🙏 Quran Ayah of the Day

“Say, O you who believe! Give of the good things you have earned, and from what We have produced for you from the earth. And do not pick the inferior things to give away, when you yourselves would not accept it except with eyes closed. And know that God is Sufficient and Praiseworthy.”

The Holy Quran · Al-Baqara (The Cow) · 2:267
