Page 156 - The People of Al-A’rāf

  • Summary

  • 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.
