Surah An Nahl – Ayah 17

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 17_*

*اَفَمَنۡ يَّخۡلُقُ كَمَنۡ لَّا يَخۡلُقُ‌ؕ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ.(17)*

*_Is then He Who creates like one who cannot create? Will you not then pay heed?(17)_*

تو جو (اتنی مخلوقات) پیدا کرے۔ کیا وہ ویسا ہے جو کچھ بھی پیدا نہ کرسکے تو پھر تم غور کیوں نہیں کرتے؟.(17)

The Ayah poses a poses a rhetorical question _“Is HE, then, who creates like one that cannot create?”_ that highlights the contrast between Allah Azzawajal’s creative power and human limitations.‼️ *The Ayah calls to recognise and acknowledge Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la’s unique power and authority.* _It focuses on the vast difference between Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la, the Creator, and human beings or idols that are incapable of creation. It invites us to reflect, ponder, and ultimately submit to Allah Azzawajal’s majesty and wisdom. *“Will you not, then, think or pay heed?*_

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that *To place the Creator and the created one on par is most unreasonable and unjustifiable.*‼️ _The real waywardness of the polytheists is that they do not distinguish between the Creator and the created, and they associate the created ones with the Creator in HIS attributes, rights and authority. It may either be idolatry or hero-worship, all are the result of this false belief and practice._

—Let’s Ponder and reflect upon

1. The uniqueness of Allah Azzawajal’s creative power.
2. The limitations and weaknesses of human beings and idols
3. The importance of acknowledging and submitting to Allah’s authority.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la strengthen our Imaan and grant us the ability to adhere to Tauheed till the last breath of our life. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
