In this lesson, Shaykh Dr. Ahsan Hanif explains that the Qur'an is a guide for believers and a warning for those who reject the faith, as detailed in Surah Al-A'raf, verses 1-10. He begins by discussing Allah's command to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, to convey the message without doubt or hesitation, drawing strength from the examples of previous Messengers who exhibited great patience. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ also warns of severe consequences for nations that denied their Messengers, leading to their disgrace in this life and punishment in the Hereafter.
Moreover, he addresses the Day of Resurrection, where everyone will be held accountable for their deeds. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will question each individual about their responses to His Messengers and the messages they received. This moment serves as a reminder of His justice, as every action—great or small—will be weighed fairly. The Qur'an's teachings will come forth to testify for or against individuals, reinforcing the significance of living righteously.
