That day

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

Today's verse · remembrance

Al-Baqarah 2:152

فَٱذْكُرُونِىٓ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِى وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ

Fathkuroonee athkurkumwashkuroo lee wala takfuroon

So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.

Remembrance is a door that opens from both sides, the more we knock, the more it's held open for us.

Today's hadith · companionship

Jami' at-Tirmidhi 1944

Best companion, best neighbour

خَيْرُ الْأَصْحَابِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ، وَخَيْرُ الْجِيرَانِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِجَارِهِ

Khayru-l-ashabi inda-llahi khayruhum li-sahibih, wa khayru-l-jirani inda-llahi khayruhum li-jarih.

The best of companions in the sight of Allah is the one best to his companion, and the best of neighbours is the one best to his neighbour.

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr.
