This lecture covers verses 122-131 of Surah An'aam. Sheikh Azhar talks about:
- How the most powerful people in society tend to be most opposed to social change
- Stubbornness
- Jinn
- God's punishment

The lecture covers the following verses:

6:122 - Is he who was lifeless, then We gave him life and provided him with a light by which he walks among the people, like one who dwells in a manifold darkness which he cannot leave? To the faithless is thus presented as decorous what they have been doing.

6:123 - Thus have We installed in every town its major criminals that they may plot therein. Yet they do not plot except against their own souls, but they are not aware.

6:124 - When a sign comes to them, they say, ‘We will not believe until we are given the like of what was given to Allah’s apostles.’ Allah knows best where to place His apostleship! Soon the guilty will be visited by a degradation and severe punishment from Allah because of the plots they used to devise.

6:125 - Whomever Allah desires to guide, He opens his breast to Islam, and whomever He desires to lead astray, He makes his breast narrow and straitened as if he were climbing to a height. Thus does Allah lay [spiritual] defilement on those who do not have faith.

6:126 - This is the straight path of your Lord. We have already elaborated the signs for a people who take admonition.

6:127 - For them shall be the abode of peace near their Lord and He will be their guardian because of what they used to do.

6:128 - On the day He will gather them all together, [He will say], ‘O company of jinn! You claimed many of the humans.’ Their friends from among the humans will say, ‘Our Lord, we used each other, and we completed our term which You had appointed for us.’ He will say, ‘The Fire is your abode, to remain in it [forever], except what Allah may wish.’ Indeed your Lord is all-wise, all-knowing.

6:129 - That is how We make the wrongdoers one another’s friends because of what they used to earn.

6:130 - ‘O company of jinn and humans! Did there not come to you apostles from yourselves, recounting to you My signs and warning you of the encounter of this Day?’ They will say, ‘We testify against ourselves.’ The life of this world had deceived them, and they will testify against themselves that they had been faithless.

6:131 - This is because your Lord would never destroy the towns unjustly while their people were unaware.
