اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah An-Nahl Ayah 49_*
*وَلِلّٰهِ يَسۡجُدُ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ مِنۡ دَآبَّةٍ وَّالۡمَلٰۤئِكَةُ وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡتَكۡبِرُوۡنَ.(49)*
*_To Allah prostrates all that is in the heavens and every living creature on earth, as do the angels, and they are not arrogant.(49)_*
اور تمام جاندار جو آسمانوں میں ہیں اور جو زمین میں ہیں سب خدا کے آگے سجدہ کرتے ہیں اور فرشتے بھی اور وہ ذرا غرور نہیں کرتے.(49)
This Ayah is a powerful description of universal submission to Allahﷻ‼️ That is Everything in the heavens and the earth prostrates to Allah ﷻ including all those whom people have been regarding as gods and goddesses, and considering to be closely related to Allahﷻ are subservient to HIM, and have no share whatsoever in HIS Godhead. The reality of every living thing prostrating itself before Allahﷻ is being intimated, that is it bows down before HIM and whatever form of bowing down that Allahﷻ has fixed for a particular kind of creature it bows down in that form. The angels also prostrate before the magnanimity of Allahﷻ and worship Him. The Qur’an mentions the angels apart from other beings so as to glorify their position and they never show any arrogance and they are always humble and they do not disdain to worship HIM, despite their large numbers and their great size and power.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand Allah’sﷻ absolute authority and dominion and the importance of humility and surrender.‼️ *It is highly inspiring scene, provided that we open our hearts, alert our senses and respond to what goes on in the universe around us.* _The Qur’ān expresses the notion of submission to Allah’sﷻ laws by prostration. This is indeed the most expressive aspect of submission._
–The term *Dabbah* denotes any sentient, corporeal being capable of spontaneous movement, and is contrasted here with the non-corporeal, spiritual beings designated as angels.” *Here it is being reminded to man.* _Oh man, they continue their purpose of existence without objection. You, as a being with will, are superior to them, you are different. Because you have will._ *They are subjected to static fate. You are subjected to dynamic fate as you have will to decide right and wrong.* If they have a purpose of existence, Oh man, you must have a purpose of existence too.
–Let’s constantly remind ourselves the purpose of our creation which is nothing but submission in toto to HIS will and commands.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la make it easy for all of us to abide by HIS commands and gain HIS pleasure. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
