Surah An Nahl – Ayah 3

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 3_*

*خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ بِالۡحَـقِّ‌ؕ تَعٰلٰى عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُوۡنَ‏.(3)*

*_He created the heavens and the earth for a true purpose. Exalted be He far above the partners they ascribe to Him!(3)_*

اسی نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو مبنی برحکمت پیدا کیا۔ اس کی ذات ان (کافروں) کے شرک سے اونچی ہے.(3)

The Ayah Affirms the oneness of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la through the great signs in the creation of the universe.‼️ *This fact mentioned here is to influence people into choosing the right course of submission to Allah Azzawajal and shun shirk.* This creation has been made *`in truth’.* _This is to refuse all the conjectural theories advanced by philosophers. The entire system of the earth and the heavens is a witness to the truth of the doctrine of Tauhid and to the negation of shirk.when we look around everything in the universe attests to the great Truth that it has a single Originator and Sustainer and that there is no room for false gods as proposed by the polytheists. Had there been more than one God, an ordered universe would have never come into existence, instead, chaotic fragments would have been flying about._

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that that the heavens and the earth have not been created just for the fun of it.‼️ *This existence is not a theatrical play*. This world is not a child’s toy with which to amuse oneself as long as one wishes before crushing it to bits and throwing it away. *Creation is rather an act of great seriousness*. A great objective motivates it, and a wise purpose underlies it. Hence it has been created with *Haqq=True Purpose.* Therefore, after the lapse of a certain stage it is necessary for the Creator to take full account of the work that has been done and to use those results as the basis for the next stage.

–Let us not forget that the real subject of the Ayah is not the heavens and the earth, but us, to make us realise the purpose of human existence on earth..! *The Ayah is drawing our attention to the skies, the earth and objects, oh man, look, at the even mountains and stones that were created much lower than you are based on,* they were created for a purpose and the strange thing is that their purpose of existence is to make you fulfill your purpose of doing Ibadah to the one and the only one creator, so how could you fall into the worst sin of Shirk.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la make our Imaan stronger and give us firmness upon our religion. Aa’meen YaRabbul Aa’lameen._*
