Ramadan with the Qur’an – Day 18: Surat Ad-Duha

Explaining the context of Surat Ad-Duha, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan says that according to several narrations, the surah came down at a moment of sadness in Prophet Muhammad’s life when no Qur’an was revealed to him for a few days.

When the Prophet starts doubting himself and getting anxious, Allah gave him a beautiful consolation, telling him that he was wrong, that He has not abandoned him and promising him that he will reach the end of his mission and witness its results.

These verses, says Khan, are also a message of hope to us. They teach us that sometimes we will experience gaps in our connection with Allah, but that we can always come back.
