Surah An Nahl – Ayah 64

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 64_*

*وَ مَاۤ اَنۡزَلۡنَا عَلَیۡکَ الۡکِتٰبَ اِلَّا لِتُبَیِّنَ لَہُمُ الَّذِی اخۡتَلَفُوۡا فِیۡہِ ۙ وَ ہُدًی وَّ رَحۡمَۃً لِّقَوۡمٍ یُّؤۡمِنُوۡن.(64)*

*_”And We have not revealed to you the Book except that you may make clear to them that in which they differ and as a guidance and mercy for a people who believe”.(64)_*

ہم نے یہ کتاب تم پر اس لیے نازل کی ہے کہ تم ان اختلافات کی حقیقت ان پر کھول دو جن میں یہ پڑے ہوئے ہیں ۔ یہ کتاب رہنمائی اور رحمت بن کر اتری ہے ان لوگوں کے لیے جو اسے مان لیں.(64)

The Ayah describes the duties and obligations of the Messenger. This is called Faridatun Nabawiyah (the duty of the Prophet).‼️ _Allahﷻ has sent Qur’an as a Heavenly Book to Prophet Mohammedﷺ specifically *to make the imparatives in faith, about which non believers dispute.* Thus it is indeed a guidance to salvation, and a mercy for the Well-being of a people who believe in divine revelation. The path of duty before Allah’sﷻ Messenger was three fold;_

_1) That he should *bring about unity among the jarring sects,* for the Gospel of Unity, while preaching the One True God, leads also to *unity of mankind.*_

_2) That the *revelation should be a Guide to the right conduct;* and,_

_3) That it should *Show the path of repentance and salvation,* and thus be the highest mercy to erring sinners._

*_Act for the Day is:_* _To understand that this Book (Al Qur’an) has afforded us an excellent opportunity to *resolve our differences* which have been caused by the superstitious creeds of our forefathers, and which have divided, us into warring factions._

_*Let’s then UNITE on the permanent basis of the Truth presented by the Qur’an,*_ (but those stubborn/arrogant people preferring their former condition even after the coming of this blessing, shall meet with disgrace and torment).
_Let’s be guided to Right Conduct, because *ONLY THOSE, WHO BELIEVE IN THIS BOOK* (Al Qur’an), will find the Right Way and blessed with mercy and favours from AIlahﷻ”._

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder upon the Qur’ān and guide our hearts to remain united and gain HIS pleasure. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
