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 55 & 56_*
*قَالُوۡا بَشَّرۡنٰكَ بِالۡحَـقِّ فَلَا تَكُنۡ مِّنَ الۡقٰنِطِيۡنَ.(55)*
*قَالَ وَمَنۡ يَّقۡنَطُ مِنۡ رَّحۡمَةِ رَبِّهٖۤ اِلَّا الضَّآلُّوۡنَ.(56)*
*_They said: We give you glad tidings in truth; so do not despair.(55)_*
*_Ibraheem said: Who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except those who go astray?(56)_*
(انہوں نے) کہا ہم آپ کو سچی خوشخبری دیتے ہیں آپ مایوس نہ ہوئیے.(55)
(ابراہیم نے) کہا کہ خدا کی رحمت سے (میں مایوس کیوں ہونے لگا اس سے) مایوس ہونا گمراہوں کا کام ہے.(56)
The Angels responded to Prophet Ibrahim’s(AS) exclamation that they are presenting him the news of truth and it is bound to come true and it is from the Lord of universe about he having a child at old age.‼️ *There is no wonder for old barren people getting bestowed with a child, it is all a Mercy from Allah Azzawajal and no one should be despaired and loose hope in their Dua’s getting answered.* _Prophet Ibrahim(AS) quickly cleared the thinking from their minds by saying he exclaimed for natural laws rather than getting despaired from Allah Azzawajal’s Mercy. He said only those people who have gone astray from the right path loose hope in the Mercy of Allah Azzawajal._
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that a person whose heart is full of Imaan will never despair of Allah Azzawajal’s Mercy, no matter what hardship and difficulties he is called on to endure.‼️ *Even in the thickness of darkness and the gloom of adversity, they feel that Allah Azzawajal’s grace is close at hand. It will never fail to be bestowed.* _Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la has the power to initiate the causes and bring about the results, changing the present and the future._ And it is only, those who have no knowledge of their Lord and HIS perfect power such are people who go astray and loose all hope. As for the one whom Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la has blessed with guidance and great knowledge, there is no way he can despair because he knows that there are many ways and means for the mercy of Allah Azzawajal to reach him.
_Al-Bukhari (6469) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “Indeed Allah created mercy, on the day He created it, in one hundred parts. Then He kept ninety-nine parts of it with Him and sent one part for all of His creation. If the disbeliever knew of all that there is with Allah of mercy, he would never despair of Paradise, and if the believer knew of all that there is with Allah of punishment, he would never feel safe from the Fire.”_
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to constantly seek forgiveness for our sins and turn to HIM in sincere repentance as HE is Most compassionate and Most Merciful. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
