Surah al-Nisa, Verse 135:
Sulus calligraphy reads:
In the Name of Allah, Most Beneficent and Merciful
Nesih calligraphy reads:
O believers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah is best to ensure their interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate ˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then ˹know that˺ Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do.
