LESSON OF THE DAY 200

Ayah of the Day:
Say: "My Lord has commanded justice; and that you set your whole selves (to Him) at every time and place of prayer, and call upon Him, making your devotion sincere as in His sight; such as He created you in the beginning, so shall you return. [7: 29]

Hadith of the Day:
Whoever does not thank people, does not thank Allah. [Ahmah & Tirmidhi]

Wise Quote of the Day:
The measure of a man depends on the scope of his resolution, and his sincerity depends on the degree of his chivalric virtues. His courage depends on the degree of honor he has, and his integrity is based on the degree of his sense of shame. [Ali radi Allah anhu]

Guidance of the Day:
Adhere to the good manners of the sunna outwardly and inwardly; make them habitual to you and you will have perfected your following and emulation of the Messenger of Mercy, the Prophet of Guidance. Know that the one who observes the Prophetic good manners in his everyday activities is preserved by God from trespassing into the base attributes and behavior that are outside them, and obtains the worldly benefits that God has set, through His wisdom, within them.

Anyone who would be pleased to become completely free and clean of impurities and human passions should make all his outward and inward motions and times of stillness conform to the Law, and follow the dictates of both Law and reason. Begin everything you do with the Name of God; if you forget the Name at the beginning, say when you remember: "In the Name of God at its beginning and its end." [The Book of Guidance]

Food for Thought:
Wisdom denotes the pursuing of the best ends by the best means. The art of wisdom is the art of knowing what to overlook. It requires wisdom to understand wisdom, music is nothing for the deaf audience.
