In this lesson of Surah Al-Anfāl, verses 9-16, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains that during the Battle of Badr, the Muslims invoked Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ for help, and Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ responded by sending a thousand angels to support them. The angels’ presence was a sign of Allāh's mercy, strengthening the hearts of the believers and causing slumber to overcome them as reassurance. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ also provided rain to solidify the ground, alleviating the fears of the Muslims and defeating the whispers of Shayṭān. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ commanded the angels to fight alongside the believers, striking terror into the hearts of the disbelievers. This event serves as a reminder of Allāh's power, wisdom, and His promise to support His believers when they are faithful. Victory is only from Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, and punishment is severe for those who defy Him.

In this lesson of Sūrah at-Tawbah, verses 69-72, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf reflects on the fate of disbelievers, drawing parallels with previous nations who were more powerful and wealthy but ultimately perished due to their wrongdoing. He highlights the transient nature of worldly enjoyment and warns against engaging in vanities. The lesson then shifts to emphasize the bond of solidarity among believing men and women, urging them to enjoin good, forbid evil, establish prayer, give zakāh, and obey Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Messenger ﷺ. Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan concludes with the promise of eternal rewards in Paradise for the believers, with Allāh's approval being the ultimate prize.…

In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 61-68, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses how these verses expose the deception and arrogance of the hypocrites. They mocked the Prophet ﷺ, calling him overly receptive, but Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ refutes their claim, affirming that the Prophet ﷺ listens only to what is good and beneficial. The hypocrites would swear false oaths to appease the believers, yet their true concern should have been to please Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Messenger ﷺ. When confronted, they dismissed their actions as mere jest, but Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ rejects their excuses, declaring their faith void. The lesson further highlights how the hypocrites promote wrongdoing while neglecting righteousness, ultimately severing their connection with Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ. As a result, they are cursed and destined for eternal punishment, their fate sealed by their own arrogance and betrayal of faith.…

In this lesson of Sūrah at-Tawbah, verses 55-60, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf elaborates on the deceptive nature of the hypocrites who place their trust in worldly possessions and family, oblivious to the reality of their punishment. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ reveals that their wealth and children will only be a means of torment in this life, and they will die in disbelief. The hypocrites falsely claim allegiance but are filled with fear, and they would run from the truth if they had a place to hide. The lesson also addresses their reaction to charity, where they show approval when they receive, but anger when excluded. The Prophet ﷺ is urged to remind them that contentment lies in trusting Allāh's provision. The verses conclude with a clarification of the proper recipients of zakāh, demonstrating the broader social and spiritual purpose of this obligatory charity.…

In this lesson of Sūrah at-Tawbah, verses 49-54, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses the reactions of hypocrites when faced with hardship or success. He explains how some seek to avoid responsibility by asking for permission to remain behind, but they have already fallen into trial, with Hell awaiting the disbelievers. The Shaykh highlights the hypocrisy of those who rejoice in your misfortune, while when things go well, they are distressed. The lesson underscores the importance of relying on the decree of Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ and how the true believer awaits either martyrdom or victory, unlike the hypocrites who only await punishment. Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf also reflects on the rejection of the hypocrites' charitable acts, explaining that their disbelief, laziness in prayer, and unwillingness to give prevent their actions from being accepted.…

In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 41-48, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discussed the command for believers to strive in Allāh’s cause with their wealth and lives, regardless of difficulty, as true faith is demonstrated through action. The passage exposes the hypocrisy of those who sought to avoid sacrifice, making false excuses and swearing deceitful oaths. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ rebukes them, making clear that those who truly believe do not hesitate when called to serve. Their insincerity is further highlighted by their lack of preparation, showing that they never intended to go forth. The verses also reveal that had they joined the believers, they would have only caused confusion and spread discord. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, in His wisdom, kept them back to protect the unity and strength of the sincere.…

In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 37-40, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discussed how the disbelievers manipulated the sacred months, altering their sanctity to suit their desires, leading to further misguidance. This deception made their evil deeds seem justified in their eyes, yet Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ makes it clear that such actions only increase them in disbelief. The verses then shift focus to the believers, questioning their reluctance to strive in Allāh’s cause and warning against attachment to the fleeting pleasures of this world at the cost of the Hereafter. A severe admonition follows, stating that if they fail to fulfil their duty, Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ will replace them with others, and their hesitation will not harm Him in the slightest. The lesson concludes with the profound moment of the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه in the cave during the Hijrah, where the Prophet’s ﷺ unwavering trust in Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ reassured his companion. These verses highlight divine support and the ultimate triumph of Allāh’s word.…

