Surah Al Isra – Ayah 9 & 10

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

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Al-Isra Ayat 9 & 10_*

*اِنَّ ہٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ یَہۡدِیۡ لِلَّتِیۡ ہِیَ اَقۡوَمُ وَ یُبَشِّرُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ الَّذِیۡنَ یَعۡمَلُوۡنَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ اَنَّ لَہُمۡ اَجۡرًا کَبِیۡرًا(9)*

*وَّ اَنَّ الَّذِیۡنَ لَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَۃِ اَعۡتَدۡنَا لَہُمۡ عَذَابًا اَلِیۡمًا(10)*

*”Indeed, this Qur’an, guides to that which is most straight and gives glad tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward”(9)*

*”And that those who do not believe in the Hereafter – We have prepared for them a painful punishment”.(10)*

حقیقت یہ ہے کہ یہ قرآن وہ راہ دکھاتا ہے جو بالکل سیدھی ہے ۔ جو لوگ اسے مان کر بھلے کام کرنے لگیں انہیں یہ بشارت دیتا ہے کہ ان کے لیے بڑا اجر ہے.(9)

اور جو لوگ آخرت کو نہ مانیں انہیں یہ خبر دیتا ہے کہ ان کے لیے ہم نے دردناک عذاب مہیا کر رکھا ہے.(10)

_The message of the Qur’an is for all and easy to Understand for all, provided a sincere effort is made‼️._

The way to which the Qur’an guides has been called *’aqwam*,’ the most upright. *’Aqwam*’ can be explained by saying _that it is a way that is closer to the destination, is easy and free of dangers at the same time. (Qurtubi)_ *This tells us that the rules set for human life by the Holy Qur’an are a combination of all three features mentioned above.*
_Those who have faith and show that faith in their conduct, must reap their spiritual reward. *But those who reject Faith cannot escape punishment.* There is spiritual Hope – and a spiritual danger – for every soul._

*_Act for the Day is:_* to understand that the Qur’ān ensures harmony between man’s outward and inward existence, feelings and behaviour, faith and action. In all this it shows the way to what is ‘most upright’, linking all these aspects to the true and unseverable bond that exists between man and Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la. This enables man to look up to a higher horizon while he is still on earth.‼️ *The Qur’ān establishes a perfect balance between duties and abilities*

_To practically make the Qur’an available for all. And, its our duty to put good deeds into action for the sake of spiritual benefits and not for the sake of any other purposes._

_We shall instruct humankind in righteousness; warn and shield humankind Against evil. But, remember that nothing can lessen Each soul’s personal responsibility For its own deeds. *It carries its fate Round its own neck.* Allah Azzawajal’s gifts are for all, but not all receive The same gifts, nor are all gifts are of equal dignity or excellence._

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder upon the Qur’an and make it easy for us to implement it in our daily life. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*

Surah Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah Ayat 52 Daily Qur’an & Hadith (12, Dec 2024)

English Translation of Al-Quran

[41]. Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah (Prostration) also known as Surah Fussilat [They Are Explained in Detail]

Ayat 52. Say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) “Tell me, if it (the Qur’an) is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, who is more astray than one who is in opposition far away (from Allah’s Right Path and His obedience).

Tafseer of Surah Ha-Mim Al-Sajdah (or Surah Fussilat) Ayat 52. Say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) “See ye if the (Revelation) is (really) from Allah, and yet do ye reject it? Who is more astray than one who is in a schism far (from any purpose)?”  An argument is now addressed, of a most searching nature. Examine your own souls. See if you do not really find something unusual in Allah’s Revelation! If you do, and yet you reject it, what a terrible responsibility fastens itself on you? Could anything be more foolish or more misguided than to reject a Message which is transforming the whole world? “If you resist the convictions of the whole world, you are only forming a Cave or a narrow obscure sect or schism, which serves no purpose, and is unfit to live in the broad light of Universal Religion.’ Cf. 2:176

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “My parable and that of yours is like a man who kindled a fire. When it was illuminated all around him, the moths and grasshoppers began to fall therein. He tried to push them away, but they overcame him and jumped into it. I am catching hold of your waist’s ties (to save you) from fire, but you slip away from my hands”.

[Muslim Book 030, Chapter 06, Hadith # 5672].

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah Ayat 52. “The Qur’an) is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, who is more astray than one who is in opposition far away” This Hadith mentions the extreme kindness which the Prophet ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) had for the welfare of his followers. It also mentions the misfortune of those who would become the fuel of Hell for not accepting Islam in spite of the utmost affection and ardor of the Prophet ﷺ (PBUH) to bring them in the fold of Islam. People who fail to accept Islam would fall in the Hell-fire in the same way moths fall in the fire.

