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 97_*
*مَنۡ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِّنۡ ذَکَرٍ اَوۡ اُنۡثٰی وَ ہُوَ مُؤۡمِنٌ فَلَنُحۡیِیَنَّہٗ حَیٰوۃً طَیِّبَۃً ۚ وَ لَنَجۡزِیَنَّہُمۡ اَجۡرَہُمۡ بِاَحۡسَنِ مَا کَانُوۡا یَعۡمَلُوۡنَ(97)*
*_”Whoever does righteous deeds, Man or Women, and has Faith, Verily, to him We shall give A good Life, and we Will surely pay them their reward According to the best of their actions”.(97)_*
جو شخص بھی نیک عمل کرے گا خواہ وہ مرد ہو یا عورت ، بشرطیکہ ہو وہ مومن ، اسے ہم دنیا میں پاکیزہ زندگی بسر کرائیں گے اور ﴿آخرت میں﴾ ایسے لوگوں کو ان کے اجر ان کے بہترین اعمال کے مطابق بخشیں گے.(97)
This Ayah *lays down a general rule about action and reward:*‼️The *first item* in this rule is that the *two genders, male and female, are equal with regard to their actions and the reward* they receive for them. They *enjoy the same relationship with Allahﷻ and the same standing in HIS regard*. Hence, HE SWT rewards them equally, applying one measure to both of them.
Another aspect of this general rule is *that good action must have a strong foundation, which must be faith(Imaan)*. Without it, good action cannot be cemented into a well built structure. It remains haphazard, and it soon becomes like ashes blown in every direction by a strong wind. Faith provides the
*axis* around which all bonds turn._Faith, if sincere, means right conduct. When these two confirm each other, Allah’sﷻ Grace transforms our life. Instead of troubled and worried, we have peace and contentment._
_This Ayah removes the wrong notions of both the Muslims and the disbelievers who are of the opinion that those who adopt a just honest and pious attitude, are most surely losers in this world, though they might be gainers in the Hereafter. AIlahﷻ removes this misunderstanding, as if to say, “This presumption of yours is wrong. The righteous attitude not only leads to a happy life in the Hereafter, but it also guarantees, by Allah’sﷻ grace, a pure and happy life even in this world.”_
_The transformation is visible in this life itself, but the ‘reward’ in terms of the Hereafter will be far beyond our imagination._
*_Act for the Day is:_* _To Understand that; there are many things in life, other than money, which provide a goodly feeling and happiness.‼️ A strong bond with Allahﷻ and a feeling of trust in HIM and HIS abounding grace make life happy indeed. This is a fact: those people who are sincerely righteous, honest, pure and fair in their dealings, Enjoy a much better life in this world, for they enjoy that confidence and real honour and respect because of their spotless character, which is not enjoyed by those who lack these virtues._
_*”And We will reward such people (in the Hereafter) according to their best deeds,”* means that “Their rank in the Hereafter shall be determined according to their best deeds”. In other words, “If a person has done both small and great virtues,” he will be awarded that high rank which he would merit according to his greatest virtues._
_We shall strive for “Right Conduct” with Faith & Sincerity. Let’s Continuously seek Allah’sﷻ Help Even for Simplest Matter & ask for protection from shaitaan._
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant HIS help continuously and save us from going astray. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
