LESSON OF THE DAY 1025

Ayahs of the Day:
Man never tires of asking for good, but if misfortune afflicts him he gives up hope, despairing. Even if We let him taste mercy from Us after the hardships that have afflicted him, he is sure to say, "This is my due, and I don't think the end of time is ever going to occur. And even if I'm returned to my Lord, there will surely be a happy ending for me there. But We will tell the scoffers what they did, and will have them taste a terrible torment. [41: 49,50]

Hadith of the Day:
Someone who strives on behalf of widows and the poor is like someone who fights in the way of Allah, and like someone who continually stands at night in prayer and like someone who continually fasts. [Bukhari & Muslim]

Wise Quote of the Day:
He who is hungry arrives and he who is satiated is cut off. He who remembers (God) is moved to meditate, while he who forgets is himself forgotten. [Shaykh Abu Madyan]

Guidance of the Day:
The will of God is the most wonderful thing that could ever happen to anyone. It is not to be feared, but embraced. If we begin to think about the things in our lives that we were resisting, one by one if we analyze them, we will see that the plan for our evolution was one of great Love and Beauty. In fighting the Will of God, we are really fighting our own best interest.

Life is supposed to go right. Prayers are supposed to be answered and miracles are supposed to happen. The most amazing thing would be if miracles didn't happen. God is real and His love is true. There is no need for things to go wrong. If we are living in the flow of God, things go right. Mishaps occur only when we step out of flow, and healing is natural when we once again find it. [Cohen, The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore]

Food for Thought:
Lord make me a channel of thy peace
That where there is doubt I may bring faith,
That where there is despair I may bring hope,
That where there are shadows I may bring thy light,
That where there is sadness I may bring joy.
