In this episode of Qur’an in a Year+, we explore verses 71–79 of Sūrat al-Nisā’ — a passage that teaches believers the true meaning of strength, discipline, and reliance on Allah. These verses were revealed under the Prophet’s ﷺ leadership, showing that Islam’s approach to power and protection is never impulsive or chaotic, but guided by wisdom, justice, and moral order.

We also reflect on the believer’s ethos: to respond to blessings with gratitude, to face hardship with self-accountability, and to never lose sight of the greater purpose behind every test. Through these verses, we learn that true power lies not in domination, but in disciplined faith, guided leadership, and unwavering trust in the One who controls all outcomes.
