Episode Details

In this episode of the Tafseer series, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif explains Surah Maryam (51–63), where Allah ﷻ mentions the honour of His prophets and the reality of later generations. Allah ﷻ speaks about Prophet Mūsā (AS), chosen as a messenger, called near Mount Ṭūr, and supported by his brother Hārūn (AS) as a prophet. He also mentions Prophet Idrīs (AS), a man of truth whom Allah ﷻ raised to a high station. The prophets from the descendants of Adam, Nūḥ, Ibrāhīm, and Ya‘qūb (AS) are described as humble, falling in prostration and weeping when Allah’s verses were recited to them. Later generations are warned for neglecting prayer and following desires, but those who repent, believe, and do righteous deeds are promised Paradise, eternal gardens of peace prepared for the believers who fear Allah ﷻ.
