Nouman Ali Khan - Context & Meaning in the Quran

About this lecture

In this khutbah, Nouman Ali Khan offers a deep exploration of Surah Al-Isra, Ayah 36, unpacking the three interconnected faculties of hearing (sam'), sight (basar), and the impassioned heart (fu'ad), and how each shapes the next in a chain that ultimately determines our worldview and moral character. He warns against quoting Quran and Hadith without proper context, speaking on behalf of Allah or the Prophet ﷺ out of emotion, and the subtle arrogance that grows when we stop listening carefully and start judging freely. The lecture is a compelling reminder that real faith begins with real, attentive listening — and that biased hearing corrupts everything that follows.
