Page 298 - Trusting Allah Over Worldly Wealth

About this episode

Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif discusses the lesson of humility and trust in Allah through the story of two men in Surah Al-Kahf.

In this episode of the Tafseer series, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif explains the powerful lesson from the story of two men in Surah Al-Kahf (verses 32–44). One man, blessed with wealth and resources, boasts of his superiority over a poorer companion, dismissing the possibility that his wealth could ever perish. However, his arrogance leads to his downfall when his gardens are destroyed, and he regrets not acknowledging the will of Allah. His companion, in contrast, remains humble and places his trust in Allah’s will. This story serves as a reminder to never become arrogant about worldly blessings and to always recognise that ultimate control lies with Allah alone.
