In this episode, Shaykh Dr. Ahsan Hanif discusses the critical lessons found in Surah Al-An'am, verses 151-157, where Allah  عَزَّوَجَلَّ represent a direct command to the Prophet ﷺ, outlining essential prohibitions and obligations for all believers. Among the first commands is to avoid shirk as in associating any partners with Allah  عَزَّوَجَلَّ. In these verses treating parents with respect and kindness is linked to success in this world and the hereafter. Allah  عَزَّوَجَلَّ further forbids the killing of children due to fear of poverty, a practice prevalent among the pre-Islamic Arabs. 

Immoral actions, both public and private, are strictly forbidden. The command to deal justly and fairly in all matters is another key message in these verses, along with the prohibition against cheating or deceiving others in financial dealings. Shaykh Ahsan emphasises that following these laws leads to salvation, while rejecting them leads to ruin. Allah  عَزَّوَجَلَّ further affirms in these verses that the Qur’an is His final revelation, a clear guide and criterion for distinguishing right from wrong.
