Page by Page - Shaykh Ahsan Hanif

In this episode, Shaykh Dr. Ahsan Hanif explores Surah Al-An'am, verses 118-124, offering the guidelines for lawful consumption of meat. He explains the critical importance of mentioning the name of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ during slaughter and the prohibition of eating meat slaughtered in the name of other than Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. These verses address the practices of the idolaters of Quraysh and their misguided beliefs, such as consuming the flesh of dead animals and making offerings to their idols. The episode also explores how Shaytan misleads people into believing these harmful practices are acceptable and discusses the broader implications of these practices, including the deceptive schemes of disbelievers and their inevitable failure. Shaykh Ahsan further describes the metaphorical comparison between a believer, guided by the light of faith, and a disbeliever, lost in darkness.
