Contemporary Lessons from the Seerah

The Seerah of our Prophet(SAW) is one of the most important sources of our religion. It is supposed to inspire, to guide, to empower us to be better Muslims. Yet for many of us, the stories of the Seerah are abstract tidbits, historical facts that might sound good, but bear little relevance to our modern lives. This is a mistake and a shortcoming from our part. The Seerah is supposed to be a lived message where we connect the dots from the past to our lives here in the present. In this talk, Shaykh Yasir discusses a number of incidents from the life of the Prophet(SAW) and draw parallels with specific events and circumstances of our own time so that the Seerah becomes not just tales from the past, but lessons for our contemporary lives. This is from ISNA 2018 (Main Session).
