Verse of the Day

مَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

کوئی مصیبت نازل نہیں ہوتی مگر خدا کے حکم سے۔ اور جو شخص خدا پر ایمان لاتا ہے وہ اس کے دل کو ہدایت دیتا ہے۔ اور خدا ہر چیز سے باخبر ہے

“No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah. And whoever believes in Allah - He will guide his heart. And Allah is Knowing of all things”

Surah At-Taghabun64:11

Hadith of the Day

مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِقَلْبِهِ وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الإِيمَانِ

تم میں سے جو کوئی برائی دیکھے تو اُسے اپنے ہاتھ سے بدل دے؛ اگر طاقت نہ ہو تو زبان سے، اور اگر یہ بھی نہ ہو سکے تو دل سے — اور یہ ایمان کا سب سے کمزور درجہ ہے۔

“It was Marwan who initiated (the practice) of delivering khutbah (address) before the prayer on the 'Id day. A man stood up and said: Prayer should precede khutbah. He (Marwan) remarked, This (practice) has been done away with. Upon this Abu Sa'id remarked: This man has performed (his duty) laid on him. I heard the Messenger of Allah as saying: He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of faith.”
