Paving the Way to Enlightened Hearts!
Aayah of the Day
Surah Al- Baqarah: Ayat 26
(2:26) Verily, Allah is not ashamed to set forth a parable even of a mosquito or so much more when it is bigger (or less when it is smaller) than it. And as for those who believe, they know that it is the Truth from their Lord, but as for those who disbelieve, they say: "What did Allah intend by this parable?" By it He misleads many, and many He guides thereby. And He misleads thereby only those who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
Hadith of the Day
Narrated Ibn `Umar (RA): While `Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA) was standing and delivering the sermon on a Friday, one of the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), who was one of the foremost Muhajirs (emigrants), came. `Umar (RA) said to him, "What is the time now?" He replied, "I was busy and could not go back to my house till I heard the Adhan. I did not perform more than the ablution." Thereupon, `Umar (RA) said to him, "Did you perform only the ablution although you know that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) used to order us to take a bath (on Fridays)?
