LESSON OF THE DAY 170

Ayah of the Day:
Those whom Allah wills to guide--He opens their breast to Islam; Those whom He wills to leave straying--He makes their breasts close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies; thus does Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe. [6: 125]

Hadith of the Day:
And no one guards his ablution except a (true) believer. [Ahmad]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Whoever is frequent in remembering death is content with but a little of this world, and whoever counts his speech from his actions speaks little except in that which benefits him. [ Omar bin Abdul Aziz]

Guidance of the Day:
A person of good conduct, to whom God the Exalted gives wealth and affluence, will be thankful and appreciative of His bounty. He will use it in obedience, spend it in goodly ways, and help the near and the far. He will receive God's pleasure and love, and be reinforced with more affluence and ease. People will praise him for his good works. and pray for an increase in affluence and ease for him.

On the other hand, an ill-behaved corrupt person who has money and affluence will be constantly engaged in accumulating and keeping his wealth avariciously to himself; he will be lacking in scruples and show extreme greed and similar terrible attributes; he will encounter God's wrath and displeasure; people will censure him for abstaining from good works and for lacking loyalty, justice, and other wholesome traits. [Knowledge and Wisdom]

Food for Thought:
Success is that old ABC--ability,breaks, and courage. Pray that success does not come any faster than you are able to endure it.
