nd 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 practice 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.
P: It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the
West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and

and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper
worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when

who are true (to themselves) and these are they who guard (against
evil).
