Salaam aikam al-a-a-a-a-a-biqat, everyone. So if you've been following the first series, al-hāsaamah,

So if you've been following the first series, al-haharba, which has been going for the last several years,

we started off the series and we really looked at the We've been following the first series, al-hhhhhah al-ah al-a-a-a-mi-in, which has been going for the last several years.

We started off the series and we really looked at people in regards to the order in which they embraced Islam.

So the first, we spent the first several episodes talking about those who embraced Islam in the order that they embraced Islam and the praise and the lessons that we can take from those people. And so

if you're wondering why we're getting to al-Hasn, with Hussain, may Allah be pleased

There's a lot of tension.

And I actually don't do any of that, and so you're not going to find that neither in the way that I cover the biographies nor in my engagement on the subject. But instead, in the same way that we've covered all of these noble and blessed people who we love, how can we derive the lessons from their lives. So we just covered the life of Al-Hussein,

the tragic martyrdom of Al-Hussein,

the lessons that we can draw from him in real time

with everything that's happening right now, especially with Gaza

and this redefined notion of victory and success

that Allah, Siphani, gives'u'a gives us through the framework

of Ashab al-Ughudu'rtu, in Surta'Albhruj,
