About this listen
In this lesson of Sūrah Yūnus (verses 21-24), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains how mankind often turns to Allāh عَزَّ وَجَلَّ in times of desperation but quickly returns to heedlessness once relief is granted. The verses describe how people, when faced with calamities such as storms at sea, sincerely call upon Allāh عَزَّ وَجَلَّ for deliverance yet after being saved, they resume their wrongdoing. Allāh عَزَّ وَجَلَّ warns that such injustice only harms those who commit it and that the worldly life, no matter how appealing, is temporary. Like crops flourishing after rainfall only to be destroyed unexpectedly, human life is fleeting and its true reality will be revealed on the Day of Judgment. These verses urge reflection on gratitude, sincerity and the transient nature of worldly success.
