اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

*_Today’s Thought for the day comes from Surah An-Nahl Ayah 128_*

*اِنَّ اللّٰہَ مَعَ الَّذِیۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا وَّ الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمۡ مُّحۡسِنُوۡنَ(128)*

*_”Indeed Allah is with those Who fear (Him), And those who are good-doers”.(128)_*

اللہ ان لوگوں کے ساتھ ہے جو تقوٰی سے کام لیتے ہیں اور احسان پر عمل کرتے ہیں.(128)

*This is the last Ayah of Surah An-Nahl.* _It is the highest consolation which the righteous men (man/women) can receive – *’The assurance that Allah Azzawajal is with them’.‼️* For such a high honour for *’Allah Azzawajal to be with them’;* A double qualification is indicated for so high a honour;_
_1) That they should not yeild to human passion or anger or impatience, and;_
_2) That they should go on continuously doing good all around them._

_*”Allah Azzawajal is with those who fear HIM”* (It is the Fear of losing Love or upset the one whom you Love, not the fear of fearful/scary) and because they scrupulously refrain from evil ways and always adopt the righteous attitude, for they know that their actions and deeds are not determined by the evils others do to them, but by their own sense of righteousness; so they return good for evil._

*_Act for the Day is:_* _To understand *’To Attain the Presence of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la’* in the sense of *”I am with you”* is the culmination of the righteous man’s aspiration._

_Let’s grow this desire in our hearts and do our best to achieve this qualification, *because Allah Azzawajal is with those who live in self-restraint A pure, good, and righteous Life.*_

*_We ask Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la to make us among those who fear HIM and do good. This is the end of the commentary on Surah An-Nahl. All praise and thanks are for Allah Azzawajal, and May the blessings and peace of Allah Azzawajal be upon Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alahi wa Sallam his family, and his Companions abundantly until the Day of Judgement._*

*_May Allah Azzawajal accept this humble attempt and forgive the mistakes and shortcomings. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah An-Nahl Ayah 127_*

*وَ اصۡبِرۡ وَ مَا صَبۡرُکَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰہِ وَ لَا تَحۡزَنۡ عَلَیۡہِمۡ وَ لَا تَکُ فِیۡ ضَیۡقٍ مِّمَّا یَمۡکُرُوۡنَ.(127)*
ا
*_And be patient, and your patience is not but from Allah. And do not grieve over them and do not be in distress over what they plot.(127)_*

ے محمد ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ، صبر سے کام کیے جاؤ ۔ اور تمہارا یہ صبر اللہ ہی کی توفیق سے ہے ۔ ان لوگوں کی حرکات پر رنج نہ کرو اور نہ ان کی چال بازیوں پر دل تنگ ہو.(127)

_This ayah is directly addressed to the Prophet (PBUH), *’Do thou be patient.’* It is a command; his standard as the Great Teacher is much higher; and he carried it out in his life._
_His patience and self-restraint were under circumstances of extraordinary provocations. In his human wisdom it may sometimes have seemed questionable whether forbearance and self-restraint might not be human weakness; he had to defend his people as well as himself against the enemy’s persecutions. He is told here that he need not entertain any such fears. Patience (with constancy) in those circumstances was in accordance with Allah’s own command._

*_Act for the Day is:_* to understand that the Qur’ān encourages the Prophet SAWS, and every Dae’e of Islam as well, not to grieve when they see people turning their backs on Allah’s guidance. They have their duty to fulfil.‼️ *Guiding people aright or leaving them to go astray are matters determined by Allah Azzawajal, in accordance with HIS laws of nature which control people’s souls and their striving to follow guidance or to turn away from it*.❗

_Let’s understand, very clearly the Command of Allah SWT to our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and behave accordingly in similar circumstances. We shall neither grieve if our efforts of conveying the Noble message is not being accepted nor let our hearts feel the pain of failure, (due to the secret plots of the unbelievers against us). Allah Azzawajal would protect us all. Keep walking – the Sunnah way/style. Our duty is to pass on the message with complete Patience._

_*Let’s not forget that Patience and Perseverance is indeed an indispensable Key to Success”*_

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to stand firm upon our duty and save us from the tyrants. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah An-Nahl Ayah 126_*

