Sura Al-Baqarah from 177 to 181


177. It is not Al- Birr ( piety, righteousness, and each and every act of obedience to Allâh, etc. ) that you turn your faces towards east and ( or ) west ( in prayers ) ; but Al- Birr is ( the quality of ) the one who believes in Allâh, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets [ 1 ] and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the kinsfolk, to the orphans, and to Al- Masâkîn ( the poor ) , and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set slaves free, performs As- Salât ( Iqâmat- as- Salât ) , and gives the Zakât, and who fulfil their covenant when they make it, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment ( disease ) and at the time of fighting ( during the battles ) . Such are the people of the truth and they are Al- Muttaqûn ( the pious - See V.2:2 ) .
178. O you who believe! Al- Qisâs ( the Law of Equality in punishment ) is prescribed for you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother ( or the relatives, etc. ) of the killed against blood- money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood- money to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. So after this whoever transgresses the limits ( i.e. kills the killer after taking the blood- money ) , he shall have a painful torment.
179. And there is ( a saving of ) life for you in Al- Qisâs ( the Law of Equality in punishment ) , O men of understanding, that you may become Al- Muttaqûn ( the pious - See V.2: 2 ) .
180. It is prescribed for you, when death approaches any of you, if he leaves wealth, that he makes a bequest to parents and next of kin, according to reasonable manners. ( This is ) a duty upon Al- Muttaqûn ( the pious - See V.2: 2 ) .
181. Then whoever changes the bequest after hearing it, the sin shall be on those who make the change. Truly, Allâh is All- Hearer, All- Knower.
