Surah An-Nisaa · Ayah 32·Madanī

32

وَلَا مَا بِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مِّمَّا مِّمَّا مِن إِنَّ ﴿٣٢﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And do not wish for that by which Allah has made some of you exceed others. For men is a share of what they have earned, and for women is a share of what they have earned. And ask Allah of his bounty. Indeed Allah is ever, of all things, Knowing.