*وَ اِنۡ عَاقَبۡتُمۡ فَعَاقِبُوۡا بِمِثۡلِ مَا عُوۡقِبۡتُمۡ بِہٖ ؕ وَ لَئِنۡ صَبَرۡتُمۡ لَہُوَ خَیۡرٌ لِّلصّٰبِرِیۡنَ.(126)*

*_”And if you retaliate, retaliate with an equivalent of that with which you were afflicted. But if you are patient – it is better for those who are patient.”(126)_*

اور اگر تم لوگ بدلہ لو تو بس اسی قدر لے لو جس قدر تم پر زیادتی کی گئی ہو ۔ لیکن اگر تم صبر کرو تو یقینا یہ صبر کرنے والوں ہی کے حق میں بہتر ہے.(126)

According to the majority of commentators, this Ayah is Madani. It was revealed in relation to the shahadah of seventy Sahabah Radiallahu Anhum and about the event in which Hamzah RA was killed and his body was subjected to post-killing mutilations (muthlah)‼️. The narration in Sahih al-Bukhari is in accordance with it.

_In the context this ayah refers to controversies and discussions, but the words are wide enough to cover all human struggles, disputes, and fights. In strictest equity you are not entitled to give a worse blow than is given to you. *But those who have reached a higher spiritual standard do not even do that.* They restrain themselves, and are patient._

_The statement of Allah SWT: “Only those who are patient shall receive their rewards in full, without recokening”._ (Refer S39:A10).
_Narrated Abu Musa RA.,The Prophet (PBUH) said, “None is more patient than Allah against the harmful saying. He hears from the people, they ascribe a son (or offspring) to Him, yet He gives them health and supplies them with provision.”_ (Sahîh Al-Bukhârí, Vol. 8, hadith 121).

*_Act for the Day is:_* _Never to Think that patience only gives advantage to the adversary (competitor/opponents/enemy), we are told that it is contrary to what we think; *the advantage is with the patient, the self-restraint, self-possessed, those who do not lose their temper or forget their own principles of conduct.*_

_Let’s remind ourselves that, *”Patience and Perseverance is indeed an Indispensable Key to Success.”*_

To always remember that Aggression is an action that must be repelled with similar force in order to preserve the dignity of the truth and to ensure that falsehood does not triumph. Response to aggression, however, must not exceed the limits of repelling it.‼ *Islam is the faith of justice and moderation, peace and reconciliation.*❗ It repels any aggression launched against it or its followers, without committing any aggression against others.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to develop patience and perseverance in practicing the Deen. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*

*_Today’s Thought for the day comes from Surah An-Nahl Ayah 125_*

*اُدۡعُ اِلٰی سَبِیۡلِ رَبِّکَ بِالۡحِکۡمَۃِ وَ الۡمَوۡعِظَۃِ الۡحَسَنَۃِ وَ جَادِلۡہُمۡ بِالَّتِیۡ ہِیَ اَحۡسَنُ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّکَ ہُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَنۡ ضَلَّ عَنۡ سَبِیۡلِہٖ وَ ہُوَ اَعۡلَمُ بِالۡمُہۡتَدِیۡنَ(125)*

*_”Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction and discuss with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of those who are Guided”.(125)_*

اے نبی ، اپنے رب کے راستے کی طرف دعوت دو حکمت اور عمدہ نصیحت کے ساتھ ، اور لوگوں سے مباحثہ کرو ایسے طریقہ پر جو بہترین ہو ۔ تمہارا رب ہی زیادہ بہتر جانتا ہے کہ کون اس کی راہ سے بھٹکا ہوا ہے اور کون راہ راست پر ہے (125)

_In this wonderful Ayah, a whole curriculum of Da’wah and Tabligh, its principles and rules of etiquette, within the frame of a few words
is laid down which are good for all time.‼️ But where are the Teachers with such qualifications? Invite all to the Way of Allah, and expound His Universal Will. Our manner and our arguments should not be acrimonious, but modelled on the most courteous and the most gracious example, so that the hearer may say to himself, *’This man is not dealing merely with dialectics; He is not trying to get a rise out of me; he is sincerely expounding the Faith that is in him, and his motive is the Love of man and Love of Allah’.*_

