Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 21

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

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Al-Hijr Ayah 21_*

*وَاِنۡ مِّنۡ شَىۡءٍ اِلَّا عِنۡدَنَا خَزَآئِنُهٗ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهٗۤ اِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعۡلُوۡمٍ‏.(21)*

*_And there is not a thing but its sources are under Our control, and We send it down only in a predetermined measure.(21)_*

اور ہمارے ہاں ہر چیز کے خزانے ہیں اور ہم ان کو بمقدار مناسب اُتارتے رہتے ہیں.(21)

The Ayah describes absolute ownership of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la over each and everything in the universe and there is no source other than HIS treasures to obtain the things.‼️ *No creature owns, or has power over, anything rather it is HE SWT who grants it to HIS creation, in their respective worlds, according to a defined measure.* _Nothing is given or provided arbitrarily rather HE gives to whomever HE wills and and HE withholds from whomever HE wills, according to HIS all encompassing wisdom and mercy._ As Allah (SWT) says in Surah Ash-Shuraa

*_Had Allah given abundant provisions to ˹all˺ His servants, they would have certainly transgressed throughout the land. But He sends down whatever He wills in perfect measure. He is truly All-Aware, All-Seeing of His servants.(42:27)_*

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la has a clear plan for all HIS creation.‼️ We can understand this by pondering over this historical fact that *when the human population on the earth was limited, the produce of the earth at that time was also limited.* _But today when the population has risen to billions, the produce of the earth has also increased tremendously. It is a clear proof of the fact that Allah Azzawajal has the treasures of everything and HE SWT produces them according to a definite plan. The quantity of air, water, corns, fruits, etc., used by such a vast masses of humanity is limitless, but this has not caused any shortage in the treasures of Allah Azzawajal._

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder and reflect and strengthen our Imaan and draw close to HIM through our Obedience. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
