LESSON OF THE DAY 419

Ayah of the Day:
Those whom We have given scripture rejoice in what We have revealed to you; but there are those among the factions who disavow a part of it. Say,"I have only been instructed to serve God and nor attribute any partners to God. It is to God that I call, and to God I'll return." [13: 36]

Hadith of the Day:
A Muslim should never dissociate himself from his brother for more than three days. [Bukhari & Muslim]

Wise Quote of the Day:
The best sin is the one which results in sincere repentance and the worst act of worship is the one which leads to conceit. [Ibn Ataillah]

Guidance of the Day:
Like a flower worn on the breast, a beautiful women may receive admiration and respect for some short period. But, if she has not been able to get the seeds of her heart and spirit to blossom, she will eventually fade and, like falling leaves, be trampled underfoot. What a sad ending for those who have not found the path to immortality!

Each woman is a precious, exalted jewel that must not be violated and thrown into a sewer. We hope that fortunate future generations will awake to knowledge, spirituality, and truth that women may once again become "the apple of their eye." Our women are the soundest foundation stone of our national honor and nobility. Their part in forming our long and glorious past is equal to that of the warriors who struggled with our enemies.

Thanks to the good successors she raised and left behind, the home of a spiritually mature woman constantly exudes a scent of joy like an incense burner. A woman whose heart is illuminated with the light of faith and whose mind is enlightened with knowledge and social breeding builds her home anew each day by adding new dimensions of beauty to it. A dissolute woman who does not know her true self destroys existing homes and turns them into graves. [Pearls of Wisdom]

Food for Thought:
Strongly reacting to someone else's low mood behavior is like reacting to bad weather, something that's beyond our power to change.
