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 4_*
*وَقَضَيۡنَاۤ اِلٰى بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَاۤءِيۡلَ فِى الۡكِتٰبِ لَـتُفۡسِدُنَّ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ مَرَّتَيۡنِ وَلَتَعۡلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِيۡرًا.(4)*
*_We declared to the Children of Israel in the Book: You will surely spread mischief in the land twice, and you will surely show great arrogance and tyranny.(4)_*
اور ہم نے کتاب میں بنی اسرائیل سے کہہ دیا تھا کہ زمین میں دو دفعہ فساد مچاؤ گے اور بڑی سرکشی کرو گے.(4)
The Ayah highlights Allah Azzawajal’s decree about the children of Israel.‼️ *HE SWT had revealed to Musa (AS), as stated in the Torah, that the Children of Israel would cause trouble twice in the land of Palestine, so that HE SWT would mobilize their enemies to kill, plunder and destroy their land.* _’The book’ *الْكِتٰبِ* referred to here is *Lauh Al Mahfuz*. Everything that will happen is written there. It means that Allah already knows what they will do._ The Quran in many of its Ayaat alludes to the bad deeds of the Children of Israel such as killing the prophets, spreading bribery, usury and hiding the truth. Still from this Ayah it is stated, “You have become arrogant and have spread acts of tyranny.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand the two words *fasaad فساد* means spreading corruption on earth against the commands of Allah Azzawajal and *uluww عُلُوًّا* means arrogant, haughty or considering oneself superior to others.‼️ _The Children of Israel who were previously under the rule of Pharaoh were saved by the Mercy of Allah Azzawajal. However, after being free, they spread corruption and evil on earth rather than remaining grateful for HIS blessings._
This Ayah reminds us:
1. To recognise Allah Azzawajal’s knowledge and power.
2. To avoid arrogance and disobedience.
3. The importance of obedience
4. To strive for justice and righteousness.
5. To learn from history regarding the behaviour of children of Israel and shun arrogance.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to learn from history and make us if HIS obedient slaves. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
