In this lesson of Sūrah Ibrāhīm (verses 13–18), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf reflects on how Allah describes the defiance of those who opposed His messengers and reminds us that Allah’s decree is always supreme. The arrogant rejecters of truth opposed their messengers, threatening them, plotting against them, and denying the signs of Allāh. Yet Allāh’s decree always prevails. The oppressors were destroyed, their homes reduced to ruins, and their deeds turned to ashes scattered by the wind, worthless before their Lord.

Through these verses, Allāh warns against pride and disbelief, while promising safety and honour to the believers who stand firm in faith. It is a clear reminder of the fate of tyranny and the triumph of steadfast hearts rooted in īmān.
