true piety does not consist in turning your faces towards the east or the west but truly pious is he who believes in god and the last day and the angels and revelation and the prophets and spends his substance however much he himself may cherish it upon his near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for the freeing of human beings from bondage and is constant in prayer and renders the purifying dues and they who keep their promises whenever they promise and are patient in misfortune and hardship and in time of peril it is they that have proved themselves true and it is they they who are conscious of god.
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
