Surah An Nahl – Ayah 68

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 68_*

*وَأَوْحَىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا وَمِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَمِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ(68)*

*_”And your Lord inspired to the bee, “Take for yourself houses among the mountains and among the trees and in that which they construct.”(68)_*

اور تمہارے پروردگار نے شہد کی مکھیوں کو ارشاد فرمایا کہ پہاڑوں میں اور درختوں میں اور اونچی اونچی چھتریوں میں جو لوگ بناتے ہیں گھر بنا(68)

_The lexical meaning of the Arabic word *(‘Awhā/Wahyūn)* is secret inspiration which is felt only by the one who inspires and the other who is inspired with. (The message put into the mind or heart by Allahﷻ)._
_*Here the Bee’s instinct is referred to Allah’sﷻ teaching, which it undoubtedly is.*_

_HEﷻ sends wahi to the bee and inspires it with faculties to perform the whole of its wonderful work instinctively. The same is true of the bird that learns to fly, the fish that learns to swim, the newly born child that learns to suck milk, etc., etc. Then, it is also wahi with which Allahﷻ inspires a human being with a spontaneous idea. The same is the case with all the great discoveries, inventions, works of literature and art, etc., which would not have been possible without the benefit of wahi. As a matter of fact, every human being at one time or the other feels its mental or spiritual influence in the form of an idea or thought or plan or dream, which is confirmed by a subsequent experience to be the right guidance from the unseen wahi._

*_Act for the Day_* is:  _To *observe* honeycomb itself, which has a wonderful structure with hexagonal cells, is geometrically perfect, called *buyūt homes*._ If we look at its weight, the *beehive is very light*, but it can hold a heavy load, namely honey, eggs, and embryos. This is also evidence that shows the power of Allahﷻ.

This insect is tasked with production of food for humans in the form of Honey. Therefore their houses need to remain safe and non accessible. _And lets *observe* the way the bee finds out inaccessible places, in the hills, in the trees, and even among the habitations of men, and *let’s Glorify the marvels of nature, i.e., of Allah’sﷻ working in HIS Creation and thank HIM for a nutritious diet like Honey.*_
