- 📖 An opportunity to reflect on Allah’s creation. Qur’an 88:19 invites reflection on the mountains and how they were established.

The scenery can prompt gratitude and contemplation; this is a general Qur’anic lesson, rather than a virtue unique to Al Hada.

The Prophet’s ﷺ experience of rejection associated with Ta’if illustrates his patience and mercy:

he hoped that future generations would worship Allah alone instead of accepting the offer to destroy the people.
