It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.

But what plea have they that Allah should not punish them, when they keep out (men) from the sacred Mosque - and they are not its guardians? No men can be its guardians except the righteous; but most of them do not understand.

The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised!- beneath it flow rivers: perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein: such is the end of the Righteous; and the end of Unbelievers in the Fire.

Say: "Is that best, or the eternal garden, promised to the righteous? for them, that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment).

And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it - such are the men who do right.

(Here is) a Parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell for ever in the Fire, and be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)?

你们把自己的脸转向东方和西方，都不是正义。正义是信真主，信末日，信天神，信天经，信先知，并将所爱的财产施济亲戚、孤儿、贫民、旅客、乞丐和赎取奴隶，并谨守拜功，完纳天课，履行约言，忍受穷困、患难和战争。这等人，确是忠贞的；这等人，确是敬畏的。

他们阻止别人入禁寺的时候，真主怎能不惩治他们呢？他们不是禁寺的保护者，禁寺的保护者只能是敬畏的人，但他们大半不知道。

已应许敬畏者的乐园，其情状是这样的：那乐园下临诸河，其中的果实是永恒的，其中的荫影也是永恒的。这是敬畏者的果报；不信道者的果报是火狱。

你说：“这是更好的呢？还是应许敬畏者永居其中的乐园更好呢？它是他们所有的报酬和归宿，

传达实言和承认实言的，这些人确是敬畏的。

敬畏的人们所蒙应许的乐园，其情状是这样的：其中有水河，水质不腐；有乳河，乳味不变；有酒河，饮者称快；有蜜河，蜜质纯洁；他们在乐园中，有各种水果，可以享受；还有从他们的主发出的赦宥。永居乐园者，难道与那永居火狱，常饮沸水，肠寸寸断的人是一样的吗？
