It is not piety, that you turn your faces to the east and to west, true piety is this: To believe in God, and the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, and the Prophets, to give one's substance, however cherished, to kinsmen, and orphans, the needy, the travelers, beggars, and to ransom the slave to perform the prayers, to pay the alms, they who fulfill their covenant when they engaged in a covenant and endure with fortitude misfortunes, hardships, and peril; these are they who are true in their faith, these are the truly God fearing. Quran 2:177.
