Page 157 - The Dangers of Corruption and Disorder

In Surah Al-A’rāf, verses 52-58, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf elaborates that Allāh  عَزَّوَجَلَّ asserts that the idolaters have received a clear message through the Book revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ,, leaving them with no excuse for their disbelief. The Book contains perfect knowledge, and on the Day of Judgement, the idolaters will regret their rejection of the truth and wish for a chance to return to life to perform good deeds. 

Allah  عَزَّوَجَلَّ then highlights His creation of the universe in six days, emphasizing His sovereignty as He sits on the Throne in a manner befitting His majesty. The verses call for sincere supplication to Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, reminding believers that He hears every prayer and dislikes excess in requests. Allāh forbids causing disorder on Earth, as corruption brings harm. Finally, Allāh  عَزَّوَجَلَّ illustrates His power through nature, sending rain to revive barren land and bringing life, paralleling this with the resurrection of humanity on the Day of Judgement.
