In this short clip from Surah Al-Ahzab, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores a verse that is widely quoted but rarely understood in its full context:
لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ
(33:21)
"You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful model."
This Ayah is often cited in lectures, celebrations and public talks about the Prophet ﷺ, but what was happening around it in the Surah? Ustadh Nouman highlights how this Ayah was revealed in a time of immense pressure, cultural resistance and emotional difficulty. It wasn’t just about the Prophet’s personal habits. It was about his courage, his leadership and his steadfastness when everything was shaking.
