Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 23

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 23_*

*وَ اِنَّا لَــنَحۡنُ نُحۡىٖ وَنُمِيۡتُ وَنَحۡنُ الۡوٰرِثُوۡنَ‏.(23)*

*_Verily it is We Who give life and cause death, and We are of [all things] heirs.(23)_*

اور ہم ہی حیات بخشتے اور ہم ہی موت دیتے ہیں۔ اور ہم سب کے وارث (مالک) ہیں.(23)

The Ayah describes that HE SWT is having absolute Power over life and death of the entire creations.‼️ _HE SWT is the One Who brings life to creatures out of nothingness, then HE SWT causes them to die, then HE SWT will resurrect all of us on the Day and will gather us together._ As Allah Azzawajal says
*_Verily, it is We Who will inherit the earth and all who are upon it, and to Us they will be brought back. (Maryam 19:40)_*

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that our worldly life and all that we possess are transitory and temporary, and Allah Azzawajal Alone is Eternal.‼️ *Our end shall come sooner or later, and we shall leave everything behind in this world.* The word *Al-Warisun الۡوٰرِثُوۡنَ‏* means *inheritor* that is all the material things and properties will return back to Allah Azzawajal when everything will perish on when the trumpet will be blown. As Allah Azzawajal says
كُلُّ مَن عَلَيها فانٍ
*_Everything that is on the face of the earth will perish.(Surah Ar- Rahman 55:26)_*
It means that Allah ﷻ is the ultimate and true heir of all the things even though the children and relatives may hold the properties for some time.

—To understand that when everything is going to return back to Allah Azzawajal then Man should realise that instead of piling up the wealth he should be generous in spending in the way of Allah Azzawajal by way of charity which will return to him on the Day of judgement in the form of rewards.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder and reflect upon the truth and prepare our life for the Hereafter. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
