A---安拉至高无上说:{虔诚(Al-Birr,即正义、虔敬,以及对安拉的一切服从行为等)并非你们面向东方或西方(礼拜);虔诚乃是这样的人:他信仰安拉、末日、天使、天经和众先知,为了爱财,把财富施予亲属、孤儿、贫民、旅客、乞讨者和赎取奴隶,坚持拜功(完成拜功),缴纳天课,在订约时履行约言,在贫困、疾病和战时保持坚忍。这些人是诚实的人,他们是敬畏者(Al-Muttaqun)}。(黄牛章,177节)

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)

据艾布·胡莱赖（愿安拉喜悦他）传述：安拉的使者ﷺ说："信仰有七十多个或六十多个分支，其中最优越的是宣称除安拉之外没有应受崇拜的主，最卑微的是清除道路上有害之物；而羞耻心也是信仰的一个分支。"（布哈里与穆斯林辑录）

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) says: "Faith has over seventy branches or over sixty branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is the, removal of what is injurious from the path: and modesty is the branch of faith.” (Bukhari & Muslim)
