Author’s Quotation (Faiz ul Hassan)
After reading Surah Ar’af, I learned about a clear path that leads to Allah’s Goodwill. Meanwhile, it warns me about the Devil’s various tricks and the importance of obeying Allah’s Orders. Although its vivid depictions of Paradise inspired optimism, its sobering warnings of Hell forced accountability. I gained insight, thankfulness, and a stronger dedication to morality by putting its lessons into practice.
