۞ وَاتلُ عَلَيهِم نَبَأَ ابنَي آدَمَ بِالحَقِّ إِذ قَرَّبا قُربانًا فَتُقُبِّلَ مِن أَحَدِهِما وَلَم يُتَقَبَّل مِنَ الآخَرِ قالَ لَأَقتُلَنَّكَ ۖ قالَ إِنَّما يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ مِنَ المُتَّقينَ

Bijan Moeinian

Now recite the true story of the two sons of Adam. They made offerings to please God. The offering of one was accepted the offering of the other one was rejected. The latter said: “I will kill you.” The other replied: “[It is not my fault that] God accepts only the offerings of the pious ones.”
