The First Story Revealed In The Quran Surah Al Qalam

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delivers a beautiful lecture with regards to Surah Al Qalam and we get acquainted with the different aspects of the positive uses of wealth by analyzing the story of the Companions of the Garden in the Surah. The Surah bears testimony and highlights the magnanimity of the Prophet ﷺ as opposed to the misguided who reject him and his guidance.  The story being discussed here is that of a family from Yemen who inherited their father's wealth but did not inherit his character. It bears numerous lessons for the Muslim believer in every phase of his life. Some of them can be summarised as below: The blessedness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ - his noble character and emphasis is laid on it. The evil behaviour and the devious and treacherous ways of the non believers is brought to the fore. A mention of the people of Paradise as opposed to the evil polytheists. The Day of Resurrection and the disbelievers torments and punishments that will be meted out to him. A word of comfort to the Noble Prophet ﷺ to persevere and exercise patience against the evil men. The glory of the Noble Qur’an.
