In this episode of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 73–77), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains the futility of worshipping anyone besides Allah, as these idols neither provide sustenance from the heavens or the earth nor have any power to benefit or protect humankind. The verses remind us that all provision, guidance, and support come solely from Allah, the All-Powerful, Most Wise, and Most Merciful. They emphasize the importance of sincere worship, reliance on Allah, and following His guidance in every aspect of life. The ayahs encourage reflection on gratitude, responsibility, and moral accountability, reminding us that true worth is determined by faith, righteous action, and obedience to Allah alone. Finally, the verses affirm that all knowledge of the unseen in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah, and bringing about the Hour would take no more than the blink of an eye, highlighting His absolute power, wisdom, and control over all creation.

In this episode of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 65–72), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf highlights the signs of Allah’s wisdom and mercy in creation. He explains how Allah sends down rain to bring life to the earth after its death, and how even the smallest of creatures, like bees, follow the guidance inspired by their Lord, producing honey that contains healing for people. The verses illustrate Allah’s perfect planning in providing for humanity through cattle, fruits, spouses, and children, and remind us of the blessings He grants in provision and sustenance. Yet, despite all these favours, humans often remain ungrateful and fail to share their wealth justly. These ayahs encourage reflection on the balance between gratitude, obedience, and recognition of Allah’s signs, showing how every detail in creation points to His knowledge, power, and mercy.

In this episode of Sūrah An-Naḥl (verses 56–64), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains how the pagans wrongly dedicated parts of their wealth to idols and made false claims about Allah, while their shame over having daughters exposed the corruption in their values. Allah, who is perfect and above all flaws, reminds us that if He were to punish people instantly for their wrongdoing, no one would remain on earth, yet He grants everyone time out of His mercy. These verses show how Shayṭān made sins look appealing for earlier nations just as he does today, and they highlight that the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ to clarify people’s disagreements and to serve as clear guidance and mercy for those who believe.

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 35–42), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains how the disbelievers tried to excuse their shirk by blaming fate, even though Allah has always sent messengers to guide every nation. These verses highlight that true guidance comes only from Allah, the Resurrection is an absolute reality, and His power brings all things into existence with complete ease. Allah also honours those who migrate for His sake, granting them stability in this world and a far greater reward in the Hereafter—because they show patience and rely fully on Him.

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.
