In this session on Surah Qaf, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores how the Quran's Messengers bring critical warnings about both immediate worldly destruction and the eventual afterlife.
He explains that the Quran consistently highlights how past nations, like those who perished in Prophet Nuh's (AS) flood, serve as reminders of the inevitable consequences in the hereafter.
