LESSON OF THE DAY 1106

Ayahs of the Day:
Even the sky We constructed through agencies, while it was We who made the space. And the earth We cover, spreading it richly. And We have made pairs of everything, so that you would think. "So flee to God, from whom I am an open warner to you. And don't set up another deity alongside God, from Whom I am an open warner to you." [51: 47 to 51]

Hadith of the Day:
Do not do evil to those who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness. [Bukhari]

Wise Quote of the Day:
If your love were true, you would have obeyed Him,
Verily, the lover is obedient to the one he loves. [A Poet]

Guidance of the Day:
The only thing that can bring peace to the world are thoughts, feelings, and actions of peace. To think is to create. If we think hatred, hatred shall be manifested in the form of new bullets and bombs. Every thought of anger produces one new physical bullet. When we see an insane arms race, we are seeing the result of our collective consciousness.

If we are to truly change the world, we must give it new thoughts to be manifested------thoughts of the world we would like to see it. We must fill our minds and hearts with ideas and feelings of harmony and celebration. One person quietly sitting for a few minutes a day and meditating or praying for world peace has an effect on the world greater than those who angrily protest and criticize those who make war. Someone who runs down the street cursing those who fight is in effect sending out a set of vibrations that bring about only more war. As it is said, "Don't curse the darkness-----light a candle. [Cohen, The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore]

Food for Thought:
No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow. Death is the only inescapable, unavoidable, sure thing, we were sentenced to die the day we were born. A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at anytime.
