Episode Details

In this lesson of Sūrah Hūd (96–108), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores the downfall of Pharaoh and his followers who arrogantly rejected the message of Mūsá (Moses, peace be upon him). Their rebellion led them to ruin in this world and a cursed destiny in the Hereafter. The verses go on to describe the consequences faced by other destroyed nations, highlighting how Allah's punishment befalls those who persist in wrongdoing. The passage closes with a powerful depiction of the Day of Judgement, where all people will be gathered, and only by Allah’s permission will anyone speak. The ultimate end of the wretched is Hell, while the prosperous will enjoy an everlasting reward in Paradise.
