In this episode, Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi explores Surah Adh-Dhariyat, a Makkan chapter that highlights the signs of Allah in the natural world, the certainty of resurrection, and the consequences awaiting both the righteous and the wicked. The Surah opens with an oath by the winds that scatter dust, symbolizing the unstoppable power of divine decree.
This episode covers:
• The oath by the winds (Dhariyat), demonstrating Allah’s control over the universe
• The ultimate purpose of life, which is to worship and serve Allah
• The fate of past nations, like the people of Noah, ’Ad, Thamud, and Pharaoh, who rejected divine guidance
• The rewards for the righteous, who will dwell in gardens of bliss
• A reminder that provision (rizq) is in Allah’s hands, encouraging trust in Him
Surah Adh-Dhariyat urges people to reflect on the signs of Allah and recognize the reality of the Hereafter. It reassures believers that their efforts will not go to waste while warning those who deny the truth about the consequences of their choices.
