LESSON OF THE DAY 7

Ayah of the Day
O' you who believe! Spend out of the bounties We have provided for you, before the Day comes when no bargaining will avail, nor frienship nor intercession. Those who reject faith are the wrongdoers. [2: 254]

Hadith of the Day
Faith wears out in the heart of anyone of you, just as clothes wear out, so ask Allah to renew the faith in your heart. [Tabrani]

Wise Quote of the Day
Give priority to the Hereafter over this world, because you will then gain both of them together. If you give this world priority over the Hereafter, you will then lose both, as your punishment for having preoccupied yourself with something you were not put incharge of.
[Shk. Abdul Qadir Jilani]

Guidance of the Day
Enviers develop a mindset that makes it impossible for them to admit they were wrong. The person enslaving himself to his whims leads only to moral descent in this life, as a consequence, perdition in the Hereafter.

The remedy is to do the opposite of one's temptations. Being beneficient to the person against whom one feels envy often makes that person incline toward's the envier. In general good people are inclined to love those who show good to others. [Purification of the heart]