Surah Al Isra – Ayah 9

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 8_*

*عَسٰى رَبُّكُمۡ اَنۡ يَّرۡحَمَكُمۡ‌ ۚ وَاِنۡ عُدْتُّمۡ عُدۡنَا‌ۘ وَجَعَلۡنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ حَصِيۡرًا‏.(8)*

*_It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, but if you repeat [the mischief], We will repeat [the punishment]. And We have made hell a place of detention for the disbelievers.(8)_*

امید ہے کہ تمہارا پروردگار تم پر رحم کرے، اور اگر تم پھر وہی (حرکتیں) کرو گے تو ہم بھی (وہی پہلا سلوک) کریں گے اور ہم نے جہنم کو کافروں کے لئے قید خانہ بنا رکھا ہے(8)

This Ayah Offers hope for mercy, Warns of repeated punishment and describes the purpose of creation of Hell.‼️ After the Bani Israil were inflicted with punishment they should have taken this destruction a way leading to seeking Allah Azzawajal’s mercy if the right lesson is drawn and acted upon. *But if the Jews revert to spreading corruption on earth, then the law will inevitably operate and the punishment will again be inflicted.* _They certainly did revert to their corrupt ways and plotted against the final Messenger SAWS, then Allah Azzawajal sent the Muslims against them who drove them out of Arabia. They did this again with the same results, until HE SWT caused them to be humiliated during the twentieth century._ *We see now how they have again reverted to tyranny and corruption in the state of Palestine which uses very cruel tactics against the Palestinians, the owners of the land.* _Allah Azzawajal is certain to send HIS servants against them who will make them suffer much for their corruption in fulfilment of HIS firm warning and in accordance with HIS law which never fails. We need only wait and see this take place._

Besides that, Allah Azzawajal has prepared the punishment of Hellfire as an eternal prison for them in the hereafter, because that is the punishment that is fitting for those who do not want to believe and commit disobedience persistently.

*_Act of the Day is_* to understand that the purpose of narrating these events relating to the Bani Isra’il in the Qur’an and making Muslims listen to them is to let Muslims understand that they are no exceptions to this divine law.‼️ *Be it this mortal world or the eternal universe of their Faith, their honor and ascendancy, possessions and wealth are inseparably tied with obedience to Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la.* _Whenever they veer away from their obedience to Allah Azzawajal and the Noble Prophet SAWS, their enemies and disbelieving tyrants of all sorts shall be empowered to prevail over them. When this happens, the desecration of their places of worship will also not remain too far._

–To understand that Allah Subhanahu wa Taa’la has made two places on this Earth to serve as the Qiblah or orientation for those who worship HIM, *Earlier the Baytul-maqdis and later the Baytullah*. But, the divine law relating to each of them is different. _Baytullah shall be protected and that disbelievers shall never take it over is a security concern that Allah Azzawajal has taken it upon Himself. But, this law does not apply in the case of Baytul-maqdis. Instead, as the Ayat cited above tell us, when Muslims go astray and start indulging in disobedience and sin, this Qiblah will be snatched away from them and it will pass into the control of disbelievers._

–To understand that the only weapon system and military hardware with which Baytul-maqdis and Palestine can return to Muslim hands are still there waiting to be picked up. *The only solution is to Return to Allah Azzawajal genuinely and passionately. Have certitude of Akhirah. Obey the injunctions of the Shariah. Stay away from imitating and trusting others in our social and political goals*. Finally, let us place our trust in Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la in all our affairs.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder and reflect and gain HIS help through our total submission to HIM in every aspect of our life. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*

Surah Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah Ayat 51 Daily Qur’an & Hadith (11 Dec. 2024)

English Translation of Al-Quran

[41]. Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah (Prostration) also known as Surah Fussilat [They Are Explained in Detail]

Ayat 51. And when Allah show favour to man, he withdraws and turns away, but when evil touches him, then he has recourse to long supplications.

Tafseer of Surah Ha-Mim Al-Sajdah (or Surah Fussilat) Ayat 51. When We bestow favour on man, he turns away, and gets himself remote on his side (instead

of(4524) coming to Us); and when evil seizes him, (he comes) full of prolonged prayer! The last verse and note dealt with men’s distortion of the values of life. Here we come to men’s ingratitude and hypocrisy. If they receive good, they go farther away from Allah, instead of coming nearer to him. If they suffer ill, they call on Allah and offer prolonged prayers, but it is not sincere devotion and therefore worthless.

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said,  “There are three signs of a hypocrite: When he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is trusted, he betrays his trust.” Another narration adds the words: ‘Even if he observes fasts, performs Salat and asserts that he is a Muslim”.

[Al-Bukhari Volume 08, Book 73, Hadith # 117].

Lesson: A hypocrite is the one who professes Islam before the Muslims but conceals hatred and animosity against them. This double-dealing is worse than Kufr. This is the reason the Noble Qur’an has declared about them that they will be in the lowest depths of Hell. The hypocrites referred to here lived at the time of the Prophet (PBUH) and he was informed about them through Wahy (Revelation). It is very difficult to identify the class of hypocrites in this age. It is almost impossible to know the hypocrisy of Faith. The practical hypocrisy is, however, now very common among the Muslims. It can be identified on the strength of the traits which have been stated in the Hadith about them. These traits are very common among many of the present-day Muslims. Their conduct bears the marks of hypocrisy. This practical hypocrisy is, however, not Kufr as is the case with the hypocrisy of Faith.
