All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers.
Muhammad and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,
and upon his family and companions,
and a lot of peace and blessings be upon him.
And then,
my brothers and sisters,
one of the greatest and most important abilities
to develop is the ability for analytical thinking.
Now, analytical thinking, the way it's different from normal thinking
is that normal thinking is, there's a fogginess
and there is a mixture.
There's a mixture between thinking and feeling.
So emotions get involved in thinking.
This is very normal.
It's not a question of good and bad.
It's not a sin.
But it interferes with coming to good and correct decisions.
So what happens with most people is that
the degree to which
you want something to happen,
to that degree,
your mind cancels out anything that goes against that.
And it gives extra importance to things which seem to be favouring that.
But that's not reality.
That's not reality.
In some ways, this is how human beings cope.
When you have a, especially a tough thing you're doing,
a difficult project or a difficult challenge,
then some level of skewed thinking is good
or some level of skewed feeling is good,
making you feel positive about it.
Yes, I can win.
You don't know if you can win or not, but you feel you can win.
And that helps you.
But that's only a bit.

Long term projects, for example, your career, career choices, marriage.
They're long term things.
They're not, you know, you don't get married for two weeks.
You don't have a career for two weeks.
Long term things.
These require clarity of thought.
And clarity of thought is what we call analytical thinking.
So in analytical thinking, the first most important rule is
to take the emotions and put them aside.
.
Now this is easy to say, not easy to do because we are human.
And emotions are not sitting in a pocket somewhere.
You remove this pocket and put it somewhere.
So it requires some psychological skills.
But unless you can separate your intellectual thinking
from your emotional thinking, you will never come to a decent conclusion.
It will always be foggy.
.
The Seeratul Rasool Allah is one of the greatest places to learn
this amazing capability of putting emotions aside and looking at clarity of goals.
Right?
Take Hudaybiyyah, for example, one of the finest examples of analytical thinking and the ability
to keep personal ego needs out of the equation.
Now what's happening in Hudaybiyyah?
Here is the Rasool who saw in a dream that he is doing Umrah.
Now for the Nabi, the dream is Wahi.
So he tells the people, we are going and we are going to do Umrah.
So fourteen, fifteen hundred people go with him.
These are people who believed in him.
La ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasool Allah.
He is not an ordinary leader.
They believed in him as the Rasool.
And he is telling them, we will do Umrah.
But when they go there, what happens?
When they reach Hudaybiyyah?
No.
There is no Umrah.
You can't do Umrah this year.
Not only can you not do Umrah this year.
You can't do it.
To make a long story short, they have to sign an agreement which is humiliating,
which is one-sided, which is unfair, which is unjust.
And even while writing the document, when they are writing the document,
they said, this is a Ahad.
This is how it was written.
You can't start an agreement, but still some give existing things ¿how?
Even though they were the Phot vulnerabilities.
But still if you continue, we will be born again,
start resilience.
If we come back again.
From when Fool showed up in the government offices.
He said that Esto is the matter.
Feoul also let war break out completely.
But when it does break out and Shia weave,
he will be handicapped that is what it will not change until tomorrow Friday.
It will not be until tomorrow Friday.
of Allah,
