Page 138 - The Consequences of Shirk

In this lesson of Sūrah Al-An’ām, verses 84-90, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf reflects on the lineage of prophets and their shared commitment to divine guidance. Allah mentions how He bestowed upon Ibrāhīm (Abraham) righteous descendants, including Ishāq (Isaac), Ya‘qūb (Jacob), and other key prophets like Dāwūd (David), Sulaymān (Solomon), Mūsā (Moses), and ‘Īsā (Jesus), each one favored and guided by Allāh. 

The lesson highlights Allāh’s reward for their righteousness and steadfastness, emphasizing that had they associated partners with Him, their deeds would have been void. The passage concludes with an exhortation for Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ to follow their example, presenting the Qur’ān as a reminder for all of humanity and seeking no worldly reward for his message.
