Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 47 & 48

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 47 & 48_*

*وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِىۡ صُدُوۡرِهِمۡ مِّنۡ غِلٍّ اِخۡوَانًا عَلٰى سُرُرٍ مُّتَقٰبِلِيۡنَ.(47)*

*لَا يَمَسُّهُمۡ فِيۡهَا نَـصَبٌ وَّمَا هُمۡ مِّنۡهَا بِمُخۡرَجِيۡنَ‏.(48)*

*_We will remove all ill feelings from their hearts; they will be like brethren seated on couches facing one another.(47)_*

*_There no fatigue will touch them, nor will they [ever] be made to leave.(48)_*

اور ان کے دلوں میں جو کدورت ہوگی ان کو ہم نکال کر (صاف کر) دیں گے (گویا) بھائی بھائی تختوں پر ایک دوسرے کے سامنے بیٹھے ہوئے ہیں.(47)

نہ ان کو وہاں کوئی تکلیف پہنچے گی اور نہ وہاں سے نکالے جائیں گے.(48)

These Ayat describe the society of pious people in Jannah.‼️ *When the Jannah is rewarded to these pious people they will have their hearts cleansed of ill feelings for their fellow brethren which would have occurred during their life on earth because of misunderstanding or confusion.* _If these wrong feelings still reside in their hearts, the purpose to enter Jannah will not be fulfilled. Jannah is not a place of disputes and suspicion. It is a place of all peace and security. Unlike the world where sometimes there is worldly prosperity, but loss of peace of mind or vice versa. Therefore, they will meet each other with such feelings of love and friendliness as if they are hand and glove._

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that the life of Jannah is totally different from the life of this world. The main thing that differentiates Hereafter from this world is that all material, spiritual, social and psychological blessings are eternal in Jannah.‼️ *No one shall ever feel tired or weak.* _This is contrary to what happens in our mortal world where hard work naturally results in fatigue. In fact, even a state of total rest and fun would sometimes tire a person out, no matter how enjoyable are things one is occupied with._ *What is of importance in this stage is the assembling of all blessings in one unit.* In this world one finds gardens in one place, while there may be no springs therein, sometimes there are streams to be found there but there is no security over there; at times all are present with together, though there may not be authenticity or sincerity furnished there. At times, it happens that all those blessings are coupled with different kinds of hardships and are tedious to obtain. At other times, when all blessings are brought together, one has to abdicate them all and leave them behind. *Therefore the other feature of Jannah we discover is that the blessings once received there shall be eternal.* These blessings shall never diminish nor shall anyone be expelled from there.

— Let’s make a strong resolve to earn Jannah. *Staying away from sinful deeds in this limited world will bring us eternal salvation.* Therefore, let us not sell the afterlife for this worthless world.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to always remain in a state of submission to HIM and grant us a good ending with Imaan. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
