43. Like Flies in a Trap | Striking Examples From the Quran | Nouman Ali Khan

In this episode, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan explores the powerful parable of the spider’s web mentioned in Surah Al-‘Ankabūt [29:41-43]. He explains how Allah uses the weakest of homes—the spider’s web—to describe the fragile nature of false alliances, deceptive power structures and transactional relationships. Through real-world examples, he highlights how manipulation and control operate at various levels, from political empires to personal relationships.
The discussion also examines how people get trapped in modern economic and social systems, much like flies caught in a web. Ustadh Nouman contrasts these weak, self-serving connections with the genuine brotherhood and sincerity found in Islam. This session provides deep insights into how the Quran exposes invisible traps and guides us toward a stronger, more authentic way of living.
