So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَYes, and now the adhan has been called for the Zuhr prayer, so we will respond to the caller, if Allah wills, and we ask Allah the Exalted for success for us and for you in what He loves and is pleased with, and that He grant us beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds.
