Question

Carefully read the passage from the Qur’an here. In a well-structured paragraph, write a summary that describes three main ideas in the passage.

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 conflict—these are they who are true (to themselves), and these are they who guard (against evil).

–Qur’an 2:177

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The summary of the Quranic passage which describes three main ideas is thus:

Righteousness from the passage is having believe in Allah, His messenger (prophet Mohammed S.AW), believe in the last day, the angels and the book. Basically, having believe in the articles of Faith.

Also, a righteous believer gives out of his wealth to his kin, the needy, the wayfarer (people on a journey), the orphans and beggars. He should give out of love to earn the reward.

A righteous person is also patient during the time of distress or affliction. He doesn't go against Allah in trying to find solutions to his problems. He also keeps promises and doesn't betrays people's trust.
