Posted by doodlenomics on

Postcard # 1: Surah 49 of the Qur’an (Surah al Hujurat) , Verse 6 : O you who believe! If a Fasiq (liar- evil person) comes to you with any news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful for what you have done. 

I just got done painting a set of twelve postcards* with the English translation of some Ayats of the Qur’an. These were initially part of client work I had recently done and I decided to do a few more as a giveaway on twitter.
