اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Al-Hijr Ayat 74 & 75_*
*فَجَعَلۡنَا عَالِيـَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَ اَمۡطَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ حِجَارَةً مِّنۡ سِجِّيۡلٍؕ.(74)*
*اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّـلۡمُتَوَسِّمِيۡنَ.(75)*
*_And We turned [their city] upside down and let loose upon them a shower of stones of baked clay.(74)_*
*_Surely in that there are signs for the discerning.(75)_*
اور ہم نے اس شہر کو (الٹ کر) نیچے اوپر کردیا۔ اور ان پر کھنگر کی پتھریاں برسائیں.(74)
بےشک اس (قصے) میں اہل فراست کے لیے نشانی ہے.(75)
The form of punishment that befell Lut’s(AS) people happened in *three stages* :
1)In the form of a thunderous and frightening thunder sound.
2) Overturning the city of Sodom, so that the layer of soil that was originally above was turned into the layer below;
3)Showering them with stones(Baked clay).
_It is Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la who does as HE wills, when HE SWT can shower beneficial rains HE SWT can also shower stones upon the defiant sinners._
*_Act of the Day is:_* to pay attention and draw lessons from the events described in the Qur’an.‼️ _The term *mutawassimun* denotes ‘one who applies his mind to the study of the outward appearance of a thing with a view to understanding its real nature and its inner characteristics._ In reality, these sites and the events associated with them are full of moral lessons for everyone having insight. But, it is the good fortune of believers only who would benefit by learning what these sites teach, while others would go through these sites as tourists and leave empty-handed.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder and take measures to avoid HIS Wrath and Anger. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
