Verses 1–1 of 1

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity By reminders of your generosity Or by injury,—like those Who spend their substance To be seen of men, But believe neither In God nor in the Last Day. They are in Parable like a hard, Barren rock, on which Is a little soil: on it Falls heavy rain, Which leaves it (Just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing With aught they have earned. And God guideth not Those who reject faith.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:264
