Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 43 & 44

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 43 & 44_*

*وَاِنَّ جَهَـنَّمَ لَمَوۡعِدُهُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۙ.(43)*

*لَهَا سَبۡعَةُ اَبۡوَابٍؕ لِكُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ جُزۡءٌ مَّقۡسُوۡمٌ.(44)*

*_And verily, hell is the promised destiny for them all.(43)_*

*_It has seven gates, each gate having its allotted share of them.(44)_*

اور ان سب کے وعدے کی جگہ جہنم ہے.(43)

اس کے سات دروازے ہیں۔ ہر ایک دروازے کے لیے ان میں سے جماعتیں تقسیم کردی گئی ہیں.(44)

This is the promised destination of the followers of shaitan.‼️ The shaitan right from the beginning of creation of first Human being till the last Day has only one goal that is to push the progeny of Adam(AS) into sins and disbelief. As Allah Azzawajal says
*_“but those of the sects (Jews, Christians and all the other non-Muslim nations) that reject it (the Qur’an), the Fire will be their promised meeting place.” (11:17)_*

_The purpose of relating the entire story is *to alert the human of his eternal enemy* so that they take measures to correct themselves and do not follow the shaitan who will ultimately degrade them to the lowest of the levels. In contrast, Allah Azzawajal has been so merciful that HE SWT has kept sending the reminders through the Prophets Alahis salam from time to time so that the Human race do not become the fuel for the fire of jahannam rather they achieve higher levels and make their way to the higher levels of Jannah. But it is a pity that the disbelievers take the Prophet SAWS as their enemy and the shaitan as their friend._

*_Act of the Day is_* to understand that we ourselves are responsible for our wrong deeds and not Shaitan; for, the most he can do is to beguile us from the obedience of Allah Azzawajal and hold temptations before us. It is, therefore, our own concern and responsibility to be beguiled or not to be beguiled by Shaitan.‼️

— To understand that *as there are levels of Paradise so also there are levels of Hell.* _Sinners will be divided into different groups in accordance with their different sins for their entry into Hell from seven different gates specified for each different sin. For instance, the group of atheists shall enter into Hell by one of the seven gates specified for their group. Likewise, mushriks, hypocrites, self-seekers, sensualists, tyrants, propagandists and leaders of disbelief etc. shall each enter into Hell through the gates specified for their group._

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la save us from entering into Hell and grant us Hidayah and rectify our affairs out of HIS Mercy. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
