Surah Al Hijr – Ayah 9

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

*_Today’s Thought for the day comes from Surah Hijr Ayah 9_*

*اِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا الذِّکۡرَ وَ اِنَّا لَہٗ لَحٰفِظُوۡنَ(9)*

*_”Indeed, We have sent down the reminder (i.e., the Qur’an), And indeed, We are its Guardian”.(9)_*

رہا یہ ذکر ، تو اس کو ہم نے نازل کیا ہے اور ہم خود اس کے نگہبان ہیں.(9)

_Allah SWT says that, *’You should note it well that it is He Who have sent this ‘Word’.* And He is preserving it; no one will be ever able to change or tamper with it._‼️ The disbelievers were demanding that angels should descend to prove the authenticity of the Prophethood, *hence Allah Azzawajal out of His infinite Mercy chooses for them what is better than the choice they make for themselves.* _HE SWT gives them the Reminder so that they may reflect on it and follow its guidance. This is much better than sending down the angels with the final truth, if only they would reflect._ It is much better for them, then, to approach it positively, because it will remain intact, suffering no loss or change. It will remain pure, unaffected by falsehood, free of distortion. It guides them to the truth with HIS care, if they really want the truth.

_The purity of the text of the Qur’an through 14 centuries (1440 years as of now) is a foretaste of the eternal care with which Allah’s Truth is guarded through all ages. All corruption, inventions, and accretions pass away, but Allah’s pure and Holy Truth will never suffer eclipse even though the whole world mocked at it and was bent on tampering with it._

*_Act for the Day is:_* _To pay utmost attention to the Kalam of Allah, when it is being recited. (Refer S25:A73) As the true servants of Allah Azzawajal do not behave like the blind and the deaf towards the Revelations of Allah Azzawajal, when it is recited for our admonition._

_*We shall follow and practise, what is allowed and refrain from what is forbidden.*_

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder reflect and take benefit from this Greatest Living Miracle of Our Time. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
