The first lesson that we can take from
a reflective engagement of the life of the
prophet, peace be upon him, is one that's
going to challenge us. And that actually comes
from the pattern set by the early writers
of the, many of them from the.
And that is that they are providing us
a quality,
especially in an Asia we live in now
where irredeemability
is so irresponsibly applied to people.
The lack of hope in a in the
ability of people to reform themselves and become
better. The lack of hope that demands the
patience needed to
invest in those who are lost.
The early writers of the always begin with
something very interesting.
The good qualities of the worst people.
The good qualities
of the Jahidi Arabs. Why would they they
do that? They could just say they're lost,
they're horrible, they're astray, next chapter. Why would
they force us
to look at the worst people, feel
and find good in them? And what does
that mean for you and I who claim
to follow the office
of the
prophet as we engage people around us, the
patience and discernment needed
to
see the seerah,
to fall upon the prophet and to walk
upon the path of the prophet.
