Righteousness

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards East or West (in prayers);

but it is righteousness ―

to believe in Allah

and the Last Day

and the Angels

and the Book

and the Messengers;

to spend of your substance out of love for Him,

for your kin, for orphans for the needy,

for the wayfarer for those who ask and for the ransom of slaves;

to be steadfast in prayer and practise regular charity;

to fulfil the contracts which ye have made;

and to be firm and patient in pain (or suffering)

and adversity and throughout all periods of panic.

Such are the people of truth the Allah-fearing. (177)

Quran: Chapter Al-Baqara (2), Verse 177.

We have sent down to thee manifest signs (ayat); and none reject them but those who are perverse.

Say: Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel-for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by Allah's will, a confirmation of what went before and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe.― (97)
Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and prophets to Gabriel and Michael-Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject faith. (98) We have sent down to thee manifest signs (ayat); and none reject them but those who are perverse. (99)
Is it not (the case) that every time they make a Covenant some party among them throw it aside? - Nay most of them are faithless. (100)
And when came to them an Messenger from Allah, confirming what was with them, a party of the people of the Book threw away the Book of Allah behind their backs, as if (it had been something) they did not know! (101)

Quran: Chapter Al-Baqara (2), Verses 97-101

while it is the truth confirming what is with them...

And when there came to them (the Jews), a Book (this Qur'ân) from Allâh confirming what is with them [the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], although aforetime they had invoked Allâh (for coming of Muhammad Peace be upon him ) in order to gain victory over those who disbelieved, then when there came to them that which they had recognised, they disbelieved in it. So let the Curse of Allâh be on the disbelievers. (89)

How bad is that for which they have sold their ownselves, that they should disbelieve in that which Allâh has revealed (the Qur'ân), grudging that Allâh should reveal of His Grace unto whom He wills of His slaves. So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers, there is disgracing torment. (90)

And when it is said to them (the Jews), "Believe in what Allâh has sent down," they say, "We believe in what was sent down to us." And they disbelieve in that which came after it, while it is the truth confirming what is with them. Say (O Muhammad Peace be upon him to them): "Why then have you killed the Prophets of Allâh aforetime, if you indeed have been believers?" (91)

Quran: Chapter Al-baqara (2), Verse 89-91

Verily, those who say: "Our Lord is (only) Allâh," and thereafter stand firm on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

And before this was the Scripture of Mûsâ (Moses) as a guide and a mercy. And this is a confirming Book (the Qur’ân) in the Arabic language, to warn those who do wrong, and as glad tidings to the Muhsinûn good-doers. (12)

Verily, those who say: "Our Lord is (only) Allâh," and thereafter stand firm (on the Islâmic Faith of Monotheism) on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (13)

Quran: Chapter Al-Ahqaf (46), Verses 12 & 13.

It is He who hath sent His Messenger with Guidance and Religion of Truth to proclaim it over all religion

It is He who hath sent His Messenger with Guidance and Religion of Truth to proclaim it over all religion, even though the pagans may detest (it). (33)
