سُوۡرَةُ البَقَرَة

۞ قَوۡلٌ۬ مَّعۡرُوفٌ۬ وَمَغۡفِرَةٌ خَيۡرٌ۬ مِّن صَدَقَةٍ۬ يَتۡبَعُهَآ أَذً۬ى*!ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِيمٌ۬ (٢٦٣)





In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful




Al-Baqara

A kind word with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Clement. (263)
