Certainly Allah had shown to His Messenger
the vision with truth: you shall most certainly
enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah pleases, in

and (others) having their hair cut, you shall not

He brought about a near victory before that.

It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East

Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the
prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of
kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the
beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up
prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise
when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction
and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true (to
themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil).

It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East
and the West, but righteousness is this that one should believe in
Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the
prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of
kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the
beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up
prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise
when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction
and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true (to
themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil).

language. They used to compose
poetry in Arabic & competitions were
held for the best pieces of poetry.

the vision with truth: you shall most certainly
enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah pleases, in

He brought about a near victory before that.

It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East
and the West, but righteousness is this that one should believe in
Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the
prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of
kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the
beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up
prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise
when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction

Certainly Allah had shown to His Messenger
the vision with truth: you shall most certainly
enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah pleases, in

and (others) having their hair cut, you shall not
fear, but He knows what you do not know, so
He brought about a near victory before that.

It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East

Allah and the last day and the angels and the Book and the
prophets, and give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of
kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and the
beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up
prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise
when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction
and in time of conflicts-- these are they who are true (to
themselves) and these are they who guard (against evil).
