መልካም ሥራ ፊቶቻችሁን ወደ ምሥራቅና ምዕራብ አቅጣጫ ማዞር አይደለም ፡ ፡ ግን መልካም ሥራ በአላህና በመጨረሻው ቀን ፣ በመላእክትም ፣ በመጻሕፍትም ፣ በነቢያትም ፣ ያመነ ሰው ገንዘብንም ከመውደዱ ጋር ለዝምድና ባለቤቶችና ለየቲሞች ለምስኪኖችም ፣ ለመንገደኞችም ፣ ለለማኞችም ፣ ለጫንቃዎችም ( ማስለቀቅ ) የሰጠ ሰውና ሶላትንም ደንቡን ጠብቆ የሰገደ ፣ ዘካንም የሰጠ ፣ ቃል ኪዳንም በገቡ ጊዜ በኪዳናቸው የሞሉ ( ሰዎች ሥራ ) ነው ፡ ፡ በችግር በበሽታና በጦር ጊዜም ታጋሾችን ( እናወድሳለን ) ፡ ፡ እነዚህ እነዚያ እውነትን የያዙ ናቸው ፡ ፡ እነዚያም ተጠንቃቂዎቹ እነርሱ ናቸው ፡ ፡
It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West , but righteousness is this that one should believe in Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets , and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for ( the emancipation of ) the captives , and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate ; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise , and the patient in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true ( to themselves ) and these are they who guard ( against evil ) .
