(177) Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.

(272) Not upon you, [O Muhammad], is [responsibility for] their guidance, but Allah guides whom He wills.

(273) [Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allah, unable to move about in the land.

And whatever you spend of good - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.

(30) And O my people, who would protect me from Allah if I drove them away? Then will you not be reminded?
(31) And I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel, nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down that Allah will never grant them any good.
