In this episode, Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi explores Surah Al-A’raf, a Makkan chapter that recounts the stories of past nations and their responses to divine guidance. This Surah highlights the eternal struggle between truth and falsehood, warning against arrogance and disobedience while calling people to faith, patience, and righteousness. It also describes the Day of Judgment and the fate of those who accept or reject Allah’s message.
This episode covers:
• The story of Adam (AS) and Iblis, illustrating the roots of arrogance and disobedience
• Lessons from the people of Nuh (AS), Hud (AS), Salih (AS), Lut (AS), and Musa (AS)
• The consequences of rejecting divine guidance and the rewards of faith
• The concept of A’raf—a place between Paradise and Hell

Surah Al-A’raf serves as a warning and a reminder that history repeats itself, and those who follow divine guidance will find success, while those who turn away will face consequences.
