About this episode
In the third episode of The Quran for Hearts & Minds: The Power of Maqamat, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan and Qari Ibraheem Bakeer reflect on one of the most dramatic moments in the Quran, when Bani Isra’il are saved from Pharaoh’s tyranny, only to fall into complaint, disobedience, and forgetfulness (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:49 –57). Qari Ibraheem’s recitation in Maqam Kurd captures the emotional tension of this passage: the helplessness of the Israelites, the overwhelming power of Allah’s rescue, and the tragedy of a nation that couldn’t stay grateful. Ustadh Nouman unpacks how this story isn’t just about the past. It’s a mirror. A warning for any believer who sees Allah’s mercy… then chooses comfort over submission. ------------------------------ 📚 Start your Quran journey at https://www.bayyinahtv.com 🎁 Sponsor a soul who seeks the Quran with a Bayyinah TV membership at https://bayyinah.com/gift
