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)
