In this episode, Maulana Syed Abul Ala Maududi explores Surah An-Nazi‘at, a Makkan chapter that vividly describes the process of death, resurrection, and the consequences awaiting humanity on the Day of Judgment. The Surah contrasts the fates of the obedient and the rebellious, warning against arrogance and neglect of the Hereafter.
This episode covers:
• The oath by the angels, who seize the souls of the wicked and gently take the souls of the righteous
• The certainty of resurrection, despite the doubts of disbelievers
• The story of Pharaoh, as an example of arrogance and divine punishment
• The overwhelming events of the Last Day, striking fear into those who denied the truth
• The distinction between the righteous and the wicked, highlighting their final destinations
Surah An-Nazi‘at serves as a stern reminder of accountability and the fleeting nature of worldly power. It urges people to humble themselves before Allah, prepare for the Hereafter, and learn from the past mistakes of those who rejected divine guidance.
