Episode Details

In this episode of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 112–119), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif explains how Allah uses the example of a city once blessed with abundance and security, which faced hardship when its people denied His favours. Despite a Messenger being sent to them, they rejected him, leading to their punishment.Allah reminds us to be grateful for His lawful provisions, encouraging us to avoid declaring things halal (lawful) and haram (unlawful) without His guidance. He forbids only what is harmful, and for those in need, He is Forgiving and Merciful. The verses also show that previous nations wronged themselves by disobeying Allah’s guidance, yet Allah offers forgiveness to those who repent and correct their ways.These verses teach us to recognise Allah’s blessings, stay humble, and seek His mercy and forgiveness when we fall.
