Surah An Nahl – Ayah 79

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 79_*

*اَلَمۡ یَرَوۡا اِلَی الطَّیۡرِ مُسَخَّرٰتٍ فِیۡ جَوِّ السَّمَآءِ ؕ مَا یُمۡسِکُہُنَّ اِلَّا اللّٰہُ ؕ اِنَّ فِیۡ ذٰلِکَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوۡمٍ یُّؤۡمِنُوۡنَ(79)*

*_”Do they not see the birds controlled in the midst of the sky? None holds them except Allah. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who believe”(79)._*

کیا ان لوگوں نے کبھی پرندوں کو نہیں دیکھا کہ فضائے آسمانی میں کس طرح مسخر ہیں؟ اللہ کے سوا کس نے ان کو تھام رکھا ہے؟ اس میں بہت نشانیاں ہیں ان لوگوں کے لیے جو ایمان لاتے ہیں.(79)

_All the wonderful things in creation are due to the Artistry, Power, and Wisdom of Allahﷻ‼️_
_A question is asked to make us think about the Oneness of Allahﷻ. Do they not see the birds held (flying) in the midst of the sky? None gave them the ability to fly but Allahﷻ. HEﷻ does so through HIS laws of nature, which make the birds able to fly and make the atmosphere around us amenable for their flight. It is HIS laws that keep the birds in mid-air, floating safely, without fear that they may fall Verily, in this are ayât (clear proof and a sign) for a people who believe._

*_Act for the Day is:_* _To observe the birds flying, when you go out today and reflect upon the Ayah.‼️_ Because it is so familiar to us to see birds flying in midair, we do not pay attention to the fascinating wonder their flying involves. Our minds do not give it much thought unless we are fully alerted to it, contemplating it with the eyes.

_Understand the Oneness of Allahﷻ, and try to imagine and note the various other driving forces working behind the simple flight of the birds in the midair, and Glorify Allahﷻ for HIS Artistry, Power and Wisdom, (Imagination helps develop Thinking Power). *Similarly, are the inventions and discoveries, due to man’s intelligence, for man’s intelligence is also a gift direct from Allahﷻ.*_ (Please read S16: A80-81 for more understanding of similar blessings of Allahﷻ).

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to ponder and reflect upon the signs that point to HIS oneness and strengthen our Imaan. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
