In this episode of the Tafseer series, Shaykh Dr Aḥsan Hanif explains Surah Al-Anbiyāʾ (21:91–100), where Allah ﷻ mentions Maryam (ʿalayhā as-salām) and her son ʿĪsā (ʿalayhi as-salām) as a sign for the worlds. These verses remind us that although people divided in matters of faith, everyone will ultimately return to Allah. Allah ﷻ reminds us that the efforts of believers are never lost, while those who reject the truth will face the reality of the Hereafter and regret turning away from His guidance. These verses call us to strengthen our faith, do righteous deeds, and prepare for the Day when we return to Allah.

In this episode of the Tafseer series, Shaykh Dr Aḥsan Hanif explains Surah Al-Anbiyāʾ (21:83–90), where Allah ﷻ highlights the patience and sincere supplications of His Prophets. Prophet Ayyūb (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) called upon Allah while enduring hardship, Prophet Yūnus (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) called upon Him in the depths of darkness, and Prophet Zakariyyā (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) placed his hope in Allah’s mercy. Allah ﷻ responded to their calls, removed their difficulties, and blessed them with His mercy. These verses remind us that Allah hears the prayers of His servants, that patience is never wasted, and that true believers turn to Him in every situation.
