			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala CD mursaleen
Sayidina Muhammad wala and he was softly he was sending to Sleeman kathira SNM. Why an equal or what
what he of our cattle. This is memes a check here My dear brothers and sisters, or I'll build a wall
is a wonderful time. It's a wonderful time because that month was honored to be the time that our
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came into the world is the time the 12th of rabelo. To be
specific is the time that this great gift of mercy came into the world. Allah tala tells us in the
Quran, well, more than one there are Cenac, indorama attending al Amin. So addressing His Prophet
		

			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that we have only sent you as a mercy to all of the worlds he described
himself in number and arrive at one more day I am a gifted mercy to the world the gift of mercy,
brothers and sisters let us honor this month and let us respect this month by learning something
about the Prophet sallallahu wasallam recommitting us the following his way solo and he was sending
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and teaching that way to others to the extent that our
knowledge and our circumstances allow so we mentioned will be our being the the time that the world
humanity was graced with the coming into the world of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the
		

			Prophet Muhammad, of course. And we want to examine his life brothers and sisters through a unique
prism that, to my knowledge, no one has ever
		

			used to examine the CRR or the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him. So we're going to have two wonderful, wonderful guests, Dr. Moon Hassan, and
Jose, Majid de de la preserve and bless both of them. And two of our professors from zaytuna
College, Dr. Ali uthai. And Dr. Abdullah Ali, talking about these four virtues. So we start with
wisdom, by the grace of Allah because our prophets, Allah sallam, he was wise. And he shared his
wisdom with us, and therefore were described as wise people. And that will be followed by temperance
or restraint. Because one of the fountainhead of wisdom one of the things that displays wisdom is
		

			the ability to restrain oneself, the ability to be temperate in one's behavior, and one's engagement
with others, as one goes and makes his or her way through the world. And then courage, because our
Prophet sallallahu wasallam, at that critical stage, when the Muslim community was transitioning
from a community of persecuted believers, a mecca to a community that now had to defend itself and
to establish itself in the world. in Medina, great courage was required, and the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam, as described, can Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, S, Jan nursey, that the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam was the most courageous of people. And then finally, once that polity that
		

			political
		

			entity was established, requires justice, justice to maintain equilibrium in the society, a society
and justice embodies balance, many times represented by two balanced plates of a scale, justice
requires sometimes firmness. And all of those qualities and more are those two qualities rather and
more will the stapes displayed by the prophet sallallahu Sallam during that final time. So brothers
and sister, I can guarantee you, you've never heard the Syrah the zero approach this way. And you've
never heard or witnessed it approached this way through this framework, by this very, very talented
array of scholars, teachers, and great embodiments of prophetic character in their own right. Well,
		

			hamdulillah we pray that you have an opportunity to benefit from this incredible series, culminated
by a lecture by our president Sheikh Hamza Yusuf, on how the Prophet sallallahu wasallam has been
viewed through the great religious, religious traditions of the world. And hamdulillah My dear
brothers and sisters, in conclusion, let me say this, or let me invite you to share to join me in
doing something very, very critical for the future of this college by the grace of Allah if you join
me as one of the
		

			army of 12,000 supporters of this college and our 12,000 strong program brothers and sisters,
collectively, we can put this college be easily led by the leave of Allah on strong financial
