What truly decides victory, headcount or tawakkul? In this Seerah session, Muhammad Ahmed (Source Code Academia student) unpacks the Battle of Hunayn: right after the Conquest of Makkah, Taif’s forces prepared for war; Muslims marched ~12,000 strong (including many new Muslims). Some said, “We are many, so we will win.” Arrows rained from both hills, lines faltered—until the dust cleared and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had not taken a single step back. He advanced. Hearts reset, intentions realigned, and help came by Allah’s leave.
This talk connects Hunayn’s core lesson to today: metrics and optics never replace reliance on Allah. Learn the line between strategy and self-reliance, confidence and overconfidence, and why Seerah re calibrates our definition of “strength” and “success.”
