LESSON OF THE DAY 57

Ayahs of the Day:
Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now until He separates what is evil from what is good; nor will He disclose to you the secrets of the unseen. But He chooses of His messengers whom He will, so believe in Allah and His messengers. And if you believe in Allah and guard yourself against evil, yours will be a reward without measure. [3: 179]

Hadith of the Day:
Do not consider even the smallest good deed as insignificant; even meeting your brother with a cheerful face (is a good deed). [Muslim]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today. [Malcolm X]

Guidance of the Day:
When people give up enjoining what is right or even admitting that there are absolute and objective values that are not subject to whims of mankind, then evil spreads. At the end of earthly time, the world will virtually be without witnesses to truth, and truth will itself be scarce. No one will defend it.

One of the signs of end of time is the giving of the world to the disbelievers, with Muslims abandoning Islam and its claim upon Muslims to defend the truth and censure what is wrong. The truth has the power to penetrate the hearts of people, even those whose hearts have a seal. Humanity has a right to have witnesses living among them, those who are willing to defend the truth no matter how unpopular it may be. [Purification of the Heart]

Food for Thought:
When one door closes another door opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
