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 50_*
*يَخَافُوۡنَ رَبَّهُمۡ مِّنۡ فَوۡقِهِمۡ وَيَفۡعَلُوۡنَ مَا يُؤۡمَرُوۡنَ ۩ .(50)*
*_They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.(50)_*
اور اپنے پروردگار سے جو ان کے اوپر ہے ڈرتے ہیں اور جو ان کو ارشاد ہوتا ہے اس پر عمل کرتے ہیں.(50)
This is an *Ayat-e-sajdah*, on reciting which it is necessary to perform a sajdah.‼️ Having praised the Angels for their constant obedience and submission to HIM, HEﷻ then praises them for their fear of HIS Might and HIS Being for HEﷻ Who is above them in terms of HIS essence, might and perfect attributes, and they are beneath HIM, so they are humble and subjugated. *Four attributes of the angels have been mentioned.* First: that they prostrate themselves before Allahﷻ alone. Second: They do not brag and are not proud, and do not transgress. Third: They fear their Lord, with this conviction that He is ever present above them. And fourth: That they are obedient and they do whatever they are bidden by HIM to do. Hence the disbelievers of Makkah who wrongly used to consider Angels as Allah’sﷻ daughters are clarified that they are also subject to HIS laws and authority and they do prostate to HIM in obedience.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that nothing of Allahﷻ creation can escape HIS power, all are subject to HIS control.‼️ *The fear of the Angels is because they know HIS magnanimous position and splendor and they are weak creatures under HIS authority.* When the Angels are submitting then how can a person think of not submitting to the laws of Allahﷻ . With this explanation, it is hoped that a disbeliever can end his denial and return to their original nature, namely submitting under the authority of Allahﷻ and believing in the truth of the revelations revealed to HIS chosen servant, namely Muhammad Sallallahu Alahi wa Sallam.
–Let’s understand the relationship between fear and obedience and make a progress in spiritual growth to attain HIS nearness.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to remain obedient to HIS commands and save us from the trap of shaitan and going astray. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
