Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 28

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 28_*

*وَاِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلٰۤئِكَةِ اِنِّىۡ خَالـِقٌۢ بَشَرًا مِّنۡ صَلۡصَالٍ مِّنۡ حَمَاٍ مَّسۡنُوۡنٍ‏.(28)*

*_And [remember] when your Lord said to the angels: Verily I am going to create a human being from sounding clay, made from black mud moulded into shape.(28)_*

اور جب تمہارے پروردگار نے فرشتوں سے فرمایا کہ میں کھنکھناتے سڑے ہوئے گارے سے ایک بشر بنانے والا ہوں.(28)

The Ayah describes the plan of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la to create a human being which he notified to the angels.‼️ Allah SWT described about the way HE is going to fashion a human being *Basharan”(بَشَرًا)* from the *sounding clay(صَلْصَالٍ)* made from *Balck Mud (حَمَإٍ)*.

_In short, the process was something like this: to begin with, it was dust (turab) composed of various elements. Then it was wetted. It became adhesive clay (tin). Then it was left to itself until it became (transmuted) putrid slime (hama’i’masnun). Finally, it was left to dry and it became “salsal” (Qurtubi)._

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that Qur’anic Ayat are unambiguous about creation of man at Allah Azzawajal’s Hand.‼️ *Thus, we are left in no doubt about the process of creation: he was human in the complete sense right from the beginning and not evolved from lower organisms.* _But science has other theories and hypothesis to describe which are contradictory to one another._ The point to be remembered here is always to recall our humble creation from Mud and do not fall into the sin of arrogance. Thus we also realise the creative power of Allah Azzawajal the way HE has shaped the mud into one of the best creation.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to always remain humble and save us from falling into arrogance and disbelief. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
