LESSON OF THE DAY 390

Ayahs of the Day:
Say to those who do not believe, "Do what you can; for we are at work. And wait, for we are waiting." The secrets of the heavens and the earth belongs to God, to whom everything is returned. So worship God, and trust in God; your Lord is not unaware of what you do. [11: 121,122,123]

Hadith of the Day:
Two qualities will never be joined in a believer: greed and bad manners. [Bukhari]

Wise Quote of the Day:
He does not refuse sustenance to the one who speaks ill of Him. How then could He refuse sustenance to the one whose soul is overflowing with love for Him? {Rabi'a Basaria]

Guidance of the Day:
Religion is an inexhaustible and blessed source that lays the foundation of true civilization. It is through religion that we are elevated so high in spirit and feelings that we make contact with metaphysical worlds, where we are "fed' to full satisfaction with all kinds of beauty, virtue, and goodness.

Virtues are to be sought in the practice of religion. It rarely happens that an atheist has laudable virtues, or that a religious person has none. Men and women attain true humanity by means of religion, which distinguishes them from animals. Religion is the way established by God, while atheism is the way of Satan. This is why the struggle between religion and atheism has existed since the time of Adam and will continue until the Last Day. [Pearls of Wisdom]

Food for Thought:

Deal with the faults of others as gently as you deal with your own. Under everyone's hard-shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved
