177 It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteousness is this that one should believe in Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are {rue (to themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil).
177 Sio wema kuwa mnaelekeza nyuso zenu upande wa mashariki na magharibi. Bali wema ni wa anaye muamini Mwenyezi Mungu na Siku ya Mwisho na Malaika na Kitabu na Manabii, na anawapa mali, kwa kupenda kwake, jamaa na mayatima na masikini na wasafiri, na waombao, na katika ugombozi, na akawa anashika Sala, na akatoa Zaka, na wanao timiza ahadi yao wanapo ahidi, na wanao vumilia katika shida na dhara na wakati wa vita; hao ndio walio sadikisha, na hao ndio wajilindao.
