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 30_*
*إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا بَصِيرًا(30)*
*_”Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and straitens (it). Indeed, He is All-Aware, All-Seer of His slaves.(30)_*
بےشک تمہارا پروردگار جس کی روزی چاہتا ہے فراخ کردیتا ہے اور (جس کی روزی چاہتا ہے) تنگ کردیتا ہے وہ اپنے بندوں سے خبردار ہے اور (ان کو) دیکھ رہا ہے.(30)
That is, _*”Man cannot realize the wisdom of the disparity of wealth among the people”;* therefore, man should not try to interfere by artificial means with the natural distribution of wealth. It is wrong to level down natural inequality or to aggravate it by artificial means so as to make it unjust. Both the extremes are wrong._
_*The best economic system is that which is established on the Divine Way of the division of wealth.*_
_As a result of the realization of the wisdom of economic disparity, no such problems arose which might have made that disparity an evil in itself so as to demand the creation of a classless society. *On the contrary, in the righteous society established at AI-Madinah on these Divine principles which are akin to human nature, the economic differences were not artificially disturbed.*_
_But by means of moral and legal reforms these became the means of many moral, spiritual and cultural blessings and benefits instead of becoming the means of injustice. *Thus, the wisdom of the disparity created by the Creator of the Universe was practically demonstrated at Al-Madinah.*_
*_Act for the Day_* is: _To be reminded that Allah Azzawajal will take care of all. HE SWT knows every one’s true needs and cares for them. *HE SWT gives in abundance to some, but in all cases HE SWT gives in just measure.* Who are we to pretend to greater generosity‼️_ Therefore, Allah ﷻ gives according to a person’s circumstances and needs. So be grateful for what we have because that is what is appropriate for us and to maintain ourselves upon Deen. Sometimes wealth for some people is an istidraj for them (gradual destruction), and sometimes poverty is a punishment from Allah ﷻ.
*_May Allah ﷻ protect us from both of these situations and make us of his grateful slaves. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
