Summary: Surah Al-Qasas, verses 71 through 77. Allah (S) is the Lord and Guardian of all who are subordinate to Him as well as those who are insubordinate to Him. In this lecture: Divine mercy in the alternation of day and night; using sensory perception to exercise shukr as the basis for loving Allah (S); the result of shukr and the result of arrogance; the wealth bestowed on Qaroon and his arrogance on account of it; the implicit command to speak out against social vices; the authority of prophets over their people; nobility in speech as the way of Allah (S) and the way he recommended to his prophets. If you have authority, then make sure you don't let your authority bring you disgrace.
