Episode Details

In this lesson of Sūrah Yūnus (verses 42–52), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains how the Qur’ān highlights the stubbornness of those who refuse to believe despite hearing and seeing the truth. These verses affirm that Allāh عَزَّ وَجَلَّ never wrongs His creation; rather, people wrong themselves through denial and heedlessness. The passage reminds us of the fleeting nature of this world and the certainty of the Hereafter, where all will be judged justly. The Prophet ﷺ is told to clarify that he has no control over divine matters, and everything happens according to Allāh’s perfect timing. The verses also warn against demanding the punishment hastily, because once it comes, belief at that point will not benefit the disbelievers.
