In this episode, Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi explores Surah Al-Qamar, a Makkan chapter that begins with the miraculous splitting of the moon, a clear sign from Allah. The Surah repeatedly warns about the fate of those who rejected past prophets, illustrating how divine punishment swiftly overtook them. It serves as a stark reminder that the final judgment is near and inevitable.
This episode covers:
• The splitting of the moon, a great sign ignored by the disbelievers
• The recurring warning, “And We have certainly made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?”
• The destruction of past nations, including the people of Noah, ’Ad, Thamud, and Pharaoh
• The rejection of truth despite clear warnings, showing the stubbornness of disbelievers
• The certainty of the Day of Judgment, when no one can escape accountability
Surah Al-Qamar powerfully conveys that divine warnings should not be taken lightly. It urges people to learn from history, reflect on the clarity of the Qur’an, and turn to Allah before it is too late.
