In this episode, Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi explores Surah An-Nahl, a Makkan chapter that highlights the countless blessings Allah has bestowed upon humanity and calls for gratitude and submission to His will. Known as Surah of Blessings (Surat al-Ni’am), this chapter reminds believers that everything in creation—from the food we eat to the air we breathe—is a sign of Allah’s mercy. It also warns against ingratitude and associating partners with Allah.
This episode covers:
• The countless blessings of Allah, from rain to livestock, and their purpose
• The importance of gratitude and the dangers of arrogance and disbelief
• The perfection of divine revelation and the role of the Quran as guidance
• The contrast between truth and falsehood, light and darkness
• The call to patience, wisdom, and steadfastness in the face of opposition
Surah An-Nahl teaches that recognizing and appreciating Allah’s blessings leads to a life of purpose and fulfillment, while rejecting His favors results in loss and regret. It is a call to reflect on the signs of Allah and to submit wholeheartedly to His guidance.
