LESSON OF THE DAY 404

Ayah of the Day:
For each there is a succession of angels, in front of him and behind him, protecting him by order of God. God does not change the condition of a people until they change their own condition. And when God wants misfortune for a people, there is no averting it; and they have no protection besides God. [13: 11]

Hadith of the Day:
The worst among you are those who carry tales and ruin relations between those who are innocent. [Bukhari]

Wise Quote of the Day:
The biggest fault is to find fault with others when you are like that to. [Ali radi Allah anhu]

Guidance of the Day:
Talking too much is a personality defect stemming from mental and spiritual imbalance. Use precise words that will not confuse the listener's mind, and do not use more words than necessary to convey the intended message. Indeed, using many words may even be harmful, for the words you use, the greater the chance of contradiction, which will confuse the listener even more. This will not benefit the listener; on the contrary, it will work to his or her detriment.

Reasonable people prefer to let those people, whose words might be of more benefit to the audience, speak. If perfected individuals whose minds are saturated with science and whose souls are satisfied with Divine spiritual gifts are present, it is an act of disrespect to allow others to speak. In fact, the silence of such individuals represents a loss to the society.

Speaking little and listening much are virtues and signs of maturity. The desire to make oneself heard at all times is a sign of spiritual imbalance and shamelessness, even if some explain it away as a form of insanity. [Pearls of Wisdom]

Food for Thought:
Woman was made from the rib of man, she was not created from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be stepped upon. She was made from his side to be close to him, from beneath his arm to be protected by him, from near his heart to be loved by him.
