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 83_*
*يَعۡرِفُوۡنَ نِعۡمَتَ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ يُنۡكِرُوۡنَهَا وَاَكۡثَرُهُمُ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ.(83)*
*_They recognise the blessing of Allah, yet they deny it, and most of them are ungrateful..(83)_*
یہ خدا کی نعمتوں سے واقف ہیں۔ مگر (واقف ہو کر) اُن سے انکار کرتے ہیں اور یہ اکثر ناشکرے ہیں.(83)
The Ayah highlights the human inconsistency and ungrateful nature.‼️ The polytheists did not deny that these good things and blessings of life were created by Allahﷻ., but when someone was a recipient of a particular blessing, they considered it a favour of such and such saint or angel instead of Allahﷻ, or that it was the result of the intercession of recommendation of some other being through their ‘wasila’ or agency. On account of this belief this ‘wasila’ or ‘wasta’ (agency) were considered by them as worthy of their gratitude. Then they used to deal with them as they dealt with Allahﷻ only. *Thus they admitted the blessings of Allahﷻ on the one hand, on the other they denied it by adopting a policy which was in contravention of that admission.* This wrong attitude and wrong acts of the polytheists is being reproached here.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that mere recognition of Allah’sﷻ blessings is insufficient rather it must be acknowledged through our Obedience to HIS commands and staying away from HIS prohibitions and always keep in mind ungrateful nature or denial of Allah’sﷻ blessings leads to kufur (disbelief).”‼️
Let’s adhere to Tauheed and never forget that Allahﷻ is the source of all the blessings in our lives and HEﷻ is always near and responds to our supplication as HEﷻ is All Mighty and All wise.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us the ability to stay away from shirk and deviations. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
