The Best Speech
وَمَنۡ أَحۡسَنُ قَوۡلࣰا مِّمَّن دَعَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحࣰا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ ٣٣
And who is better in speech than him who prayeth unto his Lord and doeth right, and saith: Lo! I am of those who are muslims (surrender unto Him).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah, does righteousness and says: “I am of the Muslims”?