*_Act for the Day is:_* _To understand that Calling people towards Allah *(Da’wah ilallah)* has been made *obligatory on the Muslim Ummah following in the footsteps of the Noble Prophet* SWS It was said in Surah Aal-e-Imran
*_And there has to be a group of people from among you who call towards the good.(3:104)_* And in another Ayah, it was said *_And who is better in utterance than the one who called (people) towards Allah_*. (Ha Mim as-Sajdah/Fussilat, 41:33)

—To understand the beautiful methodology defined by Allah SWT in calling people to HIS way. *We must invite people with Wisdom, discretion and experience, which may be very narrow, or very wide.* Make sure that our preaching must be, not dogmatic, not self-regarding, not offensive, but gentle, considerate and such as would attract their attention. *And never force anyone.*_

_Our intention shall be to seed the word of Allah Azzawajal and it is HE who will germinate in people’s mind. It is not for us to look for results. Man’s inner thoughts are known best to Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la_

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to fulfil this responsibility with patience and perseverance. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah An-Nahl Ayah 124_*

*اِنَّمَا جُعِلَ السَّبۡتُ عَلَى الَّذِيۡنَ اخۡتَلَفُوۡا فِيۡهِ‌ؕ وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَحۡكُمُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ فِيۡمَا كَانُوۡا فِيۡهِ يَخۡتَلِفُوۡنَ‏.(124)*

*_The Sabbath was only ordained for those who differed concerning it. Verily your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differed.(124)_*

ہفتے کا دن تو ان ہی لوگوں کے لئے مقرر کیا گیا تھا۔ جنہوں نے اس میں اختلاف کیا۔ اور تمہارا پروردگار قیامت کے دن ان میں ان باتوں کا فیصلہ کردے گا جن میں وہ اختلاف کرتے تھے.(124)

in this ayah the objection of the polytheists is being answered as to why this prophet does not give the command concerning the observance of Sabbath.‼️ *They have been answered that the command for Sabbath was not given in the Shariah of Prophet Ibrahim(AS), but that it was for the Jews on account of special circumstances, and since this Prophet SAWS has been given basically the same Shariah which was given to Prophet Ibrahim(AS), there are no severe restrictions like Sabbath in it.*
There is no doubt that for every nation, Allah Azzawajal prescribed one day of the week for people to gather to worship HIM. *For this Ummah HE SWT prescribed Friday, because it is the sixth day, on which HE SWT completed and perfected HIS pleasure on creation. On this day HE SWT gathered and completed HIS blessings for HIS servants*. _It was said that Allah SWT prescribed this day for the Children of Israel through HIS Prophet Musa(AS), but they changed it and chose Saturday because it was the day on which the Creator did not create anything, as HE SWT had completed HIS creation on Friday. Allah Azzawajal made observance of the Sabbath obligatory for them in the laws of the Tawrah (Torah), telling them to keep the Sabbath. At the same time, He told them to follow Muhammad SAWS when he was sent, and took their promises and covenant to that effect._ Hence Allah Azzawajal says: *_The Sabbath was only prescribed for those who differed concerning it”_*

*The severe commands for observing this day was put because of their dispute.* Had they agreed to observe Friday as a special day, then such severe commands would not have been given. Thereafter, when the Christians came, they also differed in the matter of Sabbath and instead of Saturday, they reserved Sunday as a special day for themselves. *But the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) got Friday by the grace of Allah Azzawajal. When they were given special commands regarding observance of Friday, they did not disagree.* Thus the day of Friday, with which the week begins came to the lot of Muhammad’s(SAWS ) Ummah. Jews remained a day behind because of Saturday and the Christians two days behind because of Sunday.

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that the prohibition imposed on the Day of Sabbath was a means for moral discipline.to the children of Israel. The Jews stubbornly implemented the Saturday ban as a show of piety, even though they never observed it spiritually and made to look like a ritual. However, the Christians, despite believing in the Torah, knowing it as a part of the Bible, even as the original of the Bible, as its ancestor, thought that this ban was specific to that day and started a theological polemic by saying that its ruling is not valid today, and it has been cancelled, that is, it has been abrogated and chose Sunday at the time of Constantine in order to be different from the Jews, and they started to pray towards the east instead of facing the Dome (i.e., Jerusalem).

_To be really carefully about our attitude towards the commands of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.  We should be the ones who say, *“We heard and we obeyed,” and not follow what our nafs inspires us to do.*_

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to abide by HIS commands and stay in submission till our last breath. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
