That day

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

Today's verse · speech

Al-Kahf 18:23

وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَا۟ىْءٍ إِنِّى فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا

Wala taqoolanna lishay-in innee faAAilunthalika ghada

And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"

Do not say of anything, I will surely do that tomorrow, except that you add, In sha Allah, if Allah wills.

Today's hadith · perspective

Sahih al-Bukhari 3841, Sahih Muslim 2256

Everything besides Allah passes

أَصْدَقُ كَلِمَةٍ قَالَهَا الشَّاعِرُ كَلِمَةُ لَبِيدٍ: أَلَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مَا خَلَا اللَّهَ بَاطِلٌ

Asdaqu kalimatin qalaha-sh-sha'iru kalimatu Labid: ala kullu shay'in ma khala-llaha batil.

The truest word a poet ever said is the word of Labid: Indeed, everything besides Allah is perishing.
