Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves into Ayahs 93 to 95 of the magnificent Surah Al Baqarah. In Ayat 93, "And (remember) when We took your covenant and We raised above you the Mount (saying), "Hold firmly to what We have given you and hear (Our Word). They said, "We have heard and disobeyed." And their hearts absorbed (the worship of) the calf because of their disbelief. Say: "Worst indeed is that which your faith enjoins on you if you are believers." When Musa (AS) brought the Torah to the Bani Israel, they only chose to follow rulings as they pleased. This is when the angels lifted Mt. Sinai over their heads to warn them. Allah tells them to judge their faith by seeing the result of their Iman. The Bani Israel claimed that Jannah is exclusively for them, and not anyone else. Allah SWT responds to this by saying that if they are certain that Jannah is for them, then they should wish for death. But they get terrified at the mention of death itself. In Ayah 95, we gather that the people knew that if they had wished for death, Allah would have finished them off right away. They knew that they were just making excuses to not believe in the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, because they desired this world.

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves into the mesmerising Tafseer of Ayats 96-98 of Surah Al Baqarah. Ayah 96 reiterates the fact that it is essential to not get completely involved in this world, and remember Allah (SWT) and the Hereafter come what may. Long Life won’t save one from accountability as this world is a prison for the believer and Paradise for the disbeliever. He who longs to meet Allah SWT is not afraid of death and if one is not prepared for death, they will wish that their death time is delayed. Allah SWT says that He knows what His servants are doing. The good and evil all is being noted down in our records and we will be compensated accordingly. Ayat 97 has Allah SWT elaborating that whoever becomes an enemy of Angel Jibreel who is the messenger of the Glorious Quran will have taken all the messengers as enemies. Also, whoever believes in one Messenger must believe in all of the Messengers. ► People must love and remember Allah SWT in their hearts. ► People must remember Him with their tongues in solitude and in a crowd. ► People must do the deeds that please Him and abandon those which displease Him.
