LESSON OF THE DAY 1172

Ayahs of the Day:
So be conscious of God as much as you can, and listen and obey and contribute, for your own good. And those safeguarded from the avarice of their selves, they are the ones who thrive. If you advance God a loan, God will multiply it for you, and forgive you; for God is most appreciative, most clement, Knower of the invisible and the evident, the almighty, epitome of wisdom and justice. [64: 16,17,18]

Hadith of the Day:
Beware of wrong doing, for wrong doing becomes manifold darknesses on the Day of Judgment. [Muslim & Ahmad]

Wise of the Day:
Keep to silence, bear with the annoyance of those who show ignorance against you, and forgive those who wrong you. [Muhammad ibn al Siddiq Ghumari]

Guidance of the Day:
You must scrupulously avoid prohibited and suspect things. Scrupulousness is the pillar of religion and it is the pivot emphasized by the practicing scholars. Know that those who acquire prohibited and suspect things are seldom granted success in performing good deeds, and when they appear to be doing so, these are inevitably inwardly tarnished with hidden things which spoil them, such as self-admiration and ostentation.

In any case, the works of those who subsist on illicit (resources) are rejected, for God is Good and accepts only that which is good. The explanation of this is that acts can only be performed by using the body, and the body can only move by energy obtained from food. If that food is vile the energy it produces and the movements which result from it also will be vile. [Al-Haddad, The Book of Assistance]

Food of the Day:
You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversities. Building a relationship takes work. It is an ordeal and struggle because two people are giving birth to this new entity, and labor pains hurt. Build your relationships out of love and hold them together with a sense of humor.
