If A laser diode from a cd/dvd-r comes in contact with a magnet, is the laser diode ruined?

I took the laser diode out of my cd/dvd-r to attach the laser to a power source and make a laser. But when I went to take the laser out, it came in contact with a magnet. Does this mean that the laser diode won't work anymore?
