Surah An Nahl – Ayah 7 & 8

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 7 & 8_*

*وَتَحۡمِلُ اَثۡقَالَـكُمۡ اِلٰى بَلَدٍ لَّمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا بٰلِغِيۡهِ اِلَّا بِشِقِّ الۡاَنۡفُسِ‌ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكُمۡ لَرَءُوۡفٌ رَّحِيۡمٌۙ‏.(7)*

*وَّالۡخَـيۡلَ وَالۡبِغَالَ وَالۡحَمِيۡرَ لِتَرۡكَبُوۡهَا وَزِيۡنَةً‌ ؕ وَيَخۡلُقُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏.(8)*

*_And they carry your heavy loads to lands that you could not [otherwise] reach without great hardship. Verily your Lord is indeed Compassionate, Most Merciful.(7)_*

*_And [He has created] horses, mules and donkeys for you to ride and use for show, and He will yet create things of which [today] you have no knowledge.(8)_*

اور (دور دراز) شہروں میں جہاں تم زحمتِ شاقّہ کے بغیر پہنچ نہیں سکتے وہ تمہارے بوجھ اٹھا کر لے جاتے ہیں۔ کچھ شک نہیں کہ تمہارا پروردگار نہایت شفقت والا اور مہربان ہے.(7)

اور اسی نے گھوڑے اور خچر اور گدھے پیدا کئے تاکہ تم ان پر سوار ہو اور (وہ تمہارے لیے) رونق وزینت (بھی ہیں) اور وہ (اور چیزیں بھی) پیدا کرتا ہے جن کی تم کو خبر نہیں.(8)

These Ayat highlights the blessings of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la bestowed upon Mankind to make their life comfortable upon this planet.‼️ One of the benefit of the livestock is that they help us carry loads from one area of land to another without which it would have been much difficult. The other livestock such as those mentioned are Horses, Mules and donkeys are used for riding and travelling as well as a means of adornment while riding them. HE SWT will continue to bestow the things upon the mankind by creating the things or make the ease of inventions which we as humans do not have knowledge. Thus, under this very statement, included there are all newly invented transport facilities which did not exist in the past, nor was there any precise idea of what they shall be. For instance, there are railroads, automobiles and aeroplanes. Apart from these means of transport which have been invented to date, included here are all other ways and means which will be invented and used in the future.

*_Act of the Day is:_* to remain always grateful to Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la for making our lives easier and free from hardships.‼️ HE SWT is *Rauf رَءوفٌ* and *Raheem رَحيمٌ* . The meaning of رَءوفٌ is someone who knows what we are going through. Allah ﷻ knows what our needs and our hardships are, so Allah ﷻ gives us ease. Allah ﷻ gives that facility because Allah ﷻ is also رَحيمٌ – very loving towards us as His creatures.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to always remain grateful for HIS blessings by using them to gain HIS pleasure. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
