In this lesson of Sūrah Al-An’ām, verses 60-67, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores themes of divine authority, accountability, and human reliance on Allāh. The verses remind us that Allāh controls our lives, taking our souls at night and returning them in the morning until our appointed time comes.
Allāh’s guardianship over humanity is emphasised, especially in moments of death when His messengers (angels) dutifully take the souls of those passing away. The passage also highlights human vulnerability in times of distress, where people turn to Allāh for rescue, yet often return to worshipping other than Him once distress has passed.
The discussion concludes with a warning about the consequences of denying the truth of the Qur'ān and the inevitable reality of divine judgment.
