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 30_*
*وَقِيۡلَ لِلَّذِيۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا مَاذَاۤ اَنۡزَلَ رَبُّكُمۡؕ قَالُوۡا خَيۡرًاؕ لِّـلَّذِيۡنَ اَحۡسَنُوۡا فِىۡ هٰذِهِ الدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٌ ؕ وَلَدَارُ الۡاٰخِرَةِ خَيۡرٌ ؕ وَلَنِعۡمَ دَارُ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَۙ.(30)*
*_But when it is said to those who fear Allah: What has your Lord sent down? they say: All that is good. For those who do good, there is good [reward] in this world, and the abode of the hereafter is better, and how excellent is the abode of those who fear Allah,(30)_*
اور (جب) پرہیزگاروں سے پوچھا جاتا ہے کہ تمہارے پروردگار نے کیا نازل کیا ہے۔ تو کہتے ہیں کہ بہترین (کلام) ۔ جو لوگ نیکوکار ہیں ان کے لیے اس دنیا میں بھلائی ہے۔ اور آخرت کا گھر تو بہت ہی اچھا ہے۔ اور پرہیز گاروں کا گھر بہت خوب ہے.(30)
The Ayah describes the response of the pious to the enquiries made by the visitors of Makkah regarding the Prophet SAWS and the Qur’an.‼️ In contrast to the disbelievers who described the Qur’an as a *”ancient tales”(16:24)* the righteous believers spoke highly of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and of the teachings of the Quran. Unlike the former they did not delude the people nor created misunderstandings in the minds. The *Muttaqun* realise that the very essence of the divine message and all that Allah Azzawajal has revealed of directives, commandments and laws is good and perfect. Hence they sum it up in a word: *_“All that is good.”_* _These pious accepted and welcomed that blessing of the Qur’an and its teachings, they submitted to Allah Azzawajal and gave thanks to HIM for it, then they learned it and acted in accordance with it. For them Allah SWT rewards them with abundance in this world with lot of provisions, satisfaction , peace of mind , security and khair in all of their affairs. Moreover, it emphasises the fact that: *their abode in Hereafter is even better than their worldly life.* What a nice place it is the residence of those who are pious._
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that the whole of the Qur’an is a call to do Good and nothing but the Good.‼️ *Hence those who follow the teachings of Qur’an will get only Good.* The Qur’an encourages the believers to reach the stage of becoming *Muhsin* by the performance of *Ihsan*. Such are those they always do Good with the injunctions of their Lord and show goodness to their fellow beings.
From Shuhaib(RA), he said, Rasulullah ﷺ said,
“Strange is the affair of the believer! Indeed, his affair, entirely, is good. And
that is not for anyone except the believer. If something good happens to him, he is grateful, and there is good for him; but if something bad happens to him, he is patient, and there is good for him.”
(Sahih Muslim No. 2999)
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder upon the Ayat of the Qur’an and doers of the Good. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
