اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Ibrahim Ayah 45_*
ا
*وَّسَكَنۡتُمۡ فِىۡ مَسٰكِنِ الَّذِيۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَـكُمۡ كَيۡفَ فَعَلۡنَا بِهِمۡ وَضَرَبۡنَا لَـكُمُ الۡاَمۡثَالَ.(45)*
*_You lived in the dwellings of those who had wronged themselves, and it was clear to you how We had dealt with them; We presented to you many examples.(45)_*
اور جو لوگ اپنے آپ پر ظلم کرتے تھے تم ان کے مکانوں میں رہتے تھے اور تم پر ظاہر ہوچکا تھا کہ ہم نے ان لوگوں کے ساتھ کس طرح (کا معاملہ) کیا تھا اور تمہارے (سمجھانے) کے لیے مثالیں بیان کر دی تھیں.(45)
The Ayah depicts a scene of the Day of retribution when the tyrants and the disbelievers ask for respite for some time to mend their ways and follow the Messengers.‼️ Allah Azzawajal makes them recall their life on earth wherein they lived in the same dwellings and places wherein the tyrants lived and were made aware of their fate as to how they were punished, yet they didn’t heed and took lessons from their life and made Tawbah.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand and learn from the example which the history presents to us of the wrongdoers who succeed earlier tyrants.‼️ *In fact, those predecessor tyrants were destroyed by their own hands, yet these followed in their footsteps and tyrannised like them.* _They take no heed of the lessons they see in front of their eyes. Hence, like them, they are put to the same fate. The same dwellings will be rid of them after a while._
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder upon the history and take heed. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
