because the strength of his delivery has taught me a few things.
