اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
*_Today’s Thought for the day comes from Surah Ibrahim Ayah 44_*
*وَ اَنۡذِرِ النَّاسَ یَوۡمَ یَاۡتِیۡہِمُ الۡعَذَابُ فَیَقُوۡلُ الَّذِیۡنَ ظَلَمُوۡا رَبَّنَاۤ اَخِّرۡنَاۤ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ قَرِیۡبٍ ۙ نُّجِبۡ دَعۡوَتَکَ وَ نَتَّبِعِ الرُّسُلَ ؕ اَوَ لَمۡ تَکُوۡنُوۡۤا اَقۡسَمۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ قَبۡلُ مَا لَکُمۡ مِّنۡ زَوَالٍ(44)*
*_”And (O’ Muhammad SAWS) warn mankind of a Day when the punishment will come to them, then those who did wrong will say, “Our Lord! Give us respite for a short term, we will answer Your call and follow the Messengers”. (It will be said,) “Had you not sworn before, that for you there would be no end?”(44)_*
اے محمد ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ، اس دن سے تم انہیں ڈراؤ جب کہ عذاب انہیں آلے گا ۔ اس وقت یہ ظالم کہیں گے کہ اے ہمارے ربّ ، ہمیں تھوڑی سے مہلت اَور دیدے ، ہم تیری دعوت کو لبّیک کہیں گے اور رسولوں کی پیروی کریں گے ۔ ﴿مگر انہیں صاف جواب دے دیا جائے گا﴾ کہ کیا تم وہی لوگ نہیں ہو جو اس سے پہلے قسمیں کھا کھا کر کہتے تھے کہ ہم پر تو کبھی زوال آنا ہی نہیں ہے؟(44)
_Muhammad SAWS, is asked to fore-warn the mankind of the Day when Allah’s scourge (a whip used as an instrument of punishment), will overtake them: then these wrong-doers will say, “Our Lord! give us a little more respite: we will respond to Thy Message and follow the Messengers.” (But it will be said to them decisively,) *”Are you not the same people who swore before this that you will never meet with a decline.* (Decline from the zenith),_
_*The ungodly are apt to think that their power will remain in the ascendant, on account of some material advantages given them temporarily by Allah Azzawajal, but they are constantly receiving warnings in history and revelation and from the example of others before them.* The warning is perfectly general, and for all time._
*_Act for the Day is:_* _To understand that there is really no word in the English language which can convey the full meaning of the Arabic word *˜Azaab*. It means *extreme pain and extreme discomfort*‼. To a point where it is just not bearable. There is torment and pain to be found in this world. *But the torment that will come on that Day, Allah (swt) describes as the torment. He qualifies it with the definite article. To show that it is not just any torment, but it is THE torment.* Just think then what kind of a torment it must be❓ Just imagine the excruciating pain the people will feel. Let’s inform all around us about the warning of the Day and the horrible plight of the wrongdoers on the Day of Reckoning, *and mend our way of life NOW, while we’re still alive,* as otherwise there is no second chance._
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us ability to turn to HIM in complete submission and save us from the hell fire. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen_*
