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 18_*
*وَ اِنۡ تَعُدُّوۡا نِعۡمَۃَ اللّٰہِ لَا تُحۡصُوۡہَا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ لَغَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِیۡمٌ(18)*
*_”And if you should count the Favors of Allah you cannot enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful”.(18)_*
کیا تم ہوش میں نہیں آتے؟ اگر تم اللہ کی نعمتوں کو گننا چاہو تو گن نہیں سکتے ، حقیقت یہ ہے کہ وہ بڑا ہی درگزر کرنے والا اور رحیم ہے.(18)
_Though Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la goes on showering countless blessings upon people, they behave in an ungrateful, faithless and rebellious manner towards HIM.‼️ *HE SWT does not punish them immediately, but gives them respite, for HE SWT is Forgiving and Compassionate.* (This is true of both individuals and communities)._
_There are people, who deny even the existence of God, yet HE SWT goes on bestowing HIS favours on them for years till their end. There are others who set up partners with HIM in HIS Attributes, Powers and Rights, and show their gratitude to others than Him for His blessings, yet HE SWT does not withhold HIS favours from them; there are still others who profess to acknowledge HIM as their Creator and Benefactor, yet rebel against HIM and are disobedient to HIM, but in spite of all this HE SWT continues to shower HIS countless blessings on them as long as they live._
*_Act for the Day is:_* _To understand that of all Allah Azzawajal’s favours innumerable, HIS Mercy and Forgiveness in the spiritual plane are the greatest, and of eternal value to us in our future lives.‼️_
*If people are unable even to compute Allah Azzawajal’s blessings, they are much less likely to be able to thank HIM enough for them.* We only notice the importance of a blessing that we take for granted when it is withdrawn. Nevertheless, Allah Azzawajal’s forgiveness ensures that man’s shortcomings and lack of gratitude are overlooked: *_“Allah is indeed Much Forgiving, Merciful.”_* These are HIS beautiful attributes. Allah Azzawajal is a great Forgiver, therefore, HE SWT is inviting us to appreciate HIS favors and turn towards HIS forgiveness, and HE SWT is Most Merciful, therefore, HE SWT wants that we should join the band of HIS slaves and come under the blissful shadow of HIS mercy.
_Hence, let’s learn to seek His Forgiveness by forgiving others in our lives and always keep doing Tawbah and Astaghfar and receive HIS Mercy Continuously._
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to always remain grateful to HIM through our Obedience and seek HIS forgiveness for our shortcomings. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
