اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah An-Nahl Ayah 105_*
*اِنَّمَا يَفۡتَرِى الۡـكَذِبَ الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِۚ وَاُولٰۤئِكَ هُمُ الۡكٰذِبُوۡنَ.(105)*
*_It is those who do not believe in Allah’s signs who fabricate falsehood; it is they who are the liars.(105)_*
جھوٹ افتراء تو وہی لوگ کیا کرتے ہیں جو خدا کی آیتوں پر ایمان نہیں لاتے۔ اور وہی جھوٹے ہیں.(105)
The Ayah clearly declares those people who are involved in fabricating falsehood against the Qur’an and the Noble Prophetﷺ as liars.‼️ The Prophetﷺ does not forge any false thing rather he was the most honest person, perfect in knowledge and deeds, strong in conviction, and most trustworthy. Because of his honesty and cleanliness of soul, he was given the name Al-Amin (the honest person).
When Heraclius, the Roman King, asked Abu Sufyan رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ about the qualities possessed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, among other things Heraclius said, *_”Did you ever accuse him of being a liar before he informed his call?”_*
Abu Sufyan رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنْهُ replied, *”Never.”* Then Heraclius said, “It is not logical to think when he has not told a lie about people any time would tell lies about Allah ﷻ”.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that this Ayah brings the false rumour mongers, liars and disbelievers in the same line.‼️ *Lying is a cardinal sin which no believer perpetrates.* _The Prophetﷺ himself made it clear that a true believer could at times commit some sinful action, but a true believer would never deliberately tell a lie._
–This Ayah befits the Western scholars, writers and journalists, who float lies for their laymen, who blindly believe in them in such matters of high importance, while treating all else that they write, about worldly affairs, with extreme skepticism.
–This Ayah emphasizes:
1. Disbelievers’ tendency to fabricate lies.
2. Disbelievers’ corrupt nature.
3. Rejection of Allah’s signs leads to falsehood.
4. Liars’ identity: those who deny Allah’s signs.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la guide us upon the straight path and save us from falling into the sin of rumour mongering and lying. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
