16 The Parable of a Desert Traveller | A Deeper Look: Surah An-Naba

In this exclusive Bayyinah TV session, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores the tafseer of Surah An-Naba, focusing on its key themes of Judgment Day, creation and the true purpose of our lives. He begins by discussing how Allah vividly describes the Day of Judgment, urging us to reflect on our final destiny. In the second passage of the Surah, Ustadh Nouman highlights how Allah’s creative power is shown through the natural world—pairing mountains with flat earth, the sky with the moon as a lamp, and day with night. These pairs demonstrate balance and order in creation. Ustadh Nouman then asks a crucial question: If everything in this world has a counterpart, why do some people think that this life alone is enough, without an afterlife? Through this tafseer, Ustadh Nouman encourages us to rethink our understanding of life and death, reminding us that just as day is paired with night, this life is paired with the life to come. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For a more personalized and structured approach to studying the Quran and Arabic, sign up for Bayyinah TV at www.bayyinahtv.com.
