LESSON OF THE DAY 1257

Ayahs of the Day:
Guidance is up to Us: and the end and the beginning belong to Us: so I warn you of a raging fire where none will roast but the most wretched, those who deny truth and turn away. But the most conscientious will be kept from it; those who give of their wealth to become pure without any favor to be repaid to anyone, only seeking the acceptance of their supreme Lord; and they will be satisfied. [92: 12 to 21]

Hadith of the Day:
In the evening, do not wait for morning, and in the morning, do not wait for evening. Take from your health for your weakness, and from your life for your death. [Bukhari]

Wise Quote of the Day:
Do not think evil of anything that comes from your Muslim brother's tongue -- whenever there is a way to interpret it in a good way. [Omar radi Allah anhu]

Guidance of the Day:
Ask yourself "Why should I be exempt from the rest of the human race?" Life is full of challenges, obstacles, hurdles, setbacks, difficulties, hassles, and problems -- for all of us. No one is exempt. Regardless of what background, race, religion, or sex -- regardless of what kind of parents you had, your birth order, how much money or notoriety you have, all the other specifics of your life -- you will have problems. Case closed.

It's always easier to see your own problems than those of others, and it's certainly true that some problems appear to be far more severe than others, but the truth is, ultimately no one's life is particularly easy, at least not all the time. The old saying is still true, as it will be forever. Circumstances don't make a person, they reveal him or her. [Carlson, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff -- with your family]

Food for Thought:
Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Half effort does not produce half results, it produces no results. Work, continuous work and hard work, is the only way to accomplish results that last. Success is dependent on effort. Striving to success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted.
