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 48_*
*اَوَ لَمۡ یَرَوۡا اِلٰی مَا خَلَقَ اللّٰہُ مِنۡ شَیۡءٍ یَّتَفَیَّؤُا ظِلٰلُہٗ عَنِ الۡیَمِیۡنِ وَ الشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدًا لِّلّٰہِ وَ ہُمۡ دٰخِرُوۡنَ(48)*
*_”Have they not considered what Allah has created? Their shadows incline to the right and to the left, prostrating to Allah, while they are humble?”(48)_*
اور کیا یہ لوگ اللہ کی پیدا کی ہوئی کسی چیز کو بھی نہیں دیکھتے کہ اس کا سایہ کس طرح اللہ کے حضور سجدہ کرتے ہوئے دائیں اور بائیں گرتا ہے؟ سب کے سب اس طرح اظہار عجز کر رہے ہیں .(48)
_Allah SWT is explaining, The fact that everything – A man, An animal, A tree or A mountain-casts its shadow, *is a clear proof of its material nature, and everything which is made of matter, is a creation of Allah Azzawajal and is also subject to a Universal Natural System/Law (UNS).* In this case the Universal Law is that every material thing casts its shadow, which is symbolical of its servitude, and it cannot have any share whatsoever in Godhead._
_*”Not only all things on the earth alone but also all things in the heavens, including all those whom people have been regarding as gods and goddesses, and considering to be closely related to AIlah Azzawajal are subservient to HIM, and have no share whatsoever in HIS Godhead.”* Incidentally, it implies the existence of living creatures not only on the earth but in the planets, too. (Read S16:A49 also)_
*_Act for the Day is:_* _To observe the Shadows of inanimate things and understand the metaphor which recognises Allah SWT and humbly worshipping HIM._
_Even their shadows turn around from right to left according to the light from above, and, they humbly prostrate themselves on the ground to celebrate the praises of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la._
_The shadows suggest how all things in this life are mere shadows of the true Reality in heaven; and they should turn and move in accordance with the divine light, as the shadows of trees and buildings move in one direction or another, and lengthen or shorten according to the light from heaven._
_*”Everything in Nature proclaims Allah’s Glory and humbly serves the Lord Supreme”, so we shall do so also Continuously/Consistently.*_
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to submit to HIM in toto and gain HIS pleasure. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
