'The Father of the Flame: A Tafsir of Surat 111 - Lahab' delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on 29th June 2012 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester\n\nVideo: https://youtu.be/3Yhl2DfxPdY\n\nS\u016brat \u02bcl Lahab is a damnation of Ab\u016b Lahab and his family. Being the paternal uncle of the Prophet \ufdfa meant that he had a great responsibility to assist and support the Prophet \ufdfa. However, when he chose to oppose the Messenger \ufdfa, it was considered so evil by All\u0101h that he and his family have been damned in the Qur\u2019\u0101n for all eternity.\n\nHe is the only enemy of the Prophet \ufdfa mentioned in the Qur\u2019\u0101n by name. Despite all the wealth he amassed and the children he had, nothing could avail him before the wrath and punishment of All\u0101h and thus he is destined to enter the flaming fire of hell.\n \nAlong with his and his family's traitorous behaviour some of the core messages of this detailed exegeses is that, it is not who you are but what you do that is significant with All\u0101h, even if you are related to a Messenger \ufdfa. \n\nAlong with this message, we learn that no one is responsible for another\u2019s evil actions and behaviour. The Prophet \ufdfa says in a \u1e25ad\u012bth, "Whoever\u2019s deeds keeps him behind, his lineage will not propel him forward."
