Allah reminds His servants that He is the Most Forgiving and Most Merciful, while His punishment is also severe. The verses then recount the visit of the angels to Ibrāhīm with the glad tidings of a son and their mission to punish the corrupt people of Lūṭ, saving his family except his wife. Their arrival to Lūṭ confirms the truth of the coming punishment and the command to leave by night, showing Allah’s mercy for the believers and His justice upon those who persist in wrongdoing.

Iblees is warned of his expulsion and vows to mislead mankind, yet Allah assures that His chosen servants remain protected on the straight path.

The verses address the disbelief and mockery of those who reject the message, highlighting the divine decree behind the rise and fall of nations. The Surah reminds that no community exceeds its appointed term and emphasizes that Allah sends messengers with truth, even though past peoples often ridiculed them. These verses showcase both the certainty of divine wisdom and the consequences of persistent denial.

In this closing passage of Sūrah Ibrāhīm, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explains Allah’s warning that His delay in punishing the wrongdoers is not neglect but part of His perfect justice, a Day will come when hearts are empty with fear, and eyes fixed in horror. The verses remind humanity of past nations who ignored the truth and of the unbreakable promise that Allah’s justice will prevail.

In this lesson of Sūrah Ibrāhīm (verses 19–22) Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Ḥanīf explores how Allah reminds humanity of His supreme power and ability to replace one creation with another, a truth that leaves no room for arrogance or disbelief.
