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 26_*
*قَدۡ مَكَرَ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ فَاَتَى اللّٰهُ بُنۡيَانَهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡقَوَاعِدِ فَخَرَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ السَّقۡفُ مِنۡ فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَاَتٰٮهُمُ الۡعَذَابُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ.(26)*
*_Those who came before them [also] plotted and planned, but Allah struck at the foundations of what they built and the roof fell down on them from above; the punishment came upon them from a direction they did not expect.(26)_*
ان سے پہلے لوگوں نے بھی (ایسی ہی) مکاریاں کی تھیں تو خدا (کا حکم) ان کی عمارت کے ستونوں پر آپہنچا اور چھت ان پر ان کے اوپر سے گر پڑی اور (ایسی طرف سے) ان پر عذاب آ واقع ہوا جہاں سے ان کو خیال بھی نہ تھا.(26)
The Ayah describes how the chain of conspirators continued to work against the word of Allah Azzawajal and HIS Messengers previously and with the continuous help of Allah Azzawajal it was foiled. It provides a stern warning to the conspirators and a form of solace to the believers.‼️ *Their entire plotting is compared metaphorically to a building with foundations, corners, ceiling and roof, which implies that it was a massive and well designed plot. But nothing can stand up to Allah Azzawajal’s might.* _HE SWT struck their edifice at its foundation, and its roof fell in upon them from above. This paints a picture of total destruction, overtaking them from beneath their feet and above their heads. The foundations supporting the building collapse, and the roof falls down burying them. “And suffering befell them from where they did not perceive.” Thus the building they very carefully constructed to provide them with shelter becomes their burial ground as they are overwhelmed from every direction. Little did they think that what they built for shelter would become the instrument of their own destruction._
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that Allah Azzawajal’s message goes on along its clear way, no matter what the plotters devise.‼️ *People turn around from time to time, and they see that their highly effective plots are completely foiled by the help of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la.* The plotters think that that their scheming is too strong and elaborate to ever be foiled. *But Allah Azzawajal’s own scheming is far too weighty for them to oppose.* This scene is often repeated from time to time. The Quraysh were not the first to take this stand, nor would they be the last, such enemies of Islam continue to come along in future too. But the advocates of Islam should continue to in their path with perseverance and seeking the help of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la which is sure to come.
–To eradicate the entire mental and organisational system of the enemies, one must deal with them fundamentally and not superficially so that all of them might be vanished. Therefore the believers should seek the correct and right knowledge of Deen and put the things into practice and show Islam as a practical religion.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la strengthen our Imaan and grant us the ability to hold on to the Deen of Islam with perseverance. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
