Page 216 - The Reward of Faith and Taqwa

In this lesson of Sūrah Yūnus (verses 62–70), Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf reflects on the honour and reward promised to the awliyā’ (close allies) of Allāh, who live with faith and consciousness of Him. These verses provide comfort and assurance to the believers, stating that such individuals will neither fear nor grieve, and they will receive glad tidings in both this life and the next. The passage reminds us that honour belongs solely to Allāh, who is fully aware of all speech and actions. Shaykh Aḥsan also highlights the futility of associating partners with Allāh, exposing the baseless assumptions made by those who ascribe false beliefs to Him. The lesson closes with a stern warning to those who invent lies about Allāh, as their brief enjoyment in this world will be followed by severe punishment in the Hereafter.
