LESSON OF THE DAY 82

Ayahs of the Day:
How then if We brought from each people a witness, and We brought you as a witness against these people! On that day those who reject Faith and disobey the Messenger will wish that they were level with the ground,but never will they hide a single fact from Allah! [4: 41,42]

Hadith of the Day:
On the Day of Judgment, Allah, the most High, will announce: "Where are those persons who love each other for the sake of My pleasure? This day I will shelter them in the shade provided by Me. Today there is no shade except My shade". [Muslim]

Wise Quote of the Day:
If knowledge had no other merit than the ignorant fear and respect you, this would be good enough reason to seek it, let alone its other merits in this world and the next. [Ibn Hizam]

Guidance of the Day:
Remember God much, it is vital to the cure of each disease of the heart (and society). And know that the Quran is the best of it. This rule excludes those times when other types [of remembrance] have been prescribed. When one recites while reflecting deeply on the meaning of the words, doors of insight open and one's Imaan grows stronger.

Someone who remembers God has a heart that is alive and busy with the best of deeds, for we were created to remember God, and all else we do is in order to establish the conditions that permit this remembrance. There is a hadith that states that whoever remembers his Lord, God remembers him, and whomever God remembers, he is enriched in this world and in the Hereafter and is in need of nothing. [Purification of the Heart]

Food for Thought:
An educated person can figure out how to be useful to others, and in trading time, insight, and service to meet the needs of others, he can learn the material things he needs to sustain a wholesome life, he has the capacity to create new things, new experiences and new ideas.
