Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 22

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 22_*

*‌وَاَرۡسَلۡنَا الرِّيٰحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَاَنۡزَلۡنَا مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَسۡقَيۡنٰكُمُوۡهُ‌ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ لَهٗ بِخٰزِنِيۡنَ.(22)*

*_And We send the fecundating winds and bring down rain from the sky, thus providing you with water; you are not in control of its sources.(22)_*

اور ہم ہی ہوائیں چلاتے ہیں (جو بادلوں کے پانی سے) بھری ہوئی ہوتی ہیں اور ہم ہی آسمان سے مینہ برساتے ہیں اور ہم ہی تم کو اس کا پانی پلاتے ہیں اور تم تو اس کا خرانہ نہیں رکھتے.(22)

The Ayah describes that the absolute control of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la over water which is an important for each and every living being on this planet.‼️ _HE SWT has set in motion its unique system of delivering water from the sea all over the earth by creating vapours in the sea which generated the substance of rains (the monsoons) and on top of it fanned the winds (Lawaqih= to impregnate) which would transform it into clouds making them as if they were mountain-like planes laden with water. Then, comes the task of having these giant planes carrying their cargo of water reach every nook and corner of the world where it must reach. And then this mission is accomplished directly under Divine command whereby these gigantic autoplanes would rain down a specific quantity of water over a specific area of the earth, as commanded._

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand and thank Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la for setting such wonderful system in place for sustaining our lives on this planet.‼️ *The creation of water is in itself a great blessing*. Then, making it reach all regions of the earth is the *second blessing*. Then, making it potable is the *third blessing.* Then, giving human beings the opportunity to drink it is the *fourth blessing*. Then, the formidable system of collecting and preserving water according to its need is the *fifth blessing*. And then, giving men and women of this world the ability to benefit by it is the *sixth blessing* so on and will never end and we will be unable to count.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to reflect and ponder and remain grateful to HIM for every blessing. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
