LESSON OF THE DAY 206

Ayahs of the Day:
He (Allah) will say: "Enter in the company of the peoples who passed away before you--men and Jinns--into the Fire." Everytime a new People enters, it curses its sister (nation) until, when they have caught up with one another, the last of them will say to the first: "Our Lord, these (people) have misled us, so give them double torment from the Fire!" He will say: "Each shall have double, eventhough you do not realize it." The first of them will tell the last: "What advantage have you over us? Taste torment because of what you have earned." [7: 38,39]

Hadith of the Day:
You should perform the late-night prayer for verily it was the custom of the pious people before you. Certainly, the late-night prayer is an act that brings one closer to Allah, keeps one away from sins, expiates for evil deeds and repels disease from the body. [Tirmidhi]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Consider it near the day when this world will vanish and all that will remain will be the world to come. [Hasan al Basri]

Guidance of the Day:
Beware of dissimulation, for it is a crime. This is to remain silent for fear of losing a position, money, or any other benefit the source of which is the person committing the reprehensible act or any other depraved person.

Anyone who has true vigilance for God, reliance upon Him, and has acquired the attribute of mercy towards His servants, cannot prevent himself from removing every evil that he sees except when prevented from doing so by means which he cannot overcome. [The Book of Guidance]

Food for Thought:
To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness. Opportunities are usually disguised as hardwork, so most people don't recognize them. Work is a necessity for man.
