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 77_*
*وَ لِلّٰہِ غَیۡبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضِ ؕ وَ مَاۤ اَمۡرُ السَّاعَۃِ اِلَّا کَلَمۡحِ الۡبَصَرِ اَوۡ ہُوَ اَقۡرَبُ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیۡءٍ قَدِیۡرٌ(77)*
*_”And to Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. And the matter of the Hour is but as a twinkling of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allah is All-powerful on everything.(77)_*
اور زمین و آسمان کے پوشیدہ حقائق کا علم تو اللہ ہی کو ہے ۔ اور قیامت کے برپا ہونے کا معاملہ کچھ دیر نہ لے گا مگر بس اتنی کہ جس میں آدمی کی پلک جھپک جائے ، بلکہ اس سے بھی کچھ کم ۔ حقیقت یہ ہے کہ اللہ سب کچھ کر سکتا ہے.(77)
The Ayah describes the perfection of Allah’sﷻ knowledge of the unseen and HIS omnipotence.‼️ _The key to all things – not only those which we see and understand, but those which we do not see or of which we have no idea – is with Allahﷻ, Whose knowledge and Power are Supreme._
_*Lures of this world and its fleeting pleasures often make man forget that the life of the Hereafter is an imminent reality.* Many of those who claim to believe in the life to come act and behave as if it belonged to a distant future, and had no relevance to their present activities and mode of living._
_The Qur’an repeatedly reminds man that the Hour of Reckoning is not a distant possibility, but very close to man, and could come to pass any moment. Therefore, *”now is the time to consider this matter seriously and to decide about our attitude towards it.”*_
*_Act for the Day is:_’* to understand that although human knowledge of outer space and the current state of the earth is very advanced, what we do not know is much greater.‼️ *When humans reach the moon, they will still be faced with the mystery and secrecy of the planets Mars, Venus, and others.* In fact, these planets are like grains of sand in the middle of the vast Sahara when compared to the vastness of the universe. Likewise regarding the condition of the earth. No geologist can predict exactly when an earthquake or a volcano will erupt. No one can be sure what will happen tomorrow, when death will come to him, and where he will be buried. All of these are matters of the unseen for humans. However, this ignorance is a great mercy of Allahﷻ for humans so that they can make plans and actions according to their wishes and expect the outcome.
_Let us read and understand the Qur’an regularly and consistently, so that we can be reminded of the Hour of Reckoning._
_*And lets always be on alert and watchful to steer clear of all forms of sin and impiety*, for when the promised Hour comes it will come all of a sudden and without any prior notice, it will come in the twinkling of an eye or even take less time than this._ (Please also Read from Quran S10:A45; S30:A55; S45:A32)
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder and reflect upon the reminders and take heed. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
