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)

We send the Messengers only to give good news and to warn


We send the Messengers only to give good news and to warn: so those who believe and mend (their lives),― upon them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (48)

We hear and we obey


The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and His Messengers "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His Messengers." And they say: "We hear and we obey; (We seek) Thy forgiveness, Our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys." (285)
