In this deeply reflective lecture, Dr. Yasir Qadhi explores one of the most haunting and profound stories in the Qur’an — the story of Adam’s two sons, found in Surah al-Ma’idah (5:27–31).
Two brothers offer sacrifices to Allah — one accepted, the other rejected. What follows is a story of jealousy, arrogance, and the first murder in human history.
Through this tragic tale, the Qur’an teaches timeless lessons about sincerity, taqwa, envy, repentance, and the inner battle of the soul.
💫 Key insights discussed:
“Allah accepts only from the righteous” – sincerity and taqwa matter more than the deed’s form.
The root of sin is arrogance and jealousy, not ignorance.
The power of self-control: better to suffer injustice than to commit it.
Nature as a teacher: even a crow can remind us of Allah’s wisdom.
Guilt vs. repentance: only turning to Allah erases sin.
Jealousy (hasad) destroys good deeds and blinds the heart.
The weight of murder: every unjust killing traces back to the first murderer.
Dr. Yasir Qadhi also addresses the controversial “ʿAbd al-Ḥārith” narrative, explaining why it is not authentic and how critical scholarship distinguishes between sound revelation and Isra’īliyyāt (foreign myths).
This story reminds us that every act of injustice begins within the self — when envy, arrogance, or unchecked desire overpower the fear of Allah. True faith refines the soul before it corrupts the world around it.
📖 “If anyone kills a person unjustly, it is as if he has killed all mankind; but if anyone saves a life, it is as if he has saved all mankind.” — Qur’an 5:32
