In this episode,of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 120-128), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif reflects on Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) example as a leader devoted to Allah, thankful for His blessings, and firm in following the truth. Allah guided him to the right path, promising blessings in this world and the Hereafter.We are reminded to follow his example by staying true to Allah’s path and avoiding shirk (associating others with Allah). The lesson also teaches the importance of patience, especially in times of hardship. Allah encourages us to respond with wisdom and patience, as those who endure will be greatly rewarded.The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was also taught to trust in Allah and remain patient, knowing that true patience comes from Him. In times of difficulty, we must trust in Allah’s plan and seek His guidance.

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.

In this episode of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 103–111), Shaykh Dr. Ahsan Hanif highlights the false claim by disbelievers that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was taught by a foreigner. However, the Qur'an is in clear Arabic, revealing divine truth. Those who reject Allah’s verses will face severe punishment for their lies and obstinacy. Shaykh Dr. Ahsan Hanif also points out that while those forced to renounce their faith may be safe in their hearts, those who willingly choose disbelief over faith will incur Allah’s wrath. Their preference for worldly gains over eternal rewards seals their hearts, making them the ultimate losers on the Day of Judgment. Yet, Allah’s mercy is vast. For those who emigrate, fight for Allah, and remain patient, Allah promises forgiveness. . On the Day of Judgment, every soul will stand alone, pleading for itself, and will be justly compensated for its deeds, without any injustice. This passage serves as a reminder of the Qur'an’s clarity and the consequences of rejecting Allah’s guidance.
