Surah An Nahl – Ayah 38

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 38_*

*وَ اَقۡسَمُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ جَهۡدَ اَيۡمَانِهِمۡ‌ۙ لَا يَبۡعَثُ اللّٰهُ مَنۡ يَّمُوۡتُ‌ؕ بَلٰى وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقًّا وَّلٰـكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَۙ‏.(38)*

*_They swear their most solemn oaths by Allah that Allah will not raise up those who die. Nay, it is a promise by which He is bound, but most people do not realise.(38)_*

اور یہ خدا کی سخت سخت قسمیں کھاتے ہیں کہ جو مرجاتا ہے خدا اسے (قیامت کے دن قبر سے) نہیں اٹھائے گا۔ ہرگز نہیں۔ یہ (خدا کا) وعدہ سچا ہے اور اس کا پورا کرنا اسے ضرور ہے لیکن اکثر لوگ نہیں جانتے.(38)

The Ayah depicts one more reason of the disbelievers for rejecting the call of the Messengerﷺ.‼️ *They swore by the name of Allahﷻ with a serious attitude and they remained stubborn in not wanting to believe that the Day of Resurrection would occur after this worldly life.* _They acknowledged Allahﷻ as their creator and they were swearing with HIS name yet they were associating idols in HIS worship._ They didn’t wanted accountability of their deeds so as to let their desires get fulfilled irrespective of whether it was lawful or unlawful. *They considered such resurrection to be impossible after bodies have decomposed, organs separated and molecules are scattered everywhere.* They overlook the miraculous nature of life how it begins within womb in the first place, hence *Allahﷻ corrects their misconception with a assertion that When HEﷻ makes a promise, then that promise is fulfilled without fail even though most people do not know it.* People are rarely aware of the true nature of a promise made by Allahﷻ.

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that the true nature of Allahﷻ’s power and the fact that it cannot be compared with that of human beings or their abilities.‼️ *We should realise that to bring anything into existence does not trouble Allahﷻ in any way, and does not place any burden whatsoever on HIS power.* It is sufficient for HIM to decide to bring something into existence for that thing to exist.

–To understand that Allah’sﷻ purpose behind resurrection:- *The fact is that nothing reaches its fullness in this life*. People differ on truth and falsehood, right and error, good and evil, etc. Their differences and disputes cannot be settled or reach the right conclusion in this life on earth. It is a matter of Allah’sﷻ will that some of them live long, and that they are not held to account for their deeds during this life. Thus, reward and punishment are administered in the hereafter when everything reaches its fullness.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la strengthen our Imaan and save us from getting mislead and going astray. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