In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 34-36, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses Allāh’s عَزَّوَجَلَّ stern warning against corrupt religious leaders who exploit people's wealth unjustly and divert them from His path. The verses also condemn the hoarding of wealth without spending it in the way of Allāh, vividly describing the torment awaiting such individuals in the Hereafter as their hoarded gold and silver will be used to brand their bodies in Hell. Furthermore, Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ establishes the significance of twelve lunar months, highlighting four as sacred and commanding believers to uphold justice, avoid wrongdoing, and stand united against opposition, with the assurance that He is with the righteous.…

In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 28-33, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses the command barring polytheists from entering al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, highlighting how their impurity is both spiritual and ideological. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ reassures the believers that any economic fears arising from this restriction will be alleviated by His divine provision. The lesson then covers the obligation of jizyah upon the People of the Book, clarifying its role in maintaining justice and order. Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf also examines their theological deviations, such as the deification of scholars, monks, and prophets, and how these false beliefs echo past nations' errors. The passage concludes with a powerful affirmation that Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ has sent His Messenger ﷺ with the truth to establish it over all falsehood.…

In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 23-27, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses the prohibition of taking disbelievers as allies, even if they are close family members, when they choose disbelief over faith. The verses emphasise that true believers prioritise Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, His Messenger ﷺ, and striving in His cause above all worldly ties, warning against preferring family, wealth, or comfort over obedience to Allah. The lesson also reflects on the Battle of Ḥunayn, where the Muslims initially relied on their large numbers but were overwhelmed, reminding them that victory comes only from Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ. It highlights how Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ sent down His tranquility and unseen soldiers to aid the believers, demonstrating His power and support for the faithful. The passage ends with a reminder of Allah’s mercy, as He accepts repentance even after punishment, reinforcing that His guidance is granted to whomever He wills.…

25:16

In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 16-22, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses how Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ tests the believers to distinguish those who sincerely strive for His cause, remaining loyal to Him, His Messenger ﷺ, and the believers without forming close alliances with others. The passage strongly rebukes the polytheists for maintaining Allāh’s mosques while openly rejecting faith, declaring their deeds worthless and their ultimate abode as the Hellfire. Instead, true custodians of the mosques are those who believe in Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the Last Day, establish prayer, give zakāh, and fear none but Him. The verses also reject the idea that acts like providing water to pilgrims and maintaining the Sacred Mosque can be equated to true faith. True superiority in Allāh’s sight belongs to those who believe, emigrate, and sacrifice their wealth and lives for His sake. Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ honours them with glad tidings of His mercy, approval, and everlasting pleasure in Paradise.…

In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 7-15, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf delves into the conditions regarding treaties with the polytheists and their true intentions. He explains how the polytheists, despite appearing friendly, often act in betrayal, breaking their covenants and plotting against the believers. The verses emphasise that if they repent and uphold prayer and zakāh, they become brothers in faith. However, if they continue to defy their agreements and oppose the message, the believers are commanded to confront them. The lesson highlights the importance of loyalty to covenants, the call for justice, and the ultimate victory of truth, bringing comfort to the hearts of the faithful.…

In this lesson of Sūrah At-Tawbah, verses 1-6, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf discusses the significance of the Surah’s revelation, highlighting its declaration of disavowal towards idolators and the end of their peace treaties with the Muslims. The verses outline that idolators who had agreements with the Muslims were given a four-month grace period, after which they were to be confronted unless they repented and embraced Islam. Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan also explains the reason behind the absence of Bismillah at the beginning of this Surah and the critical message it carries regarding the purification of the Ḥajj rituals, including the prohibition on idolators performing Tawāf or Ḥajj. This lesson provides an in-depth reflection on the importance of upholding peace treaties, the call for repentance, and the necessity of implementing the pillars of Islam for the peace and safety of the Muslim community.…

In this lesson of Sūrah Al-Anfāl, verses 61-69, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf teaches key lessons on preparation of conflict, unity, and trust in Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Believers are commanded to prepare for conflict with power, including skills like archery, and to spend in the cause of Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ , with the promise of full repayment. When the enemy inclines towards peace, believers are urged to pursue it, trusting Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ for protection. The verses highlight Allāh’s favour in uniting the hearts of believers, transforming former enemies into brothers. Victory is tied to reliance on Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ, not numbers, and the initial burden of enduring ten enemies was later eased. The treatment of prisoners of war is also addressed, with the Prophet ﷺ accepting the advice of Abū Bakr رضي الله عنه to forgive and ransom them, aligning with Allāh’s mercy and the new allowance of spoils of war for the Ummah…
