LESSON OF THE DAY 941

Ayahs of the Day:
You are only a warner; for We sent you with the truth, as a herald and a warner. And there was never a people among whom a warner never passed. [35: 23,24]

Hadith of the Day:
The beauty of Islam shows in the face of one who keeps silent about things he does not know and that do not concern him. [Tirmidhi]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Pondering over the Qur'an, du'a at the time of dawn and abstention from sins is the key for reviving the heart. [Allama Ibn al-Qayyim]

Guidance of the Day:
Tell me what you love and I will tell you who you are. What you fall in love with determines everything. Our desire to love and be loved never rests. Though we may sleep, our desire to love never does. It is as constant as our very breathing-------and as necessary. Our true identity is deeply intertwined with this desire and ability to love.

We cannot live without love. Without love there is no joy, excitement, passion, or satisfaction in life. You cannot live without love for yourself. You cannot live without love for your God. You cannot live without love for your neighbor. You can try, but you will end up bitter and miserable. And the bitterness and misery will kill you in the end. You will appear to be alive, but in truth you will be dying. You cannot live without love. Love or perish; there is no other choice. [Kelly, The Rhythm of Life]

Food for Thought:
What lies before us and what lies beyond us is tiny compared to what lies within us. The more faithfully we listen to the voice within us, the better we will hear what is sounding outside. Only he who listens can speak.
