What is Righteousness?

“In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most
Compassionate”.
Quran 2: 177.

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards

east or West(in prayers); but it is righteousness- to

believe in Allah and 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 fulfill 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.
