LESSON OF THE DAY 361

Ayah of the Day:
Say, "Behold what is in the heavens and on the earth!" But signs and warners are of no avail for those who do not believe. [10: 101]

Hadith of the Day:
The poor will never suffer from starvation or lack of clothes unless the rich neglect their due. [Tabrani]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Let there be no troubled souls to whom you do not offer a hand and about whom you remain unconcerned. [Fethullah Gulen]

Guidance of the Day:
Anger is something both the shariah and the sound intellect regard as generally blameworthy. This is why the Beloved of Allah (may blessings and peace upon him) told the one who sought his counsel, "Don't get angery," repeatedly.

The scholars recommend many measures to deal with anger, including:
Turning to Allah, and seeking refuge in Allah, from Satan. One should remember Allah when angry, for this leads to fear of Allah, which directs him to obey Him and restrain one's anger by returning to proper manners. Allah Most High said, "And remember Allah when you are heedless." (18: 24)

Turn to Allah in supplication, in order to control one's anger. One should turn to Allah with one's heart and tongue, asking Him to rid one of anger, and all other lowly traits. [Sunni Path]

Food for Thought:
Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. Be great in act, as you have been in thought.
