🙏 Quran Ayah of the Day

Because of their breaking their pledge, We cursed them, and made their hearts hard. They twist the words out of their context, and they disregarded some of what they were reminded of. You will always witness deceit from them, except for a few of them. But pardon them, and overlook. God loves the doers of good.”

The Holy Quran · Al-Maaida (The Table) · 5:13
