اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Al-Isra Ayah 11:_*
*وَ یَدۡعُ الۡاِنۡسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَآءَہٗ بِالۡخَیۡرِ ؕ وَ کَانَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ عَجُوۡلًا(11)*
*_”And man prays for evil as he prays for good, and man is ever hasty.”(11)_*
انسان شر اس طرح مانگتا ہے جس طرح خیر مانگنی چاہیے ۔ انسان بڑا ہی جلد باز واقع ہوا ہے.(11)
_Man in his ignorance or haste mistakes evil for good, and desires what he should not have‼️. *That is why AIlah says, “Man does so because he is very hasty and impatient,”* He prays to Allah for alI such things as are the immediate need of the time, though often *subsequent experience shows that if Allah had granted his prayer, it would have been very harmful to him.*_
This is a common weakness of a human being, in which men and women are equal participants. Besides this general meaning or the Ayah, it particularly refers to the infidels of Makkah who were demanding of the Prophet (Sallal Lahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that he should hasten the Divine punishment about which he was warning them. They are being told that for them good has come down from their Lord in the form of Qur’an and their reaction should have been that they would pray for this good for themselves from their Lord, but instead of rushing to this good fortune they are demanding for punishment, which if it came down would be an evil consequence for them.
*_Act for the Day_* is: _To have patience and *never put our own desires above the Wisdom of Allah. Receive the favours of Allah with contentment and pray to be rightly guided in our desires and petitions.*_
As Allah Azzawajal says in Surah Yunus:
*_If Allah were to hasten evil for people as they wish to hasten good, they would have certainly been doomed. But We leave those who do not expect to meet Us to wander blindly in their defiance.(10:11)_*
–A true believer should know that everything happens by the will of Allah SWT, in accordance with HIS laws and in accordance with HIS decrees and regulations.
*A believer should avoid praying for evil as much as they can*. Abu Bakr Al-Bazzar recorded in his Musnad that Jabir(RA) said, “Allah’s Messenger SAWS said:
_“Do not pray against yourselves, do not pray against your children, do not pray against your wealth, for your prayer may coincide with a time of response from Allah and Allah will respond to you.”_
This Hadith was also recorded by Abu Dawud. (Abu Dawud 2:185)
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to have patience and Tawakkul in all situations. Aameen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen_*
