it is no virtue. that you turn your faces towards the east or the west but virtue is that one should sincerely believe in allah and the last day and the angels and the book and the prophets and out of his love spend of ones choice wealth for relatives and orphans for the needy and the wayfarer for beggars and for the ransom of slaves and establish the salat and pay the zakat. and the virtuous are those who keep their pledges when they make them and show fortitude in hardships and adversity and in the struggle between the truth and falsehood such are the truthful people and such are the pious.
ليس البر أن تولوا وجوهكم قبل المشرق والمغرب ولكن البر من آمن بالله واليوم الآخر والملائكة والكتاب والنبيين وآتى المال على حبه ذوي القربى واليتامى والمساكين وابن السبيل والسائلين وفي الرقاب وأقام الصلاة وآتى الزكاة والموفون بعهدهم إذا عاهدوا والصابرين في البأساء والضراء وحين البأس أولئك الذين صدقوا وأولئك هم المتقون
