Page 144 - The Parable of a Constricted Heart

In this episode, Shaykh Dr. Ahsan Hanif explores Surah Al-An'am, verses 125-132, shedding light on the themes of divine guidance and misguidance. Shaykh Ahsan explains how Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ opens the hearts to Islam, making faith accessible to those He guides, and describes the metaphor of a constricted heart for those who turn away from His message. The episode also examines how disbelievers, influenced by Shaytan, find faith heavy and burdensome, akin to climbing the sky, a parable for the inaccessibility of faith to their hearts. Additionally, Shaykh Ahsan discusses the notion of divine justice where wrongdoers are supported by one another, leading to their ultimate punishment.
