Surah Al-Tawbah, Ayah 71
May 15, 2025
وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ
The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong.
اور مومن مرد اور مومن عورتیں ایک دوسرے کے دوست ہیں۔ وہ نیکی کا حکم دیتے ہیں اور برائی سے روکتے ہیں۔
