Surah An Nahl – Ayah 31

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 31_*

*جَنّٰتُ عَدۡنٍ يَّدۡخُلُوۡنَهَا تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ‌ لَهُمۡ فِيۡهَا مَا يَشَآءُوۡنَ‌ؕ كَذٰلِكَ يَجۡزِى اللّٰهُ الۡمُتَّقِيۡنَۙ.(31)*

*_Gardens of perpetual abode, which they will enter, through which rivers flow. There they will have all that they wish for. Thus does Allah reward those who fear Him,(31)_*

(وہ) بہشت جاودانی (ہیں) جن میں وہ داخل ہوں گے ان کے نیچے نہریں بہہ رہی ہیں وہاں جو چاہیں گے ان کے لیے میسر ہوگا۔ خدا پرہیزگاروں کو ایسا ہی بدلہ دیتا ہے.(31)

This Ayah describes the Jannah and it’s limitless bounties which the pious will be bestowed with.‼️The meaning of *عَدنٍ Eden* is *eternal* It is a *permanent place* of residence and with huge resources they will have comforts and luxuries in abundance. _They will not be able to ask for any kind of joy that would bring them delight and immense pleasure, but it will be granted to them. Hence Allahﷻ will give the people of paradise all that they wish for, to the extent that HE SWT will even prompt them to ask for some kinds of joy that never crossed their minds._ Allah ﷻ always mentions the river when talking about heaven. Every one of us usually loves to have his residence near some river , sea or pool. It is a delight to have a abode near water sources.

*_Act of the Day is:_* to realise the eternal and limitless reward for Obedience to HIS commands and refraining from HIS prohibitions.‼️ The dweller will get there whatever he will desire and wish and there will be nothing at all to offend him. *This is the blessing that has never been attained even by the richest and the most powerful people in this world.*

—To understand that the real suffering of man is that what he wants he does not always get, and it is impossible in this world that man may always get everything that he wants; not even the greatest king in this world could get his every wish fulfilled.❗ *If it were so, this world would become Paradise. But Allahﷻ has not created this world for this purpose, and therefore, it would be absolutely wrong for any person to expect the fulfillment of his every wish.* _For this purpose, HE SWT has created Paradise in the next world, the very definition of which is that every wish of the entrants therein will be fulfilled and their every want will be met. It is the last word for the most desirable and the most desired thing._ Thus does Allahﷻ reward those who fear HIM and fear HIS wrath and punishment by fulfilling what HE SWT has enjoined upon them of obligatory beliefs, actions and words having to do with HIS rights and the rights of HIS slaves, and by refraining from that which HE SWT has prohibited to them.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us ability to fulfill HIS commands by enjoining all that is Good and refraining from HIS prohibitions and grant us Jannah in the Hereafter. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
