Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Basic virtue is not just to turn faces to the East and
the West, but true righteousness is that one must believe in
Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Book and the
Prophets; and out of love for Allah, to give treasured wealth
to relatives and to the orphans and the needy and the
traveller, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and
to keep the prayer established and to pay the charity; and
those who fulfil their obligations when they make an
agreement; and the patient during times of calamity, in
hardships and during holy war; it is they who have proved true
to their word; it is they who are the pious.
