LESSON OF THE DAY 17

Ayahs of the Day
Allah will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity, for He loves not creatures ungrateful and wicked. Those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. [2: 276,277].

Hadith of the Day

All the children of Adam err, and the best of those who err are the oft repenting. [Tirmidhi].

Wise Quote of the Day

The outward appearance of an angry person is ugly enough, yet his inner appearance is even uglier. [Al Shabrawi]

Guidance of the Day

(States & responses cont.)

As for obedience, one must recognize that obedience is a blessing from God. What God demands from obedient people is simply acknowledging that their obedience is a gift from God.

When it comes to disobedience, the response is repenting to God, seeking His forgiveness, pardon and mercy, feeling remorse for the past, and having the resolve never to sink into disobedience again.

What comes to a person in his or her life, however difficult it may be, perhaps will help a person move closer to God when the response is right. [Purification of the heart].

O'Allah help us respond in the most appropriate manner, ameen.
