Sunday, November 17, 2024

الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ، وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي صَدْرِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ

Transliteration

Al-birru husnu-l-khuluq, wa-l-ithmu ma haka fi sadrika wa karihta an yattali'a 'alayhi-n-nas.

Translation

Righteousness is good character. Sin is what weighs in your chest and you would hate for people to know about.
