LESSON OF THE DAY 207

Ayahs of the Day:
To those who reject Our Signs and treat them with arrogance, no opening will there be of the gates of heaven, nor will they enter the Garden, until the camel can pass through the eye of the needle: such is Our reward for those in sin. For them there is Hell, as a couch (below) and folds and folds of covering above: such is Our requital of those who do wrong. [7: 40,41]

Hadith of the Day:
The prayer is the best matter. Whoever can increase (his prayers) should do so. [Al-Tabraani]

Wise Quote of the Day:
One who cautions you is as one who brings you good news. [Ali radi Allah anhu]

Guidance of the Day:
Beware of spying, which is seeking to know the private affairs of other Muslims and their hidden sins. The Prophet (may blessings and peace be upon him) has said: 'The one who seeks out the secrets of his brother Muslim will have God seeking out his secrets until He exposes him, even should he be in the depth of his house.

Know that a concealed sin harms only its doer, but when it becomes public and is not stopped its harm becomes general.

When sins and reprehensible things become obscenely in evidence where you live, and you despair of truth being accepted, then isolate yourself, for in this lies safety; or emigrate to another place, which action is better. For when chastisement falls on a place it includes both the wicked and the good; to a believer who was neglectful in supporting God's religion it is an expiation and mercy, but for others it is a chastisement and an affliction. And God knows best. [The Book of Assistance]

Food for Thought:
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. work is the true elixir of life. The busiest man is the happiest man. It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction. Nobody can be successful unless he loves his work.
