45 A Man of Many Masters | Striking Examples From the Quran | Nouman Ali Khan

In this episode, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores the profound parable in Surah Az-Zumar [39:29], where Allah compares a servant owned by multiple quarrelsome masters to a servant with only one master. This striking analogy highlights the chaos of serving conflicting influences versus the tranquility of submitting to one clear authority.
Ustadh Nouman breaks down the psychological, social and spiritual implications of this verse, showing how misplaced allegiances—whether to societal expectations, emotions, or personal desires—can create anxiety and instability. He explains how Islam provides clarity and relief by directing devotion to Allah alone, the only master who grants peace instead of demands. This powerful discussion challenges viewers to reflect on the influences they serve and how they can align their lives with the path of true liberation.
