LESSON OF THE DAY 156

Ayahs of the Day:
Such was Our argument which We furnished Abraham with against his folk: We raise anyone We wish to in rank. Your Lord is Wise, Aware. We gave him Isaac and Jacob: all (three) We guided; And before him We guided Noah, and among his progeny, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses. and Aaron: Thus do We reward those who do good. [6: 83,84]

Hadith of the Day:
Whoever is killed defending his wealth is a martyr. Whoever is killed defending his family or his religion is a martyr. [Abu Dawood]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Know that death does not pounce at a specific time, situation, or age, but it is certain to pounce. Therefore, preparing for it has priority over preparing for this world. [Imam Ghazali]

Guidance of the Day:
If you feel that your soul is leaning toward rebellion or heading for sin, then use the whip of fear to rebuke it. Remind it of that with which God has threatened those who disobey Him: humiliation, calamity, debasement and vengeance, expulsion and deprivation, dejection and loss.

Beware of falling into error of those who strayed and belittled the garden and the Fire! Magnify what God and His Messenger has magnified and act only for the sake of God, for He is your Lord and you are His slave. Ask Him to let you enter His Garden and ask His protection from His Fire by His grace and mercy.

Food for Thought:
Champions keep trying until they get it right. Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is. Failure can be accepted, but not trying cannot be accepted.
