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 18_*
*مَنۡ كَانَ يُرِيۡدُ الۡعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلۡنَا لَهٗ فِيۡهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَنۡ نُّرِيۡدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَۚ يَصۡلٰٮهَا مَذۡمُوۡمًا مَّدۡحُوۡرًا.(18)*
*_Whoever seeks [the pleasures of] this fleeting life, We hasten therein whatever We will for whomever We please. Then We decree for him hell, which he will enter, disgraced and rejected.(18)_*
جو شخص دنیا (کی آسودگی) کا خواہشمند ہو تو ہم اس میں سے جسے چاہتے ہیں اور جتنا چاہتے ہیں جلد دے دیتے ہیں۔ پھر اس کے لئے جہنم کو (ٹھکانا) مقرر کر رکھا ہے۔ جس میں وہ نفرین سن کر اور (درگاہ خدا سے) راندہ ہو کر داخل ہوگا.(18)
The Ayah emphasises the fleeting nature of worldly life and warns against seeking only worldly pleasures.‼️ The word *Ajilah عَاجِلَةَ* means that which hastens or that which gives benefits quickly. *A person who makes the world as his goal and thinks that he will get everything quickly has been made clear here that it is not necessary he should always get many worldly benefits quickly and immediately, but this also depends on the will of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la. HE SWT decides how much and when to give it to anyone.* _once such a person is given worldly gains then there is no share for such a man in the benefits of the Hereafter, on the contrary he will have to face very bad conditions, and deprived of Allah Azzawajal’s mercy will have to enter the Hell._ This severe punishment will be given to him, because he was sent to the world to reap the benefits of the Hereafter and keep that in view and to act in the world in such a way that the result of his acts should give good rewards in the Hereafter, but he did not care for the Hereafter and engaged himself for his whole life in gathering the benefits of the world. In this way he lived as *transgressor* against his Lord and so his whole life was a great mistake.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that those who do not aspire to anything beyond this world are short sighted and greedy .‼️ Such people do not believe in the existence of a day of resurrection and a day of judgment, so they believe that there is no life after death. _Therefore, life in this world and its luxuries are described by Allah Azzawajal as something that can be immediately obtained and felt, but which will soon be lost and end and whatever remains in the Hereafter is long lasting and permanent._
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to strive for Hereafter and earn Jannah. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
