LESSON OF THE DAY 398

Ayah of the Day:
And God it is who spread out the earth, and placed on it mountains and rivers, and made mated pairs of all fruits; and causes the night to cover the day. Therein are signs for people who reflect. [13; 3]

Hadith of the Day:
Beware of anger, for it is a live coal on the heart of the descendants of Adam. [Tirmidhi]

Wise Quote of the Day:
What anxiety is there for the one who is detached from the world, and what need for excuses is there for the one who remains silent? [Mansur Ammar]

Guidance of the Day:

Love is a natural and essential aspect of our being. But when it is transformed into "true love"--love of the Creator--it acquires its true nature and color, and later becomes "pure" pleasure at the threshold of union. One's heart is a receptive pot for Divine manifestations. Your love of the Creator and yearning to return to Him is the clearest sign of your being loved by God.

Love is the most direct and safest way to human perfection. It is difficult to attain the rank of human perfection through ways that do not contain love. Other than the way of "acknowledging one's innate impotence, poverty, and reliance on God's Power and Riches, and one's zeal in His way and thanksgiving," no other way to truth is equal to that of love. Love is a mount, bestowed upon us by God, that carries us toward the Paradise we lost. No one who has ridden this mountain has ever been stranded on this road. [Pearls of Wisdom]

Food for Thought:
For every minute you are angry with someone, you lose sixty seconds of happiness that you can never get back.
