Summary: Surah Sad (38:73-85). It is not always in the rejection of God that one becomes a kāfir. Kufr can also come about by the rejection of God’s command. In this lecture: istikbār and kufr; the hukm and its rationale; the myopia of Iblīs; rajm and rajīm; the evil genius of Iblīs, his stratagems and his insinuations: al-nafs al-lawwāmah; the apparatus of dhikr; the Haqq as the reason for every ‘why’.
