LESSON OF THE DAY 367

Ayahs of the Day:
A Book, whose signs are confirmed, then explained, from One who is most wise and aware, that you not worship but God, from whom I am a warner and a herald of good news. [11: 1,2]

Hadith of the Day:
The best thing in Islam is feeding the poor and offering salutation to whom you know and whom you do not know. [Bukhari & Muslim]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Kill your ego, so you may truely live. [Ahmad Hazria]

Guidance of the Day:
As for the attribute of anger, its good lies in its suppression and expression being according to the dictates of wisdom. Likewise, the good and uprightness and passion lies in its being under the indication of wisdom; that is, the indications of the intellect and Sacred Law.

Know, then, that those whom laziness has overcome find it difficult to carry out spiritual struggle, discipline, purify the self, and refine their character. They wrongly believe that because natures do not undergo change, it is not possible to change character traits. If this were the case, then counsels, admonitions, and discipline would have been of no use. How can it be impossible to change the behavior of humans, when it is evidently obvious that it is possible to change the behavior of animals such as eagles, dogs, and horses by training? [Sunni Path]

Food for Thought:
My interest is in the future (Akhira) because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.
