ONE AYAT A DAY
قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوْحٰٓى اِلَيَّ اَنَّمَآ اِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌۚ فَمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُوْا لِقَاۤءَ رَبِّهٖ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَّلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهٖٓ اَحَدًا ࣖ
Qul innamā ana basyarum miṡlukum yūḥā ilayya annamā ilāhukum ilāhuw wāḥid(un), faman kāna yarjū liqā'a rabbihī falya‘mal ‘amalan ṣāliḥaw wa lā yusyrik bi‘ibādati rabbihī aḥadā(n).
