Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allāh, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakāh; [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.
Righteousness is not turning your faces east or west. It is belief, giving, prayer, and patience under hardship.
A-tadruna mani-l-muflis? Qalu: Al-muflisu fina man la dirhama lahu wa la mata'. Qala: Inna-l-muflisa min ummati man ya'ti yawma-l-qiyamati bi-salatin wa siyamin wa zakah...
Do you know who the bankrupt one is? They said: One who has neither money nor goods. He said: The bankrupt of my Ummah is one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting, and zakat, but he insulted this one, slandered that one, took the money of this one, spilled the blood of that one, and beat this one. So this one is given some of his good deeds, and that one is given some. When his good deeds run out before his debts, their sins are loaded onto him and he is thrown into the Fire.
