Surah An Nahl – Ayah 42

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 42_*

*الَّذِيۡنَ صَبَرُوۡا وَعَلٰى رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُوۡنَ.(42)*

*_[They are those] who patiently persevere and put their trust in their Lord.(42)_*

یعنی وہ لوگ جو صبر کرتے ہیں اور اپنے پروردگار پر بھروسا رکھتے ہیں.(42)

The Ayah describes the qualities of those believers which made them deserve the reward from Allahﷻ.‼️They were the believers who migrated for the cause of Allahﷻ and were patient with what happened to them, such as accepting the torture of the Quraysh infidels, enduring suffering because of their longing for the hometown they had left behind, and bearing the burden of life in a foreign land because of all the deprivations and being isolated from their families who were still in Makkah.

Allahﷻ mentions their nature as people who are patient and submit their affairs to HIM. _They patiently persevere in heeding the commands and prohibitions of Allahﷻ, and in accepting the decree of Allahﷻ, even if it is painful, and in bearing the harm and trials that they suffer in HIS cause and they put their trust in HIM that is, they rely on HIM in doing what HEﷻ loves; they do not rely on themselves._

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that patience and trust in Allahﷻ are the prerequisites for success in all of our matters as a believer.‼️ *By these two qualities we can attain success and our affairs become sound.* _No one misses out on anything good except because of lack of patience and lack of effort in what is expected of him, or because of failing to put one’s trust in Allahﷻ and rely upon HIM._

This Ayah serves as a reminder of:

1. The need for resilience and perseverance in the face of challenges.
2. The importance of trusting Allah’sﷻ plan and timing and relying on Allah’sﷻ wisdom and mercy
3. The value of cultivating patience and trust in daily life.
4. The development of character and spiritual growth.
5. The role of patience and trust in overcoming adversity.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to develop these qualities so to become eligible to attain HIS pleasure. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
