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 87_*
*وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ(87)*
*_”And certainly, We have given you seven of the oft-repeated (Ayah) and the Great Qur’an”.(87)_*
اور ہم نے تم کو سات (آیتیں) جو (نماز میں) دہرا کر پڑھی جاتی ہیں (یعنی سورہٴ الحمد) اور عظمت والا قرآن عطا فرمایا ہے.(87)
The Arabic term, *mathānī,* translated here as *‘the oft-repeated verses’* refers to the opening *sūrah, Al-Fātiĥah*, composed of seven short Ayat.‼️
_They sum up the whole teaching of the Qur’an. What can be more precious gift to Mankind than the glorious *Qur’an*_ _or any Surah of it?_
_This is the reassurance given to the Believers, as if to say, *”Why should you feel disheartened at the loss of material things? We have given you “Wealth” which surpasses all kinds of worldly riches. Therefore, your opponents should envy your knowledge and high morals; you need not envy their ill-canned wealth and their wicked enjoyments, for when they will go before their Lord, they themselves will find that they had not brought such wealth as carries any value there”.*_
_The seven verses (of Surah Al Fateha) form a complete unit by themselves, and are recited in every prayer and on many other occasions._
*_Act for the Day_* is : To understand that Prayer is the heart of Religion and Faith. Hence we shall pray with full understanding, focus and feelings on its wordings with understanding _*so as to Connect with our Creator.*_
_*Allah SWT taught us the best form of Prayer,*_ which sums up _*Our faith, Our hope, and Our inspiration in things that matter.*_
_In these seven verses;_
_*We think and Glorify Him in devotion of His name and His Nature;*_
_*We praise Him for His creation and His Cherishing care;*_
_*We call to mind the realities, seen and unseen;*_
_*We offer worship only to Him & ask only His guidance;*_
_*We ask for straight path from the crooked path By the light of His Grace that illuminates the righteous.*_
*_May Allah SWT accept our Prayers of every Salah. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen ._*
