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 41_*
*وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَا فِىۡ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوۡا ؕ وَمَا يَزِيۡدُهُمۡ اِلَّا نُفُوۡرًا.(41)*
*_We have explained [the truth] in this Qur’an in various ways, so that they may pay heed, but it only increases them in aversion.(41)_*
اور ہم نے اس قرآن میں طرح طرح کی باتیں بیان کی ہیں تاکہ لوگ نصیحت پکڑیں گے۔ مگر وہ اس سے اور بدک جاتے ہیں.(41)
The Ayah emphasises the purpose of the Qur’an is to remind and guide the entire Mankind upon a straight path.‼️The word *Sarrafana صَرَّفْنَا* has the double sense of revealing little by little, as well as varying the revelation, i.e., presenting the reminder in a variety of ways (to gain hearing and acceptance). *The Qur’ān preaches the faith of Allah Azzawajal’s oneness, presenting it in a variety of ways, styles and methods and the things are explained in the Qur’an from all points of view, individual and national, by means of l stories, parables, and figures of speech, and by way of categorical commands so that people may ‘take warning*
Allah ﷻ mentions four times the same Ayat that says that HE SWT has made this Qur’an easy to remember, (Ref Qamar: 17)
*_And indeed, We have made the Quran easy for remembrance and instruction, so is there anyone who will take heed?(54:17)_*
But those who are obstinate, they are not influenced by any counsel. They give wrong meaning to the teachings of Qur’an, with the result that their distance from the truth goes on increasing. The textual word *“nafara نُفُوْرًا* ” means to bolt away in aversion. The repeated explanations and warnings should have softened their hearts and awakened their minds, so that they would follow the call of the Qur’an. However, these explanations only made them run away from the Qur’an.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand this basic fact that accepting the faith based on Allah Azzawajal’s oneness does not require more than a reminder and a reference to uncorrupted human nature. It only needs to reflect on the various signs presented in the universe.‼️The reason for not accepting the Qur’an and its teachings is because the heart itself is diseased and when it suffers then it cannot differentiate between the right and wrong paths.
To ponder upon the Ayat where Allah ﷻ said that the Quran is for us to learn from and HE SWT Himself has made it easy, why don’t we learn from it? Why do we still only read it without understanding? Why do we only learn Tajweed and do not pay any heed to ponder upon its Ayat and its tafseer.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to learn the Qur’an with its meaning and take heed in our lives to obey the commands and stay away from its prohibitions. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
