In this short snippet from our Deeper Look series ‘Surah Al-Muzzammil’, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan reflects on Surah Al-Qalam (68:44–45), revealing how the Quran exposes the psychology behind denial. The people of Makkah rejected the Prophet ﷺ not because they misunderstood him, but because his message threatened their position.
Ustadh explains that faith in Allah dismantles man-made hierarchies. In Islam, wealth, power, and class no longer define worth, only character and faith do. Allah replaced a visible social hierarchy with a hidden spiritual one, known only to Him.
This reminder extends far beyond Makkah. Even today, people resist parts of Islam when those teachings challenge their comfort or their image. But the Quran invites us to a different kind of success, one that no one else can see, but Allah values most.
