- “It is one thing to be a student of Professor (Syed Muhammad Naquib) al-Attas, it is another thing to be his son.
It is one thing to be learning about the civilization of Islam, worldview of Islam, justice, existence, being, adab, ḥikmah… but it is something else to be actually living that tradition. I think this is an important element as far as my upbringing is concerned, I’ve actually lived this tradition - I’m still living this tradition.
I can remember when I was a young boy, when my father was writing - he would typically write in an A5 paper with a pencil, and whenever he’d finished writing one page, he’d call me to his study.
He would sit me down and he would read from what he’d written, and from there (when I was 8 or 9 years old) he’d start explaining his ideas saying: “Perhaps now you won’t understand, in future, you might understand”. And it’s true.
Those pearls of wisdom when I was young, impacted me in such a way that I still remember them, and I still understand what he was trying to accomplish… all his students who have come to visit him, I still remember all of them - all of whom have become significant members of society, some of his more flamboyant students, and of course Prof. Wan (Mohd Nor Wan Daud) who is perhaps the best example of Prof. al-Attas’s scholarship influence on the Muslims.”
Salam distinguished speakers and thank you for organizing this wonderful Symposium amidst the injustice and chaos in the world over. Thanks Prof Syed Ali Tawfik for putting it so simply in summarizing in one word the significant works of your beloved father. Justice. Thank you and our love and salam to your inspiring dad. May Allah swt grant him jannah for his love and sacrifices of time, money and efforts for Islam.
I really like your views and opinions regarding deen and technology both. Love from Oman 🇴🇲
May Allah always bless you more 😇
its amazing to see d al-attas look the same.....
Thank you Dr Syed Ali. Yes it boils down to think before you speak.
JazakAllah Khayran for the upload. Beautiful message indeed 🤲
I would say Professor Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas is the real life Indiana Jones if you really think about what he has done, discovered and ventured into.
Maybe Datuk this could be the starting point, your channel can be the base for weekly intellectual discussions among scholars, ex ISTAC perhaps and with livestreams so curious minds, people who are concern about the future can interact, share thoughts and ask questions. This kind of discussions with substance seems to be lacking in our society nowadays and I think you have the capacity to fulfill this void.
I am not a muslim, but I am totally agree your view.
Siapa2 yang nak mendengar kalam Dr. Syed Ali, tolong jangan buka atau baca ruangan komen terlebih dahulu.. Putus angin sakit kepala dan hati je nanti..
Simple very clear definition, all malay muslim need to listen together.
God Bless SIR 👍👍👍👍👍
U r a Wise Man I would like to follow
My regards to Prof Syed Naquib Al Attas & his family.....
We have to be wary of words.
The words we are fond of [our favorite words] can be used by our mischievous minds to marginalize those other words we find offensive [not proper to our beliefs or personal viewpoints].
At the end of the day, the words we are fond of-- our favorite words -- push out of our minds many other words -- words that are deemed offensive to our thinking -- and we tell ourselves and the world that our favorite words are the only words that can explain our political and religious beliefs credibly.
There is a chapter in Orwell's '1984' on the editing of words in a dictionary, which explains the enchantment of words in the same vein.
Be wary of words, and be brave enough to use words other than your 'favorite words'.
Sir any thought on getting back to the forefront of religious departments??
Kicking out all those undeserving ,truth manipulators and shutting them up for good
Our politicians cannot speak English like this intellectual.
Some can't speak proper Malay despite being "Malaysian".
So…………how does “justice under Islam” gel with Malaysia’s societal daily living ? This I would love to hear explained from ANY Muslimin.

The elite Malays send their children to rich international boarding schools in msia but the locals are to learn Malay. Hypocrites.
