Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 6

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 6_*

*وَ قَالُوۡا يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِىۡ نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ الذِّكۡرُ اِنَّكَ لَمَجۡنُوۡنٌؕ‏.(6)*

*_They say: O you to whom the Reminder [the Qur’an] has been sent down, you are surely insane!(6)_*

اور کفار کہتے ہیں کہ اے شخص جس پر نصیحت (کی کتاب) نازل ہوئی ہے تُو تو دیوانہ ہے.(6)

The Ayah describes the ill mannerisms of the disbelievers in addressing the Prophet ﷺ when he had only presented to them the Qur’ān which is a clear reminder of the truth.‼️ *They ridiculed him and spoke to him with extreme impudence* _They objected to the Qur’an without thinking and reflecting on the proofs and arguments in it that explain the signs of Allah Azzawajal’s power and greatness._ Because of their unwillingness to pay attention and a deep sense of fanaticism, they deny the Ayat of the Qur’an, as Allah SWT says:
*_Whenever a sign comes to them from their Lord, they turn away from it.(Surah An’am 6:4)_*

Their rudeness is carried still further as they insult the Prophet personally: *_“You are surely Insane!مَجنونٌ”_* This they did in response to his call on them to believe in Allah Azzawajal, using the Qur’ān in all its clarity to address them. They tried to do his *character assassination* by calling him Insane(Allah forbid) so that he is not approached and listened to by others.

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand and realise that this is the same age old tactics used by the deniers of truth when they don’t have anything substantial to justify their false claims.‼️ If they really have certain points about the Qur’an, instead of abusing and arguing, they try through various forms of insults such as making caricatures or films, trying to tarnish the sanctity of the Islamic religion.

— To understand our duty to defend various forms of insults and wrong propaganda from enemies of Islam.❗ Therefore we should spend time in learning our own religion and life of Prophet ﷺ so that we are always ready with the truth to nullify their false narratives and propaganda. Some people’s opposition to the truth has reached to the level of naming themselves as progressive and polished people and the followers of Islam as crazy people.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability Stay firm upon the Deen and enlighten our hearts and soul with truth. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
