Summary: Surah Al-Rum (30:11-21). Faith and good deeds are the ultimate discriminators in the Hereafter. In this lecture: the unrighteous on the Day of reckoning; tasbeeh as a purification for the believer; the dynamism of Arabic in gleaning commands from news; the disinclination of the companions to analyze commands; salaat and the order of angels; human origination from dust as a sign for all humanity; compatibility and sukoon in marriage; the many shades of rahmah. A Muslim's perception of the truth transcends the confines of the first heaven.
