Surah An Nahl


Theme

Gratitude for the blessings


Start and end of surah

The surah begins and ends with taqwa (consciousness of Allah).This shows us that the greatest blessing of Allah upon the creation is that He will be with them when they have taqwa of Him (cautiousness of Him).


Topics in the surah

  • The blessings of Allah upon His creation in this world and in the next.
  • The reason why people disbelieve in the hereafter.
  • The ways people deny the blessings.
  • An example of gratitude through Ibrahim (عليه السلام).

Lessons from the surah

  1. Allah commands those who have provision to be grateful and those who have been restricted to be patient.
  2. When the bee follows the commands, honey comes out from it. This is an instruction from Allah to His slaves, to follow His commands and carry them out until beneficial goodness and blessings come out for the whole society.
