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 20 & 21_*
*وَالَّذِيۡنَ يَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ لَا يَخۡلُقُوۡنَ شَيۡـئًا وَّهُمۡ يُخۡلَقُوۡنَؕ.(20)*
*اَمۡوَاتٌ غَيۡرُ اَحۡيَآءٍ ۚ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ اَيَّانَ يُبۡعَثُوۡنَ.(21)*
*_Those they call upon besides Allah create nothing; they are themselves created.(20)_*
*_They are dead, lifeless; and they do not know when they will be resurrected.”(21)_*
اور جن لوگوں کو یہ خدا کے سوا پکارتے ہیں وہ کوئی چیز بھی تو نہیں بناسکتے بلکہ خود ان کو اور بناتے ہیں.(20)
لاشیں ہیں بےجان۔ ان کو یہ بھی تو معلوم نہیں کہ اٹھائے کب جائیں گے.(21)
The Ayat describes the exclusive power of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la and HIS abilities as a Creator of the entire universe.‼️ *The words employed here refute man made deities clearly indicate that these deities were deceased prophets, saints, martyrs and pious and other extraordinary beings buried in their graves.* _Here their false belief is refuted by saying that first of all they are not alive to hear your appeals for help, for they have long past left this world. As for their spirits in the world of Barzakh, they do no even know when the Day of Resurrection will occur and when they will be raised for living again. When these spirits do not know their own condition and future, how can they be able to meet your needs and come to your rescue ❓_ *For being able to meet the needs of others, first of all it is necessary to have the knowledge of the Unseen so that the condition of everyone may be known and his call for help may be heard.* _This is the *specific attribute* of Allah Azzawajal and there is no sharer or associate in this attribute._
*_Act of the Day is:_* to realise and understand that the Idols and false deities have no creative power or ability to bring anything into existence. These idols are themselves created beings, dependent on Allah Azzawajal for their existence.‼️ *Therefore it is totally futile to worship a created false deity.* They are unaware of their own existence, let alone the existence of others. They have no knowledge of the future, including the Day of Resurrection.
–Let’s recognise the distinction between Allah Azzawajal’s divine attributes and the limitations of created beings and the stark contrast between Allah Azzawajal’s living, all-knowing essence and the lifeless, ignorant nature of idols. So let’s submitt to Allah Azzawajal’s power and authority by rejecting idolatry and polytheism. Let’s pay emphasis on accountability and the afterlife.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la strengthen our Imaan and grant us the true understanding of the Deen. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
