Introduction.
0:10
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
0:12
And may peace and blessings be upon the most noble of prophets.
0:15
And messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
0:19
And upon all his family and his Companions.
0:22
To proceed:
0:24
This is a series discussing our mother Hawwa.
0:28
Through the verses of the Noble Qur'an.
0:31
The story of our mother Hawwa has been mentioned.
0:34
Along with our father Adam, peace be upon him, in three surahs.
0:37
In Surah al-Baqarah and Surah al-A'raf.
0:40
And Surah Taha.
0:42
The story is an educational tool.
0:45
It has a profound impact on the human soul.
0:48
It appears in the Qur'an in many places.
0:51
To serve as a lesson, guidance, and mercy for us.
0:55
As Allah the Almighty said:
0:57
“In their history verily there is a lesson for men of understanding. It is no invented story but a confirmation of the existing (Scripture) and a detailed explanation of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for folk who believe.” (12:111)
1:04
“In their history verily there is a lesson for men of understanding. It is no invented story but a confirmation of the existing (Scripture) and a detailed explanation of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for folk who believe.” (12:111)
1:07
"But [it is] a confirmation of what was before it,
1:13
and a detailed explanation of all things,
1:19
and guidance and mercy."
1:24
Sayyid Qutb, may Allah have mercy on him,
1:26
addresses the stories in the Qur'an in various places and contexts.
1:32
These contexts for which the stories are presented
1:36
are what determine the flow of the narrative,
1:39
the specific episode presented,
1:42
the form in which it appears,
1:45
and the manner in which it is delivered,
1:48
in harmony with the spiritual, intellectual, and artistic atmosphere
1:53
in which it is presented.
1:55
Thus, it fulfills its objective role,
1:58
achieves its psychological purpose,
2:01
and creates its intended resonance.
2:04
Some people mistakenly believe there is repetition
2:07
in the Qur'anic stories,
2:09
because a single story
2:11
may be presented repeatedly in different surahs.
2:14
However, a discerning look
2:17
confirms that no story or event
2:20
has been repeated in the exact same form,
2:23
in terms of the amount of detail provided,
2:26
the method of delivery, or the context.
2:29
Rather, wherever an episode is repeated,
2:32
there is something new presented
2:35
that negates the reality of mere repetition.
2:38
We shall continue in a future meeting, if Allah wills.
2:41
And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
