In this lesson of Sūrah Hud (verses 29 to 35), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores the dialogue between Prophet Nūḥ (Noah) and his people. The Prophet clarifies that he seeks no worldly gain from them, and his reward is solely from Allāh. He emphasizes his role as a warner without claiming knowledge of the unseen or divine provision. Despite his sincere advice, the people reject him and challenge him to bring the promised punishment if he is truthful. The Prophet reminds them that Allāh alone controls the outcome and warns that human rejection will not affect divine decree. The verses also address accusations that the Prophet fabricated the revelation, highlighting his innocence of such claims and the accountability of those who reject the truth.

In this lesson on Sūrah Hūd (verses 18 to 28), Shaykh Dr Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores the severe consequences faced by those who fabricate lies about Allāh and lead others astray. The verses contrast these individuals, deaf and blind to guidance, with those who believe, act righteously, and humble themselves before their Lord who are promised eternal Paradise. The lesson also introduces the story of Prophet Nūḥ (Noah, peace be upon him), highlighting his clear warning to his people and their arrogant rejection. Through these examples, the verses emphasise the themes of divine justice, the accountability of leaders and followers, and the role of prophets in guiding mankind despite rejection and ridicule.

In this lesson of Sūrah Hūd verses 13 to 17, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores the Qur’ān’s unmatched challenge to produce even ten surahs like it, affirming its divine origin. The verses contrast those who pursue worldly gains with those who follow clear divine guidance, supported by the testimony of previous scriptures like the Torah. The lesson also highlights the ultimate failure of disbelievers and reassures the Prophet ﷺ of the truth of his message despite widespread denial.

In this lesson on Sūrah Hūd verses 5 to 12, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores how the disbelievers attempted to hide from the Prophet ﷺ, unaware that Allah knows all hearts and secrets. The verses highlight Allah’s complete control over all creation from provision to destiny and the reality of resurrection. The emotional reactions of humans to hardship and ease are examined, showing how faith transforms despair into gratitude. The Prophet ﷺ is reminded to remain firm, for his duty is only to warn while Allah alone controls all outcomes.

In this lesson covering the end of Sūrah Yūnus and the beginning of Sūrah Hūd (10:107 to 11:4), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains Allah’s absolute control over harm and benefit and the consequences of accepting or rejecting divine guidance. The verses highlight that the truth has come from Allah and each person is responsible for their own path. As the Prophet ﷺ is instructed to remain patient, the opening of Sūrah Hūd reinforces the Quran’s perfection and clarity, calling humanity to worship Allah alone, seek forgiveness and repent, promising provision and reward for the obedient and warning of punishment for those who turn away.

In this lesson of Sūrah Yūnus, verses 98–106, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains the unique case of the people of Prophet Yūnus (Jonah) — the only nation whose collective repentance saved them from divine punishment. The verses go on to affirm that guidance is in Allah’s control alone, and that no amount of signs will benefit those who choose not to reason or reflect. The lesson concludes with powerful instructions given to the Prophet ﷺ: to remain steadfast in worshipping Allah alone, reject shirk, and never call upon anyone besides Him — a timeless message of sincerity, tawḥīd, and submission.

In this lesson of Sūrah Yūnus (verses 88–97), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf reflects on the powerful duʿā of Mūsā (ʿalayhi al-salām) against Pharaoh and his people—asking Allāh to remove their wealth and harden their hearts due to their persistent arrogance and misguidance. Allāh responds that the prayer has been accepted, commanding Mūsā and his followers to stay firm. The lesson then recounts Pharaoh’s pursuit of Banī Isrāʾīl and his last-minute declaration of faith as he drowned—an acceptance that came too late to benefit him. Allāh preserved his body as a lasting sign for future generations. The verses conclude by affirming the truth of revelation and warning against denial, explaining how some hearts are sealed and remain in disbelief until punishment becomes inevitable.

In this lesson of Sūrah Yūnus, verses 79–87, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores the confrontation between Prophet Mūsā (Moses) عليه السلام and Pharaoh’s magicians. These verses show how the truth of Mūsā’s message overpowered the illusions of falsehood, as Allāh does not allow the work of the corrupt to succeed. Although only a few believed due to fear of Pharaoh’s tyranny, Mūsā called his people to trust in Allāh and remain steadfast. Allāh responded to their faith by guiding them to strengthen their worship and community through dedicated homes and prayer, offering glad tidings to those who believe.
