Righteousness is not whether you face towards the east or the west. But righteousness is to believe in Allah and the Last Day, in the angels and the Book, and the Prophets, and to give wealth however cherished, to kinsmen, to the orphans, to the needy, to the destitute traveler, and to the beggars, and to ransom the slave; who establish their prayers and pay the obligatory charity; who are true to their promise when they have promised. Who are patient in misfortune and hardship and during the time of courage. Such are the truthful; such are the cautious.
正しく仕えるということは，あなたがたの顔を東または西に向けることではない。つまり正しく仕えるとは，アッラーと最後の（審判の）日，天使たち，諸啓典と預言者たちを信じ，かれを愛するためにその財産を，近親，孤児，貧者，旅路にある者や物乞いや奴隷の解放のために費やし，礼拝の務めを守り，定めの喜捨を行い，約束した時はその約束を果たし，また困苦と逆境と非常時に際しては，よく耐え忍ぶ者。これらこそ真実な者であり，またこれらこそ主を畏れる者である。
