## Resource

In this episode, we reflect on powerful lessons from Surah An-Naml through the stories of Bilqis, Prophet Salih عليه السلام, and destroyed nations of the past. We explore how environments shape belief, how false ideologies and companionship influence the heart, and why even intelligent people can become blinded by normalized falsehood. We also reflect on the destructive consequences of oppression, both against others and against ourselves, and the path Allah gives for true safety: iman and taqwa.
