LESSON OF THE DAY 146

Ayah of the Day:
It is He who takes your souls by night, and has knowledge of all that you have done by the day; then He revives you in it so a stated period may be fulfilled. In the end to Him will be your return; then He will show you the truth of all you did. [6: 60]

Hadith of the Day:
If two disputants sit in front of you, do not decide the case for one of them until you listen to the other as you listened to the first. [Ahmad, Abu daud]

Wise Quote of the Day:
God will say to the people of Garden: Enter the Garden through My mercy, dwell therein perpetually by your good intentions, and take your shares of it by your works! [Hasan al Basri}

Guidance of the Day:
A Believer should protect himself from the smallest of the sins--let alone the major ones--with more urgency than protecting himself from lethal poison. Should he commit such a sin, he should be more frightened than if he had taken poison, for sins are to the heart what poison is to the body. The heart of a Believer is more precious to him than his body. The Believer has no capital other than protecting and improving his heart.

The body is a target for disease, soon to be destroyed by death. Its death, however, means only that one has to leave this grief and anxiety-laden world. But if the heart is ruined, the Hereafter is ruined. The only one to be rescued from the wrath of God and gain His rewards and win His Pleasure will be the one who comes to Him with a heart that is "whole". [Mutual Reminding--Good Manners]

Food for Thought:
People will wrangle for religion, write for it, fight for it, die for it, anything but live for it. Islam is no longer a journey, it has become a demography.
