57 Driven by Their Urges | A Deeper Look: Surah Al-Qamar

The Quran often uses natural phenomena to illustrate spiritual truths, drawing parallels between human behavior and elements of the natural world. In this context, the comparison of disbelievers to locusts serves as a poignant metaphor. Like locusts, which swarm destructively, driven solely by instinctual needs, disbelievers are depicted as following their fleeting desires without purpose or reflection. This portrayal underscores the futility of living driven by base urges, highlighting the profound consequences of such a life at the time of divine reckoning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For a more personalized and structured approach to studying the Quran and Arabic, sign up for Bayyinah TV at www.bayyinahtv.com.
