In this lesson of Sūrah Ibrāhīm (verses 5–12), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains how Allāh reminds us of His immense favours through the story of Mūsā (ʿalayhi al-salām) and the Children of Israel - being saved from Pharaoh’s tyranny, the promise of increase for gratitude, and the severe warning for ingratitude. The verses also recount the response of past nations to their messengers: rejecting clear proofs, clinging to the false worship of their forefathers, and doubting the One who created the heavens and the earth. The messengers in turn affirmed their human nature, their dependence upon Allāh’s permission, and their absolute reliance (tawakkul) and patience in the face of harm. These āyāt highlight the timeless lessons of shukr, sabr, and tawakkul upon Allāh.
