That day

One ayah. One hadith. One name. Quiet things, in their place.

Today's verse · tomorrow

Ad-Duhaa 93:4

وَلَلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ

Walal-akhiratu khayrun laka minaal-oola

And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].

The next life is better for you than the former, a line given in the middle of the Prophet's hardest year.

Today's hadith · excellence

Sahih Muslim 1955

Allah has prescribed excellence in everything

إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ

Inna-llaha kataba-l-ihsana 'ala kulli shay'.

Allah has prescribed excellence (ihsan) in everything, so when you slaughter, slaughter well; sharpen your blade and give ease to what you slaughter.

Narrated by Shaddad ibn Aws.
