Summary: Surah Al-Qasas, verses 51 through 56. Acknowledging you have a Rabb is a prerequisite to believing. In this lecture: the mindset of a believer, submitting to the ruboobiyyah of Allah (S); rejection by the world not reason enough to reject the truth; the twofold reward of sincere believers: firstly for their belief, and secondly, for their resilient persistence in it; repelling evil with good from a position of strength; practical ramifications of these verses applicable in our trying times of free speech and expression; refrain from vain discourse as an attribute of steadfast believers; example in Musa (A) engaging Fir'awn in debate from a position of strength. The passion of the believer is to honor the prophet (S), follow his example, and hold true to the believer's code of conduct. The greatest insult one can levy against the prophet (S) is to deny he is the last Messenger.
