I wanted to reflect upon a few ayat of the Quran to sort of set the stage for the discussion that we have today.

And a lot of times you can appreciate an aya more once you can

situate it in Sira or you can relate it to your modern context. And if you could do both,

then that is the best way to do to Dabur, right? The best way to actually have that moment of

introspection. And I want to lay the foundation of the set of ayat that I'll speak about,

inshallah, ta'ana, with the reality that the Prophet,

sallulah aenehu-sallam often had to have regroup moments with his umma.

You know, regroup a fitna breaks out out people fall into some sort of strife and he's got to bring

everybody back together sit them down and remind them of why they're doing this in the first place

that has to happen many times in the sira and it's remarkable how the prophet sly is always able to bring

these people back to the same table and to get them working for common cause and i want you to think

about this reality let's take u'hud for example just as a very simple example of what this looks like

if u'hud was the only episode that we studied of the Sira in this regard,

how many archers were on the mountain?

50. How many of them came down out of the 50?

In disobedience to the Prophet's L.A.S.A.40.

40 of them came down from the mountain because they

thought that the battle is over as a result of that they left the back of the Muslims compromised

and from a means perspective from an asbab perspective this is where you start to see the debate

the defeat happen this is where you actually to see the defeat happen. This is where you actually see

the fracture is clear and the defeat happens, right? Imagine being one of those 40 people
