Surah Aal-i-Imraan · Ayah 14·Madanī

14

مِنَ مِنَ ذَٰلِكَ ﴿١٤﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return.
