Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 12 & 13

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

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Al-Hijr Ayat 12 & 13_*

*كَذٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهٗ فِىۡ قُلُوۡبِ الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَۙ‏.(12)*

*لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِهٖ‌ۚ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ الۡاَوَّلِيۡنَ‏.(13)*

*_Thus we let it [disbelief] enter the hearts of the evildoers.(12)_*

*_They will not believe in it [the Qur’an], although the precedent of the earlier peoples is well established.(13)_*

اسی طرح ہم اس (تکذیب وضلال) کو گنہگاروں کے دلوں میں داخل کر دیتے ہیں.(12)

سو وہ اس پر ایمان نہیں لاتے اور پہلوں کی روش بھی یہی رہی ہے.(13)

This is the end result of not following the reminders of the Messengers and the Message, Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la sets a seal upon the hearts of the evildoers so that they get deeply engrossed in their ways of ridicule and mockery.‼️ *Over a period of time their hearts get hardened to receive any form of advise for correction.* _They get immersed in the sin to the depths and the erroneous path appears seemingly fair to them and they don’t stop there rather they start blasphemy with their mouths._ In their hearts, there is no longer a lamp that emits light that can guide and illuminate the path to truth. Their condition is the same as the condition of the previous people who used to receive the book of Allah Azzawajal that was delivered by the apostles, but nothing was left in their hearts and hence they couldn’t benefit from it. Hence they were punished for their wrong doings. The events and the fate of the previous nations should be a lesson and a admonition for the people after them, but these are the people who do not take lessons.

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that Heart is the place where the divine revelation and admonition makes an impact and brings changes into the attitude of an individual by softening their hearts and it is reflected in their behaviour.‼️ *When a person deliberately choses to close their hearts to revelation than Allah Azzawajal closes the revelation to them and hence they chose for them the path of destruction.* As Allah Azzawajal says

* ۗ *إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ*
*_Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. (Surah Al-Maeda 5:51)_*

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder upon and follow the Qur’an seriously and save us from going astray. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*

JazaK Allâhu khair!
