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.

In this lesson of Sūrah Al-A'rāf, verses 44-51, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores the striking dialogue between the people of Paradise and the people of Hellfire. The former declare that they have found Allāh's promise to be true and ask the latter if they have also found His warning to be true. The dwellers of hell acknowledge their punishment in response. This exchange emphasises the anguish and regret of the people of Hell, who are reminded of their arrogance and rejection of faith in the worldly life.

The verses also introduce the people of Al-A'rāf, those whose deeds are equally balanced between good and evil, situated on an elevated place between Paradise and Hell. They express their longing to enter Paradise while pleading to Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ not to place them among the wrongdoers. The lesson concludes with the humiliation of the people of Hellfire as they beg for water and provisions from the people of Paradise, but are denied.

In this lesson of Sūrah Al-A’rāf, verses 37-43, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores the fate of idolators and the consequences of their actions in the Hereafter. He discusses how those who invent lies against Allāh عَزَّوَجَلَّ or reject His signs will face severe repercussions, with their deeds determining their ultimate fate. The lecture describes the moment of death when angels confront the idolators, highlighting their despair as they realise their false gods are powerless to aid them.

Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf further explains the turmoil in Hell, where the inhabitants will curse and blame one another for their misguidance. The lesson serves as a stark reminder that the gates of Heaven will remain closed to those who deny Allāh's Ayat, while the believers who have acted righteously will be rewarded with eternal life in Paradise, free from envy and hatred.
