Ayahs of the Day:
Not equal are those Believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah has granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah has granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in faith) Allah has promised good: but those who strive and fight He has distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward. Ranks specially bestowed by Him and Forgiveness and Mercy. For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [4: 95, 96]

Hadith of the Day:
The world is the prison for the believer and the paradise for the disbeliever. [Muslim]
Wise Quote of the Day:
Live in this life as if you will live in it for ever and live for the life to come as though you will die tomorrow. (i.e. Never delay the works for the life to come) [Amr ibn al Aas]
Guidance of the Day:
Excellent behavior and comportment are the doorkeepers to the science of spiritual purification. One must have courtesy (Adab) with regard to God, behave properly with respect to His presence--if he or she wishes to purify the heart.
Two requisite qualities are associated with courtesy: shame (haya) and humbleness (dhul).The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated, "Every religion has a quality that is the characteristic of that religion. And the characteristic of my religion is haya", an internal sense of shame, which includes bashfulness and modesty.
When a person acknowledges and realizes that God is fully aware of all that one does, says or thinks, shame is elevated to a higher plane, to the unseen world from which there is no cover. In fact, one feels a sense of shame even before the angels. So while Muslims comprise a shame based culture, this notion transcends shame before one's family----whether one's elders or parents--and admits a mechanism that is not subject to the changing norms of human cultures. [Purification of the Heart]
Food for Thought:
Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.
