Page 272 - Signs, Warnings, and Complete Submission

In this episode of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 43–55), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains that every messenger came with clarity so people could understand and reflect. They warn those who plot against the truth, thinking they are safe, even though Allah can seize a person in ways they could never expect. Yet, despite these warnings, His mercy remains vast and ongoing. The passage then draws our attention to the world around us: even shadows move in humility, and all of creation—on earth and in the heavens—submits to Allah. A reminder that guidance and safety lie in recognising His signs, fearing Him with sincerity, and following what He commands.

In this episode of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 24–34), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains that those who reject Allah’s guidance and mislead others will face the consequences of their actions, while the righteous are rewarded with eternal gardens beneath flowing rivers. These verses remind us to reflect on our deeds, stay humble, and act with sincerity, knowing Allah is fully aware of everything we do.

In this episode of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 14–23), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains how Allah reminds us of His countless blessings—from the seas made useful for food and adornment, to the mountains, rivers, and pathways that keep the earth stable and guide our journeys. Allah shows us that only the One who creates deserves worship, while the idols people call upon are lifeless and powerless. These verses teach us to recognise Allah’s immense mercy, remain humble, and never forget that He knows what we hide and what we reveal. Through this reminder, we are called to gratitude, sincerity, and firm belief in the One true God.

In this episode of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 01–13), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf highlights how Allah begins Sūrah An-Naḥl by affirming His command and reminding us of His mercy. These verses draw our attention to the countless blessings around us, our creation, the animals we benefit from, the rain from which we drink, and the natural order of day, night, sun, and moon. All of them point to Allah’s mercy and invite us to recognise His oneness with gratitude and reflection.

In this episode of Sūrah Al-Ḥijr (verses 85–99), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains how Allah created the heavens, the earth, and everything between them for a clear reason, and reminds us that the Hour will surely come. The verses guide the Prophet ﷺ to share Allah’s message clearly, be patient with those who mock, show kindness to believers, and trust in Allah’s knowledge and protection. This lesson teaches us to stay devoted in worship, follow Allah’s commands, and be mindful of our actions.
