Behind the Scenes is a series that answers the questions burning within our hearts. It is an endeavor that looks to elaborate the Qur'an as it was revealed, ayah by ayah. Join Shaykh Abdullah Waheed and Mufti Abdul Rahman Waheed for a relaxed conversation about the Qur'an every Wednesday at 9:30 pm on YouTube and Facebook Live.
In Surah Layl, Allah SWT is adjusting how the Muslims view wealth, as the Companions would struggle in regards to their financial status. Essentially, Allah SWT is telling us not to care what others think and to only care about the status with Allah SWT. Even at the highest moment of his life, the Heavenly Ascent, the Prophet SAW was still described as a "servant," not as a king or different honorific.
