Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 85 & 86

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 85 & 86_*

*وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَاۤ اِلَّا بِالۡحَـقِّ‌ ؕ وَاِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَاٰتِيَةٌ‌ فَاصۡفَحِ الصَّفۡحَ الۡجَمِيۡلَ.(85)*

*اِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الۡخَـلّٰقُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ.(86)*

*_We have not created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, except for a true purpose. And, verily, the Hour is surely coming, so [O Muhammad] bear with them graciously.(85)_*

*_Verily your Lord is the Creator of all, the All-Knowing.(86)_*

اور ہم نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو اور جو (مخلوقات) ان میں ہے اس کو تدبیر کے ساتھ پیدا کیا ہے۔ اور قیامت تو ضرور آکر رہے گی تو تم (ان لوگوں سے) اچھی طرح سے درگزر کرو.(85)

کچھ شک نہیں کہ تمہارا پروردگار (سب کچھ) پیدا کرنے والا (اور) جاننے والا ہے.(86)

 

This fact mentioned here is to influence people into choosing the right course of submission to Allah‼️. _If they do, they only surrender to the One who has created the heavens and the earth. Needless to say, the one who creates is the one who owns, controls and determines the destiny of the heavens and the earth and all that lives in or on them. Moreover, this creation has been made *`in truth’.* This is to refuse all the conjectural theories advanced by philosophers._

Whenever He says, *‘Be,*’ it shall be. His power dominates all, and His will is unrestrained. He creates, changes and replaces as He pleases.❗This makes the proper formulation of the correct concept of faith in the believers’ hearts and it inspires those who are called upon to submit to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, the Creator of everything,

*_All sovereignty shall be His on the Day when the trumpet is blown._* When the trumpet is sounded, even the rejecters and the blind will begin to see and realise that all sovereignty belongs to Allah alone❗. *No one has any power other than Him. No will can operate other than His*. Hence, those who in this life refuse to submit to Him willingly are well advised to change their attitude before they have to submit to His absolute power on the day when the trumpet is blown.❗

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand this undeniable fact that _HE knows all that is beyond the reach of human perception(hidden), and all that is manifest. HE alone is truly wise, all-aware_‼️. Therefore whatever act a human does every intention will be known to Him and the reward will also be based upon the sincerity of intention.

To Understand that that the heavens and the earth have not been created just for the fun of it.❗ *This existence is not a theatrical play*. This world is not a child’s toy with which to amuse oneself as long as one wishes before crushing it to bits and throwing it away. *Creation is rather an act of great seriousness*. A great objective motivates it, and a wise purpose underlies it. Hence, after the lapse of a certain stage it is necessary for the Creator to take full account of the work that has been done and to use those results as the basis for the next stage.

–The Quran time and again asks believers to remain steadfast on the right path in spite of obstacles and conspiracies. Believers are asked to observe restraint when they do dawah work because while doing dawah they may face hostility from the non-believers. In such a situation, the Quran asks the believers to be patient and tolerant. In case of hostilities, though the believers are allowed to defend themselves or inflict an equal blow to the opponents, they are advised to be patient which is better.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la make our Imaan stronger and give us firmness upon our religion. Aameen Ya’Rabbul Aalameen._*
