In this episode, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores the profound parable in Surah An-Nur [24:40], where Allah describes the state of disbelief as being lost in an endless, relentless ocean. This verse paints a vivid picture of a person trapped in layers of darkness, surrounded by waves upon waves, with clouds above blocking all light.
Ustadh Nouman breaks down the depth of this metaphor, explaining how sin, misguidance and desensitization create a hopeless environment for those who reject divine guidance. He contrasts this with the believer’s stability, highlighting how faith acts as an anchor in the storm of life. Through this discussion, he uncovers the consequences of being spiritually lost and the only way back to the light.
