Surah Al-Hashr, Ayah 18
May 19, 2025
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow - and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Aware of what you do.
اے ایمان والو! اللہ سے ڈرو اور ہر شخص کو دیکھنا چاہیے کہ اس نے کل کے لیے کیا آگے بھیجا ہے۔ اور اللہ سے ڈرو۔ بے شک اللہ اس سے باخبر ہے جو تم کرتے ہو۔
