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 72_*
*وَاللّٰهُ جَعَلَ لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡ اَنۡفُسِكُمۡ اَزۡوَاجًا وَّ جَعَلَ لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡ اَزۡوَاجِكُمۡ بَنِيۡنَ وَحَفَدَةً وَّرَزَقَكُمۡ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِؕ اَفَبِالۡبَاطِلِ يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ وَبِنِعۡمَتِ اللّٰهِ هُمۡ يَكۡفُرُوۡنَۙ.(72)*
*_Allah has given you spouses of your own kind and has given you, through your spouses, children and grandchildren, and provided you with good things as sustenance. Will they then believe in falsehood and show ingratitude for the blessings of Allah,(72)_*
اور خدا ہی نے تم میں سے تمہارے لیے عورتیں پیدا کیں اور عورتوں سے تمہارے بیٹے اور پوتے پیدا کیے اور کھانے کو تمہیں پاکیزہ چیزیں دیں۔ تو کیا بےاصل چیزوں پر اعتقاد رکھتے اور خدا کی نعمتوں سے انکار کرتے ہیں.(72)
_Some people have this false and baseless belief that there are certain gods and goddesses, jinns and saints, dead and alive, who possess the power to make or mar their fates, fulfil their desires and answer their prayers, give them children, cure their diseases and help them win law suits._
_*The Qur’an considers such an association to be the denial of Allah’s favours.* It puts forward the fundamental principle: *It is the denial of the favour of the real benefactor to offer gratitude for his favour to anyone who has not done that favour,* or to presume without any proof or reason that the real benefactor has not granted that favour of his own accord but because of the mediation or regard or recommendation or intercession of this or that person._
*_Act for the Day is:_* _To put little thought to the fact of nature around us, and it will prove itself to us that It is *Allah alone,* Who has made wives for us from our own species and *HE Alone* bestowed upon us sons and grandsons from our wives, and provided for our sustenance *Of the best.*_
_Women was made to be a mate or companion for man; of the same nature as man, and therefore with the same moral and religious rights and duties; *And she is to be considered source of blessing and as one of the favours (Ni’mah) of Allah SWT.*_
_Just as the sons are considered as source of strength, so daughters and grandchildren should serve and contribute to the happiness of father and grandparents, and are to be looked upon as further blessings._
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder and reflect and show our gratitude through our Obedience to HIS commands. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
