A--- Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu anasema: {Wema (uchamungu, uadilifu, na kila tendo la utii kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, n.k.) si kwamba mugeuze nyuso zenu upande wa mashariki au magharibi (katika Swala); lakini wema ni (sifa ya) yule anayemwamini Mwenyezi Mungu, Siku ya Mwisho, Malaika, Kitabu na Manabii, na anayetoa mali yake, ingawa anaipenda, kwa jamaa wa karibu, kwa mayatima, kwa Al-Masakin (maskini), kwa msafiri, kwa wanaoomba, na kuwakomboa watumwa; anayesimamisha Swala (Iqamatas-Salat), na kutoa Zakah; na wanaotimiza ahadi yao pale wanapoahidi; na wanaosubiri kwa subira katika umaskini uliokithiri na maradhi (ugonjwa), na wakati wa vita (wakati wa mapigano). Hao ndio watu wa ukweli, nao ndio Al-Muttaqun (wachamungu)}. (Al-Baqarah, 177)

A--- Allah the Almighty says: {It is not Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, and each and every act of obedience to Allah, etc.) that you turn your faces towards east and (or) west (in prayers); but Al-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al-Masakin (the poor), and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As-Salat (Iqamatas-Salat), and gives the Zakah, and who fulfill their covenant when they make it, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment (disease) and at the time of fighting (during the battles). Such are the people of the truth and they are Al-Muttaqun (the pious)}. (Al-Baqarah, 177)
