Sh Umal is quite knowledge, and egalitarian and nonpartisan in his statements. If you listen to his Tafserr of the Quran you’ll truly appreciate the scope of his knowledge and his firmness on the truth. I love Mufti Menk and listen to him too, but as every scholar has their specialty Sh. Umal has more a more penetrating insight and knowledge on the meaning of the QuranYes. Mufti is very good in Quran pronounciation. He can command a Quranic verse as he speaks in an instant. That impresses me immensely.
Shaykh Yasir, I like his University standard Qhutbahs. And also he is the most humble of them all. Even more humble than Mufti menk ismail. Yasir is clueless of his celebratedness.
Sh. Umal one of the u and he deserves his Laural and roses while he’s alive for dedicating his life to researching and protecting the seen
It come in the Hadith book Tabrani
”Be an Alim, or one who strives to become one, or at least one who listens to then or one who loves. Do not become the fifth (one who hates them) for you will be destroyed.”
