Surah An Nahl – Ayah 108 & 109

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

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah An-Nahl Ayat 108 & 109_*

*اُولٰۤئِكَ الَّذِيۡنَ طَبَعَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ وَسَمۡعِهِمۡ وَاَبۡصَارِهِمۡ‌ۚ وَاُولٰۤئِكَ هُمُ الۡغٰفِلُوۡنَ.(108)*

*لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّهُمۡ فِى الۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمُ الۡخٰسِرُوۡنَ.(109)*

*_These are the ones whose hearts, hearing and sight Allah has sealed up; it is they who are heedless.(108)_*

*_Without a doubt, in the hereafter, it is they who will be the greatest losers..(109)_*

یہی لوگ ہیں جن کے دلوں پر اور کانوں پر اور آنکھوں پر خدا نے مہر لگا رکھی ہے۔ اور یہی غفلت میں پڑے ہوئے ہیں.(108)

کچھ شک نہیں کہ یہ آخرت میں خسارہ اٹھانے والے ہوں گے.(109)

The Ayah tells us of the abhorrent state of those who disbelieve in Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la after having believed, and thus become blind after having seen, and go back to misguidance after having been guided, opening their hearts to disbelief, happy and remain content with it.‼️ When they made up their minds, Allah Azzawajal allowed that they act, in words and deeds, in accordance with their intentions. When HE SWT allowed them to act, and they had acted, in words and deeds, as they had wished, then, in consequence of this second wrong (first being their evil intention), they were barred from receiving any guidance. Subsequently, as they continued in their disbelief, totally blind to the call of reason and the truth that dawned upon them from time to time, Allah SWT set a seal upon their senses. So, although materially well off now, they will be total failures in the Hereafter.

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that the people who apostatise are truly at a greater loss in the hereafter because they have tarnished their own souls and plunged themselves into the abyss of hellfire.‼️ They do not realise that the main capital for living in the world is life. If that capital is not used for the gaining good deeds, of course it will be wasted in vain .

They get the following things for choosing error over guidance 1)The wrath of Allah Azzawajal.
2) Not receiving Allah’s guidance in this world.
3).Painful torture in the hereafter.

Their hearts, hearing, and vision are closed.
On the Day of Resurrection, they will be at a loss.
They lose the worldly pleasures that they pursue by devoting their energy and spending their lives. In the afterlife they get nothing but suffering. Allah Azzawajal sealed their hearts and ears as a consequence of their decision to reject the fundamentals of faith, of their deliberate choice of a path divergent from that charted out by the Qur’an.
_To understand that “Undoubtedly, all of our actions, words, thoughts and intentions are referred to Allah”. Therefore when we get the penalty of our deliberate sin, and our senses become impervious to good, and the penalty is referred to the justice of Allah Azzawajal._

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la strengthen our Imaan and save us from deviations and sin. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
