LESSON OF THE DAY 388

Ayahs of the Day:
But your Lord would not destroy a population for one error, if its people would make amends. And your Lord would have made humankind one people, had that been the divine will; but they will not stop disputing. [11: 117,118]

Hadith of the Day:
Being wealthy does not mean having many possessions. Rather, being wealthy means possessing a wealthy soul. [Bukhari & Muslim]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Allah gives wealth to those He loves and to those He does not love, but He gives faith only to those He loves. [ Abdullah ibn Mas'ud]

Guidance of the Day:
Religion means recognizing God and His absolute and transcendental Oneness; acquiring spiritual purity by acting in His way; arranging relationships in His name and according to His commandments, and feeling a profound interest in and love for all creation on His account.

Sooner or later those who do not recognize religion will come to despise such noble values as chastity, patriotism, and love of humanity. Immorality is a disease caused by the absence of religion, and anarchy is a product of the same lack.

Religion and science are two faces of a single truth. Religion guides us to the true path leading to happiness. Science, when understood and used properly, is like a torch that provides us with a light to follow the same path. [Peals of Wisdom]

Food for Thought:
Do atheists, who devote their lives attacking religion, not have some obligation to demonstrate the benefits, if any, and the good consequences, if any of atheism?
