Surah Ibrahim – Ayah 26

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Ibrahim Ayah 26_*

*وَمَثَلُ كَلِمَةٍ خَبِيۡثَةٍ كَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِيۡثَةٍ ۨاجۡتُثَّتۡ مِنۡ فَوۡقِ الۡاَرۡضِ مَا لَهَا مِنۡ قَرَارٍ‏(26)*

*_But an evil word is like an evil tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth; it has no stability.(26)_*

اور ناپاک بات کی مثال ناپاک درخت کی سی ہے (نہ جڑ مستحکم نہ شاخیں بلند) زمین کے اوپر ہی سے اکھیڑ کر پھینک دیا جائے گا اس کو ذرا بھی قرار (وثبات) نہیں.(26)

The Ayah describes the disbelief of the disbeliever and is compared with evil tree and all that stems from it.‼️ The fruit of which is unpleasant to eat and has an unpleasant taste. *This refers to the colocynth and similar plants.* _This tree is not firm and it has no roots to hold it steady, and it does not produce any good fruit; rather if there is any fruit, it is foul and evil. *It is a type of tree that does not have strong roots.* It is a tree that sits on the ground and only grows on the surface of the earth. If the tree is like that, it really has no strength. When a strong wind blows, it can be uprooted easily. When it is lying on the surface of the ground it is easy for it to be contaminated with soil dirt. Such is the creed of the infidels who easily change because they are disturbed by the impurities of nature. It’s easy to pick up bad habits and morals from the outside world. *This is how the word of disbelief and sin is; it is not rooted in the heart in any beneficial way and it does not bear any fruit but evil words and evil deeds which cause harm to the individual and are of no benefit to him, so no righteous deed ascends from him to Allah Azzawajal and he does not benefit himself or anyone else*._

*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that *Evil word (Kalimah khabitha) is the opposite of pure word whether it be polytheistic, atheistic, or talk of disbelief.*‼️ _It may be applied to everything that is unreal and wrong but here it stands for any false creed that one might adopt as a basis of his system of life, irrespective of whether it be atheism or heresy or disbelief or shirk or idol worship or any other ism that has not been brought by a Messenger._ It is a useless kalimah, which deprives man of righteous acts, it provides nothing but distress and disappointment in the Hereafter.

–Therefore the believers do not need to worry about the growth and power of infidels. Because falsehood will be destroyed and truth will remain eternal.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us clarity in our belief of Tauheed and save us from falling into evil thoughts, words and action. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen_*
