Surah An Nahl – Ayah 95

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 95_*

*وَ لَا تَشۡتَرُوۡا بِعَہۡدِ اللّٰہِ ثَمَنًا قَلِیۡلًا ؕ اِنَّمَا عِنۡدَ اللّٰہِ ہُوَ خَیۡرٌ لَّکُمۡ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ(95)*

*_”And do not exchange the covenant of Allah for a small price. Indeed, what is with Allah is best for you if you only knew.”(95)_*

اللہ کے عہد کو تھوڑے سے فائدے کے بدلے نہ بیچ ڈالو ، جو کچھ اللہ کے پاس ہے وہ تمہارے لیے زیادہ بہتر ہے اگر تم جانو.(95)

_This ayah is referring to, “The Covenant(Faith) that people may make in the name of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la as a representative of HIS religion.”‼️_
_It does not mean that they should barter away Allah Azzawajal’s Covenant for some big gain. *What it implies is that any worldly gain howsoever great, is insignificant as compared with the worth of Allah Azzawajal’s Covenant*._

_Therefore, it will be a losing bargain to barter that away for any worldly gain, which is after all insignificant/negligible._

*_Act for the Day is:_* _Never to break our Covenant/Promises, for any gain.‼️_ *Let’s learn Prioritising faith over materialism by recognising Allah Azzawajal’s rewards as it surpasses these paltry wordly benefits.”*

_Let’s understand the *Value of the Law of Allah SWT* very clearly, that any possible gain that can be made by breaking the Covenants and thus *breaking Allah’s Law* must be necessarily be miserable, while our own benefit is far greater in *obeying Allah Azzawajal’s Will* and doing right._

This Ayah reminds us:

1. To prioritise spiritual growth.
2. To resist worldly temptations.
3. To trust Allah Azzawajal’s plan.
4. To seek eternal rewards.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la strengthen our Imaan and grant us the ability to remain firm upon Deen. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
