Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 54

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 54_*

*قَالَ اَبَشَّرۡتُمُوۡنِىۡ عَلٰٓى اَنۡ مَّسَّنِىَ الۡكِبَرُ فَبِمَ تُبَشِّرُوۡنَ‏.(54)*

*_He said: Do you bring me glad tidings when old age has overtaken me? What kind of glad tidings are you bringing me?(54)_*

بولے کہ جب مجھے بڑھاپے نے آ پکڑا تو تم خوشخبری دینے لگے۔ اب کاہے کی خوشخبری دیتے ہو.(54)

The Ayah describes the response of Prophet Ibrahim(AS) to the good news conveyed to him from the Angels of having a son.‼️ *He was amazed to be promised a son when both he and his wife were in advanced years.* _It is in human nature that when a person hears something entirely unexpected but delightful and that too from unknown persons , the first reaction is expression of a joyful disbelief._ Prophet Ibrahim(AS) questions the guests about the source and authenticity of the their news in exclamation.

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la has the power to bestow the blessing on whomever HE wills. *HE SWT also has the power to create anything or create something that deviates from HIS own Sunnah.*‼️ _It is natural for humans to be amazed by extraordinary events, even if it is only a message. But one should develop a level of confidence in the attributes and power of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la that HE SWT is capable of everything._

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to reflect and ponder upon HIS attributes and strengthen our Imaan. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
