Ep 7 - Fear Allah, Not People | Dhul Hijjah 2026 | From Jerusalem to Makkah | Nouman Ali Khan

Su questo video

Allah says almost the same thing three times in this passage: turn your face toward the Sacred Mosque. The Quran doesn't repeat without purpose. In this episode, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explains what the repetition is pointing to in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:149–150): every action we take should carry the same direction, the same purposefulness, as turning toward the Ka’bah in prayer. It cannot be that we face the Qibla for salah and then turn every other direction in our dealings, our character and our commitments. Allah makes the point explicit: turn toward Me so that people will not have a case against you on the Day of Judgment. Don't be afraid of them. Be afraid of Me. Ustadh Nouman connects this to the story of Ibrahim (AS), for whom standing against the pressure of people meant being thrown into fire and for whom Allah completed His favor anyway. The same promise is extended to us. Follow along with the series using the companion workbook.
