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 57 & 58_*
*قَالَ فَمَا خَطۡبُكُمۡ اَيُّهَا الۡمُرۡسَلُوۡنَ.(57)*
*قَالُـوۡۤا اِنَّاۤ اُرۡسِلۡنَاۤ اِلٰى قَوۡمٍ مُّجۡرِمِيۡنَۙ.(58)*
*_Ibraheem said: Then what is your business, O messengers?(57)_*
*_They said: We have been sent to a wicked people [who are to be destroyed],(58)_*
پھر کہنے لگے کہ فرشتو! تمہیں (اور) کیا کام ہے.(57)
(انہوں نے) کہا کہ ہم ایک گنہگار قوم کی طرف بھیجے گئے ہیں (کہ اس کو عذاب کریں).(58)
After getting the news from tha Angels of having a child, prophet Ibrahim(AS) felt that this is not the only purpose of their arrival on earth in human form.‼️ *Appearance of angels in the form of humans can be for some important work only, and for that reason Prophet Ibrahim(AS) inquired about their important task further.* Then they gave the sad news and said; Yes, we were sent for the destruction of a community that was drowning in sin.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that the fact that the angels did not name the people of Lut (peace be upon him) but merely referred to them as the *wicked people,* shows that these people had become so notorious for their wicked deeds that there was no need to mention them by name before Prophet Ibrahim(AS) who was well acquainted with the moral condition of all the people around him. (Refer Surah Hud, Ayat Nos. 77 to 83 also where this event has been described too.)‼️
—To understand that Homosexuality is the mother of all immorality. *Homosexuality is one of the most despicable crimes.* _Its character is such that it leads to a succession of other equally atrocious crimes. It violates the fitrah (human nature), treats with contempt religious commandments, works against the laws of nature, and establishes itself as an agent of falsehood and misguidance._ Therefore one can understand the gravity of the crime in the sight of Allah Azzawajal where HE SWT sent a group of Angels to destroy the township of such wicked people.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la strengthen our Imaan and save us from all sorts of sins and immorality. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
