Surah An Nahl – Ayah 22 & 23

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 22 & 23_*

*اِلٰهُكُمۡ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ‌‌ ۚ فَالَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ قُلُوۡبُهُمۡ مُّنۡكِرَةٌ وَّهُمۡ مُّسۡتَكۡبِرُوۡنَ.(22)*

*لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّوۡنَ وَمَا يُعۡلِنُوۡنَ‌ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الۡمُسۡتَكۡبِرِيۡنَ‏.(23)*

*_Your God is One God. As for those who do not believe in the hereafter, their hearts refuse to know, and they are arrogant.(22)_*
.
*_Undoubtedly Allah knows what they conceal and what they disclose. Verily He does not love the arrogant.(23)_*

تمہارا معبود تو اکیلا خدا ہے۔ تو جو آخرت پر ایمان نہیں رکھتے ان کے دل انکار کر رہے ہیں اور وہ سرکش ہو رہے ہیں.(22)

یہ جو کچھ چھپاتے ہیں اور جو ظاہر کرتے ہیں خدا اس کو ضرور جانتا ہے۔ وہ سرکشوں کو ہرگز پسند نہیں کرتا.(23)

The Ayat gives a clear statement of Allah Azzawajal’s oneness.‼️ *The Ayah provides a clear link between believing in Allah Azzawajal’s oneness and believing in the Day of Judgement.* _Indeed it makes the one evidence for the other, as worshipping Allah Azzawajal alone is closely associated with belief in resurrection and reward. It is in the hereafter that Allah’s wisdom and justice are clearly and fully manifested. Those who deny the oneness of Allah Azzawajal actually deny the hereafter and they are not prepared to accept that belief and as a result of false belief they consider bowing before the truth an act below their dignity._ *They have become so irresponsible, carefree and intoxicated with the life of this world, that they feel no hesitation or pang in denying any reality, and they put no value on or attach no worth to truth.* _That is why, they are not prepared to impose any moral restraint on themselves and feel no need to investigate as to whether the way, they are following is right or wrong._

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that the main source of disbelief is Arrogance and not Ignorance.‼️ *Anyone who sees himself as better than others will never accept the truth from them, and will even try to deny and reject it.* Even though they know very well that what the believers say and do is true and right. *They are not short of proof and evidence. The fault lies rather with them and their own hardened natures.* _Their hearts persistently deny the very signs they see. They are arrogant, unwilling to accept clear evidence, submit to Allah Azzawajal, and believe in HIS Messenger._ However, it seems that people like this do not know that *_”Allah Azzawajal does not love those who are arrogant.”_* An arrogant nature is unlikely to be convinced or to submit to the truth.

— _To clearly understand that the Belief in the Last Day makes humans feel humble, just as denial of the Last Day creates in them arrogance._

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la strengthen our Imaan and make us humble and soften our hearts. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
