Surah Al Isra – Ayah 15

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

*_Today’s Thought for the day comes from Surah Al-Isra Ayah 15_*

*مَنِ اہۡتَدٰی فَاِنَّمَا یَہۡتَدِیۡ لِنَفۡسِہٖ ۚ وَ مَنۡ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا یَضِلُّ عَلَیۡہَا ؕ وَ لَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَۃٌ وِّزۡرَ اُخۡرٰی ؕ وَ مَا کُنَّا مُعَذِّبِیۡنَ حَتّٰی نَبۡعَثَ رَسُوۡلًا(15)*

*_”Whoever is guided, is only guided for the (benefit of) his soul. And whoever goes astray, only goes astray against it (soul). And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And We will not punish until We have sent a Messenger”.(15)_*

جو کوئی راہ راست اختیار کرے اس کی راست روی اس کے اپنے ہی لیے مفید ہے ، اور جو گمراہ ہو اس کی گمراہی کا وبال اسی پر ہے ۔ کوئی بوجھ اٹھانے والا دوسرے کا بوجھ نہ اٹھائے گا ۔ اور ہم عذاب دینے والے نہیں ہیں جب تک کہ ﴿لوگوں کو حق و باطل کا فرق سمجھانے کے لیے﴾ ایک پیغام بر نہ بھیج دیں.(15)

_The doctrine of personal responsibility is insisted on, and the basis of ethics is shown to be our own good or evil as furthering or obstructing our highest development._

_*The Qur’an has laid great stress on the doctrine of personal responsibility at several places,* for one cannot follow the Right Way scrupulously without understanding fully its implication. *It means that, everyone is solely responsible for one’s moral conduct and is accountable to Allah Azzawajal as an individual in one’s own person, and no other person can share the burden of responsibility with him.*_ (refer S6:A164 too)

_*This doctrine has been emphasized over and over again so that a wise man should not act in imitation of another.* If a particular person feels the sense of his own responsibility, he shall act in such a way as to come out successful on the Day of Judgment, regardless of what the others do. Yet as a sign of Allah’s grace, *HE SWT does not leave man’s guidance dependent only on the signs that are available in the universe. Nor does HE SWT leave him to the covenant HE SWT has made with human nature before a person is born❗*. HE SWT has sent messengers to warn and remind and HE SWT will never visit HIS wrath on anyone until due warning is conveyed to humans through an accredited Messenger._

*_Act for the Day is:_* _To Continuously monitor our Thoughts Words & Deeds. *Also monitor that which we forward on WhatsApp, as it could become a witness against us on the Day of Judgement for spreading fitnah.*_ _Let’s remind ourselves that, we are responsible for our own actions and we can’t even blame Shaitaan for it._

_*Allah SWT has sent His most lovable Messenger ‘Mohammed’ (Sallellahu Alaihi Wasallam), as Mercy to the Whole mankind.*_
_”So we shall educate ourselves in the light of Qur’an and Hadees, *’Help each other, Love each other and Live together’ – without pointing fingers at others, with Patience and show the right path to each other.”*_

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder and reflect and take measures so as to gain HIS Mercy on the Day of judgement. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
