LESSON OF THE DAY 225

Ayah of the Day:
And those who do wrong but repent thereafter and (truly) believe----verily your Lord is thereafter Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [7: 153]

Hadith of the Day:
Do not backbite the Muslims, and do not search for their private matters. Whoever searches for their private matters will have Allah follow up his private matters. And whose private matters Allah follows, He will expose him even (if his act were done) in the privacy of his house. [Ahmad & Abu Dawood]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Every sin is the result of a person's putting the desires of his soul above his love for Allah and His Messenger. [Ibn Rajab]

Guidance of the Day:
Renew your repentance frequently, for sins are numerous and a servant is never free, outwardly and inwardly, from a great number of rebellious acts, even if his state is good, behavior upright, and obedience continual. It should suffice you (to Know) that the Messenger of God, may blessings and peace be upon him, infallible and absolutely perfect as he was, repented to God and asked for His forgiveness more than seventy times each day.

Ask for forgiveness repeatedly, night and day, especially the last hours of night. The Prophet has said, may blessings and peace be upon him: 'God will grant the one who perseveres in asking for forgiveness relief from everything that worries him, a way out of every difficulty, and provision from whence he did not expect it.' [The Book of Assistance]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Vision is only a minute aspect of success. Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it. Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.
