Righteousness is not that you turn your faces
toward the east or the west, but [true]
righteousness is [in] one who believes in
Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and
the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love
for it, to relat...ives, orphans, the needy, the
traveler, those who ask [for help], and for
freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer
and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their
promise when they promise; and [those who]
are patient in poverty and hardship and
during battle. Those are the ones who have
been true, and it is those who are the
righteous. (Quran, 2:177)
