اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Al-Isra Ayah 37_*
*وَلَا تَمۡشِ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ مَرَحًا ۚ اِنَّكَ لَنۡ تَخۡرِقَ الۡاَرۡضَ وَلَنۡ تَبۡلُغَ الۡجِبَالَ طُوۡلًا.(37)*
*_”And do not walk upon the earth with insolence. Indeed, you will never tear the earth (apart), and you will never reach the mountains in height”.(37)_*
زمین میں اکڑ کر نہ چلو ، تم نہ زمین کو پھاڑ سکتے ہو ، نہ پہاڑوں کی بلندی کو پہنچ سکتے ہو.(37)
_Insolence/conceit (pride, rude and disrespectful), or arrogance, or undue elation at our power or capacities, is the first step to many evils.‼️ *This instruction warns against the ways of tyrants and vain people and is not merely meant for the individual, but also for the collective conduct of the Muslim Community.*_
_It was because of this guidance that the rulers, governors and commanders of the Islamic State which was established on the basis of this Manifesto, were free from every tinge of tyranny, arrogance, haughtiness, pride and vanity, so much so that even in the battlefield they never uttered a word which had the slightest indication of any of these vain things._
_*Their gait, dress, dwelling and conveyance showed humility.* In short, their ways of conduct were not those of “big ones” but those of humble persons. That is why they never tried to overawe the people of a conquered city by show of pomp and pride._
*_Act for the Day is:_* to understand that *Arrogance is to take yourself superior to others and rate others to be inferior to you*‼️. Severe warnings against it appear in Hadith. Imam Muslim has reported on the authority of ‘Iyyad ibn ‘Ammar RA that the Prophet SAWS said, *”Allah Ta’ala has sent this command to me through revelation: Take to humility. Let no man pride on another man, nor adopt an attitude of self-eminence and let no one be unjust to anyone.”* And Abdullah ibn Mas’ud RA narrates that the Noble Prophet SAWS said, *”Not to enter Paradise is he who has arrogance in his heart even to the measure of a particle”* ( Sahih of Muslim). And it has been reported in Hadith Qudsi on the authority of Abu Hurairah RA that the Noble Prophet SAWS said, *”Allah Ta’ala says that grandeur is My mantle and greatness is My breech. Whoever tries to snatch these from Me, him I shall put in Jahannam* . So, whoever betrays the wish to become associated with Allah Ta’ala in this attribute belongs to Hell
_To shun insolence (rude and disrespectful behavior), for Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la hates it, and we as Individuals (at any cost) cannot tear down the earth nor can grow as big as mountains._
_To understand that Ego is the root cause of many evils. We shall Practice being Polite & Humble/soft hearted at every stage of life – with every relation and every human being we come across._
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to remain Humble in every moment of our life and save us from following the footsteps of shaitan. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
