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 12_*

*وَجَعَلۡنَا الَّيۡلَ وَالنَّهَارَ اٰيَتَيۡنِ‌ فَمَحَوۡنَاۤ اٰيَةَ الَّيۡلِ وَجَعَلۡنَاۤ اٰيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبۡصِرَةً لِّتَبۡتَغُوۡا فَضۡلًا مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلِتَعۡلَمُوۡا عَدَدَ السِّنِيۡنَ وَالۡحِسَابَ‌ؕ وَكُلَّ شَىۡءٍ فَصَّلۡنٰهُ تَفۡصِيۡلًا‏.(12)*

*_We have made the night and the day as two [of Our] signs. We obscured the sign of the night with darkness and gave light to the sign of the day, so that you might seek the bounty of your Lord and know the number of the years and the reckoning of time. And We have explained all things in detail.(12)_*

اور ہم نے دن اور رات کو دو نشانیاں بنایا ہے رات کی نشانی کو تاریک بنایا اور دن کی نشانی کو روشن۔ تاکہ تم اپنے پروردگار کا فضل (یعنی) روزی تلاش کرو اور برسوں کا شمار اور حساب جانو۔ اور ہم نے ہر چیز کو (بخوبی) تفصیل کردی ہے.(12)

The Ayah describes the most perfect power and wisdom of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la in the alternation of the Day and Night.‼️ *Day and night are two events that always alternate which are very useful for the welfare of human life in carrying out religious obligations and worldly affairs.* _The divine arrangement is such that humans and animals go to sleep in the darkness of that very night. In fact, the whole world sleeps simultaneously in harmony with its night. Had different people been scheduled to sleep at different timings, the noises made by those awake and those working at jobs would have turned the sleep of the sleeping into a nightmare. As for the day being bright, it has two elements of wisdom. Firstly, one can earn his living in the light of the day and natural light is needed for jobs, businesses and industries. Secondly, the alternation of night and day helps one know the number of years, for instance, the completion of three hundred and sixty days tells us that a full year has gone by._ Allah Azzawajal has made the *night a sign* having distinguishing features by which it is known. These features include the darkness and the appearance of the moon. *The day also has distinguishing features* by which it is known; the light and the appearance of the shining sun. *HE SWT made a distinction between the light of the moon and the light of the sun, so that they may be distinguished from one another.* Whoever observes and thinks about the change of day and night will certainly be convinced that this universe is regulated by very good and *precise rules, and also shows that its regulator is very precise.* _Thus, humans will be guided to acknowledge the existence of the Creator of this universe and all its contents._

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand the wisdom that underlies variety in the world and not get confused and long for monotonous uniformity.‼️ *In fact, the whole system is based on variety, distinctiveness and diversity in things and without this variety there would have been hardly any activity in the world.* _Likewise great wisdom lies in the creation of the people with different temperaments, thoughts and inclinations. If Allah Azzawajal had made all men righteous by birth or annihilated disbelievers and wicked people and left only believers and submissive people in the world, the purpose of men’s creation could not leave been realised._ Therefore, it is wrong to desire that there should only be day and no night. *The righteous thing is that people, who have the light of guidance, should exert their utmost to remove the darkness of deviation.* It is our duty that if we find darkness like that of night, we should pursue it like the sun so that the light of guidance should reappear.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la enlighten our Imaan through HIS guidance and constant support and save us from deviations and going astray. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Al-Isra Ayah 11:_*

*وَ یَدۡعُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَآءَہٗ بِالۡخَیۡرِ ؕ وَ کَانَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ عَجُوۡلًا(11)*

*_”And man prays for evil as he prays for good, and man is ever hasty.”(11)_*

انسان شر اس طرح مانگتا ہے جس طرح خیر مانگنی چاہیے ۔ انسان بڑا ہی جلد باز واقع ہوا ہے.(11)

_Man in his ignorance or haste mistakes evil for good, and desires what he should not have‼️. *That is why AIlah says, “Man does so because he is very hasty and impatient,”* He prays to Allah for alI such things as are the immediate need of the time, though often *subsequent experience shows that if Allah had granted his prayer, it would have been very harmful to him.*_

This is a common weakness of a human being, in which men and women are equal participants. Besides this general meaning or the Ayah, it particularly refers to the infidels of Makkah who were demanding of the Prophet (Sallal Lahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that he should hasten the Divine punishment about which he was warning them. They are being told that for them good has come down from their Lord in the form of Qur’an and their reaction should have been that they would pray for this good for themselves from their Lord, but instead of rushing to this good fortune they are demanding for punishment, which if it came down would be an evil consequence for them.

*_Act for the Day_* is: _To have patience and *never put our own desires above the Wisdom of Allah. Receive the favours of Allah with contentment and pray to be rightly guided in our desires and petitions.*_

As Allah Azzawajal says in Surah Yunus:

*_If Allah were to hasten evil for people as they wish to hasten good, they would have certainly been doomed. But We leave those who do not expect to meet Us to wander blindly in their defiance.(10:11)_*

–A true believer should know that everything happens by the will of Allah SWT, in accordance with HIS laws and in accordance with HIS decrees and regulations.
*A believer should avoid praying for evil as much as they can*. Abu Bakr Al-Bazzar recorded in his Musnad that Jabir(RA) said, “Allah’s Messenger SAWS said:

_“Do not pray against yourselves, do not pray against your children, do not pray against your wealth, for your prayer may coincide with a time of response from Allah and Allah will respond to you.”_

This Hadith was also recorded by Abu Dawud. (Abu Dawud 2:185)

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to have patience and Tawakkul in all situations. Aameen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen_*
