اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah An-Nahl Ayat 5 & 6_*
*وَالۡاَنۡعَامَ خَلَقَهَا ۚ لَـكُمۡ فِيۡهَا دِفۡ ٴٌ وَّمَنَافِعُ وَمِنۡهَا تَاۡكُلُوۡنَ.(5)*
*وَلَكُمۡ فِيۡهَا جَمَالٌ حِيۡنَ تُرِيۡحُوۡنَ وَحِيۡنَ تَسۡرَحُوۡنَ.(6)*
*_And He created the livestock animals for you; they are a source of warm clothing [and blankets] and other benefits, and of their [meat] you eat.(5)_*
*_You find beauty in them when you bring them home in the evening and when you drive them out to pasture [in the morning].(6)_*
اور چارپایوں کو بھی اسی نے پیدا کیا۔ ان میں تمہارے لیے جڑاول اور بہت سے فائدے ہیں اور ان میں سے بعض کو تم کھاتے بھی ہو.(5)
اور جب شام کو انہیں (جنگل سے) لاتے ہو اور جب صبح کو (جنگل) چرانے لے جاتے ہو تو ان سے تمہاری عزت وشان ہے.(6)
As this Surah is also called with another name Ni’am meaning blessings. The Ayah highlights how these blessing make the human life easier to sustain on this planet.‼️ This Ayah highlights the benefits and uses of livestock animals, which Allah Azzawajal has created for human beings:
1. Warm clothing and blankets: Livestock provide wool, fur, and hair, which can be used to make warm clothing and blankets.
2. Other benefits: This includes milk, labor, and transportation, among other advantages.
3. Meat: Livestock are a source of food, providing nourishment and sustenance for humans.
The next Ayah describes the psychological benefits of watching the livestock and taking care of another of Allah Azzawajal’s creation. And, in the beauty of the scene is the evidence of Allah’s existence. One can somehow explain away the creation, but can he ignore the beauty noticeable in every creation? Who is the creator of this beauty? Only those can appreciate this verse who have seen in the natural surroundings the beauty of a flock driven back by the evening or being taken out into the fields in the morning.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand and reflect how the life has been made easy and sustainable by Allah Azzawajal for us on this planet earth.‼️ Let’s appreciate and show gratitude for
1. Allah Azzawajal’s wisdom and foresight in creation.
2. The interconnectedness of human life and the natural world.
3. Gratitude and appreciation for Allah Azzawajal’s blessings and provisions.
4. Appreciation for the simple pleasures in life.
5. The importance of caring for and nurturing other creation.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability remain grateful for all the blessings through our Obedience. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
