A--- Yüce Allah şöyle buyurur: {Yüzlerinizi doğuya veya batıya çevirmeniz (namazda) iyilik değildir; iyilik, Allah'a, Ahiret gününe, meleklere, kitaba ve peygamberlere iman eden, malını sevmesine rağmen akrabalara, yetimlere, yoksullara, yolda kalmışa, isteyenlere ve esirleri (kölelikten) kurtarmaya veren, namazı kılan, zekâtı veren, söz verdiklerinde sözlerini yerine getiren ve yoksulluk, hastalık ve savaş zamanlarında sabreden kimsenin iyiliğidir. İşte doğru olanlar bunlardır ve takva sahipleri de bunlardır.} (Bakara, 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)
