It is not All-Birr (that reflects the true belief, acts that make men worthy of Paradise) that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but All-Birr is (the quality of) the one who believes in Allah and the Last Day (the later day that one reaches Allah, the day of Guidance, spirit’s returning back to Allah) and the angels and the Book and the Prophets; and gives from his wealth that he loves to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to the needy (old folks who are incapable of working) and to the stranded, and to those who ask and to set slaves (captives) free, keeps up the Prayer, and gives the Zakât (the alms) and who fulfill their covenant when they make it (with Allah and men), and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment and at the time of fighting (during the battles). Those are they who are truthful (veracious) and those are they who are the pious [the owners of piety (takvâ)].
