Surah Ibrahim – Ayah 49 & 50

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

*_Today’s Thought for the day is from Surah Ibrahim Ayat 49 & 50_*

*وَتَرَى الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَ يَوۡمَئِذٍ مُّقَرَّنِيۡنَ فِى الۡاَصۡفَادِ‌ۚ‏.(49)*

*سَرَابِيۡلُهُمۡ مِّنۡ قَطِرَانٍ وَّتَغۡشٰى وُجُوۡهَهُمُ النَّارُۙ‏.(50)*

*_And you will see the evildoers that day bound together in shackles,(49)_*

*_Their garments of pitch and fire enveloping their faces,(50)_*

اور اس دن تم گنہگاروں کو دیکھو گے کہ زنجیروں میں جکڑے ہوئے ہیں.(49)

ان کے کرتے گندھک کے ہوں گے اور ان کے مونہوں کو آگ لپیٹ رہی ہوگی.(50)

The Ayat show us a scene of the humiliating suffering which stands in contrast to the scheming and tyranny of those arrogant disbelievers.‼️ *The evil-doers are thus chained, each two together along with their devil’s whom they followed in similarity to their evil deeds with chains of fire according to their ranks and will be led away to their punishment in the most humiliating, horrible and terrifying manner.* Their humiliation is again indicative of Allah Azzawajal’s might. In addition to their being chained together, they wear special clothes made for the inhabitants of hell and it is has a pungent smell, which is made of a type of tar that burns easily so that their bodies become more and more engulfed in fire. The noblest part of their bodies that is the face will be surrounded by fire and will be burnt along with other parts of the body. As Allah Azzawajal says
*_On the Day they will be dragged into the Fire on their faces, ˹they will be told,˺ “Taste the touch of Hell!”(Surah Qamar 54:48)_*

*_Act of the Day is:_* to realise and imagine the clothes which are worn by those sinners in the world are usually beautiful clothes, that arouse a sense of arrogance and proud, but on the Day of Judgment it will be transformed into a form of punishment for them a they are made to wear clothes which are highly inflammable.

—To understand and ponder over the way the Qur’an describes the Day of Judgment so beautifully that it is as if we are invited to witness it directly right now. The goal is to remind us so that we don’t fall into it and take measures to avoid it.

*_May Allah Subhanahu wa taa’la strengthen our Imaan and protect us from the fire of jahannam. Aa’meen Ya’Rabbul Aalameen._*
