LESSON OF THE DAY 14

Ayahs of the Day
And whatever you spend in charity or devotion, be sure Allah knows it all. But the wrongdoers have no helpers. If you disclose acts of chatity, even so it is well, but if you conceal them, and make them reach those really in need, that is best for you. It will remove from you some of your (stains of ) evil. And Allah is well acquainted with what you do. [2 : 270, 271]

Hadith of the Day

On the day of Resurrection, nothing will weigh heavier upon the scales than good character. [Abu Dawud & Tirmidhi]

Wise Quote of the Day

Invocations are a barrier between the slave and the hellfire, if the remembrance is contineous and permanent then the barrier is good and solid, if not, it is fragile and torn. [Ibn Ataillah].

Guidance of the Day

Seeking to impress humans is a pathetic exercise, an utter waste of time and life, for humanity is in constant and total need of God. If one wants to be close to power and authority, then do not chase men of position and station. There is absolutely no power and might except with Allah. The cause of so many diseases of the heart can be tracked back to a lack of certainty, an impaired sense of faith and trust in Allah. Seek closeness with God, the Master of the universe, the Creator of all things. [Purification of the heart]
