اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
اَعُوْذُبِااللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْم
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Ibrahim Ayah 47_*
*فَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُخۡلِفَ وَعۡدِهٖ رُسُلَهٗؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِيۡزٌ ذُوۡ انْتِقَامٍؕ.(47)*
*_Never think that Allah would fail in His promise to His Messengers. Verily, Allah is Almighty, an Avenger.(47)_*
تو ایسا خیال نہ کرنا کہ خدا نے جو اپنے پیغمبروں سے وعدہ کیا ہے اس کے خلاف کرے گا بےشک خدا زبردست (اور) بدلہ لینے والا ہے.(47)
The address is to the Prophet SAWS and the purpose is to comfort him and his companions that they need not worry about the plotting of the enemies, for Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la will help HIS present messenger in the same way as HE SWT had helped HIS previous messengers in the past. It is not possible that Allah Azzawajal’s promise will not be fulfilled.‼️ *In another way the Ayah also serves a warning to the disbelievers as well that they should not delude themselves because of the delay in their punishment.* They too will meet the same fate as their earlier predecessors have biten the dust.
*_Act of the Day is:_* to understand that Allah Subhanahu is always True to HIS Promise and does not let injustice escape the punishment.‼️ *Those who resort to scheming and devising foul plans will not be spared.* Allah Azzawajal is Mighty, therefore, everybody is under His control. HE SWT is Capable of inflicting punishment, therefore, HE SWT will definitely punish the wrong-doers who oppose HIS messenger and plot against HIS Chosen Deen.
–To understand that as a man takes revenge, he does it along with hatred and instinctive satisfaction. Nevertheless, what Allah Azzawajal does is based on justice and wisdom. The word *“avenge”* is especially suitable here as it gives the meaning that counters both injustice and wicked scheming. A perpetrator of such injustice and wickedness deserves to suffer Allah Azzawajal’s vengeance, which is, from HIS point of view, the exercise of divine justice.
—To always keep in mind that delays in the arrival of Divine promises should not make us become discouraged and doubt the truth of those promises.❗ Allah SWT has given the opportunity to the disbelievers and the oppressors to live in the world with enjoyment for a time based on HIS divine Wisdom. Hence the believers should exercise patience and perseverance in their struggle against disbelief and always hope in a positive way that the help and promise of Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la is Near.
*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la grant us HIS help in staying firm against all forms of tyranny and injustice. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aa’lameen._*
