LESSON OF THE DAY 159

Ayahs of the Day:
And this is a Book which has been sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it; that you may warn the Mother of the Towns and anyone around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their Prayers. [6: 92]

Hadith of the Day:
A believer never has his fill of good deeds until he ends up in Paradise. [Tirmidhi]

Wise Quote of the Day:
When love of this world enters the heart, fear of the Hereafter exits from it. Beware of worldly distractions, for no servant opens a door of this world without several doors of works for the Hereafter shut before him. [Al Hasan al Basri]

Guidance of the Day:
The provision is divided and allotted by Divine decree. Some servants are given large share, some small. This is the wisdom of God. If, O believer, you are one whose share is small, have patience and be content. Be pleased with what God has allotted you. If you are one of those who've received a large share, take what you need and spend the rest in ways of goodness and benevolence.

Beware of long hopes, for they sway you toward the love of this world and make it difficult for you to persevere in obedience. Be intent on worship or devote yourself to the path of the Hereafter. From the realization of the nearness of death and brevity of times comes all good. Seek this, may God grant you and us success, Ameen!

Food for Thought:
Society is composed of two great classes, those who have more dinners than appetite and those who have more appetite than dinners.
