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 96 & 97_*
*الَّذِيۡنَ يَجۡعَلُوۡنَ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهًا اٰخَرَۚ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ.(96)*
*وَلَـقَدۡ نَـعۡلَمُ اَنَّكَ يَضِيۡقُ صَدۡرُكَ بِمَا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ.(97)*
*_Those who set up another god beside Allah; but they will come to know.(96)_*
*_We know you are distressed by what they say.(97)_*
جو خدا کے ساتھ معبود قرار دیتے ہیں۔ سو عنقریب ان کو (ان باتوں کا انجام) معلوم ہوجائے گا.(96)
اور ہم جانتے ہیں کہ ان باتوں سے تمہارا دل تنگ ہوتا ہے.(97)
This Ayah 96 warns those who associate partners with Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la (polytheists) that they will eventually come to realise the truth and face the consequences of their actions soon.‼️ _Allah Azzawajal explained that just as they offended His Messenger SAWS they also offended Allah Azzawajal by setting up beside Him another god when HE SWT alone is their Lord, Creator and Controller. They think that they have the authority to appoint a god by giving an attribute or perfection that belongs to Allah Azzawajal to an object, a person, or anything abstract or concrete other than Allah Azzawajal, and they are not aware of this. They will soon understand the ugly thing of attributing a partner to Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la._
The Prophet SAWS is a human being who cannot help but be distressed when he hears people ascribing divinity to beings other than Allah Azzawajal, or deriding his message. He is eager to defend the truth and his message, and is upset at all the falsehood and idolatry around him. Therefore he is encouraged by Allah Azzawajal to focus upon his mission and HIS remembrance. As Allah Azzawajal says in Surah Al-An’am
*_We certainly know that what they say grieves you ˹O Prophet˺. It is not your honesty they question—it is Allah’s signs that the wrongdoers deny.(6:33)_*
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that a Da’ee who tries to call society to follow the path of truth must not be afraid of the sneers, insults and ridicule of opponents of the truth.‼️Those who insist on continuing their wrong attitude will one day realise the error of their attitude, but regret will no longer be useful.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to remain patient and to stick upon our mission with perseverance. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
