Yaxşı əməl üzünüzü məşriqə və məğribə tərəf çevirməyiniz deyildir. Lakin yaxşı əməl sahibləri Allaha, Axirət gününə, mələklərə, kitablara, peyğəmbərlərə iman gətirən, sevdiyi malı qohum-əqrəbaya, yetimlərə, kasıblara, müsafirlərə, dilənənlərə və kölələrin azad edilməsinə sərf edən, namaz qılıb zəkat verən, əhd bağladıqda əhdlərini yerinə yetirən, sıxıntı və xəstəlik üz verdikdə, habelə döyüşdə səbir edən şəxslərdir. Onlar imanlarında doğru olanlardır. Müttəqi olanlar da elə məhz onlardır.

Azerice — V. Memmedeliyev ve Ziya Bünyadov

Yaxşı əməl heç də (ibadət vaxtı) üzünü günçıxana və günbatana tərəf çevirməkdən ibarət deyildir. Yaxşı əməl sahibi əslində Allaha, axirət gününə, mələklərə, kitaba (Allahın nazil etdiyi bütün ilahi kitablara) və peyğəmbərlərə inanan, (Allaha) məhəbbəti yolunda (və ya mal-dövlətini çox sevməsinə baxmayaraq) malını (kasıb) qohum-əqrəbaya, yetimlərə, yoxsullara, (pulu qutarıb yolda qalan) müsafirə (yolçulara), dilənçilərə və qulların azad olunmasına sərf edən, namaz qılıb zəkat verən kimsələr, eləcə də əhd edəndə əhdinə sadiq olanlar, dar ayaqda, çətinlikdə (ehtiyac, yaxud xəstəlik üz verdikdə) və cihad zamanı (məşəqqətlərə) səbr edənlərdir. (İmanlarında, sözlərində və əməllərində) doğru olanlardır. Müttəqi olanlar da onlardır!

Almanca — Al-Azhar

Die wahre Frömmigkeit besteht nicht darin, beim Gebet das Gesicht nach Osten oder Westen zu richten, sondern darin, an Gott, den Jüngsten Tag, die Engel, das Heilige Buch und die Propheten zu glauben, gerne Spenden zu geben, um Verwandten, Waisen, Armen, mittellosen Wanderern und Bettlern zu helfen, Leibeigene freizukaufen, das Gebet zu verrichten, die Zakat-Abgaben zu entrichten, Wort zu halten und in Not, Prüfung und gerechtem Krieg geduldig auszuharren. Das sind die Rechtschaffenen, und das sind die Frommen.

Almanca — Der Edle Quran

Nicht darin besteht die Güte, daß ihr eure Gesichter gegen Osten oder Westen wendet. Güte ist vielmehr, daß man an Allah, den Jüngsten Tag, die Engel, die Bücher und die Propheten glaubt und vom Besitz - obwohl man ihn liebt - der Verwandtschaft, den Waisen, den Armen, dem Sohn des Weges, den Bettlern und für (den Loskauf von) Sklaven hergibt, das Gebet verrichtet und die Abgabe entrichtet; und diejenigen, die ihre Verpflichtung einhalten, wenn sie eine eingegangen sind, und diejenigen, die standhaft bleiben in Not, Leid und in Kriegszeiten, das sind diejenigen, die wahrhaftig sind, und das sind die Gottesfürchtigen.

Almanca — M. A. Rassoul

Es ist keine Frömmigkeit, wenn ihr eure Angesichter in Richtung Osten oder Westen wendet; Frömmigkeit ist vielmehr, daß man an Allah glaubt, den Jüngsten Tag, die Engel, das Buch und die Propheten und vom Besitz obwohl man ihn liebt den Verwandten gibt, den Waisen, den Armen, dem Sohn des Weges, den Bettlern und (für den Freikauf von) Sklaven, daß man das Gebet verrichtet und die Zakah entrichtet. Es sind diejenigen, die ihr Versprechen einhalten, wenn sie es gegeben haben; und diejenigen, die in Elend, Not und in Kriegszeiten geduldig sind; sie sind es, die wahrhaftig und gottesfürchtig sind.

Almanca — Muhammad Zaidan

Das gottgefällige Handeln liegt nicht darin, daß ihr euch mit dem Gesicht in Richtung des Ostens und des Westens wendet, sondern das gottgefällige Handeln ist, daß man den Iman an ALLAH, an den Jüngsten Tag, an die Engel, an die Schrift und an die Propheten verinnerlicht sowie das Vermögen - trotz der Liebe dazu - den Verwandten, den Waisen, den Bedürftigen, dem in Not geratenen Reisenden, den Bittenden und für die Unfreien gibt und das rituelle Gebet ordnungsgemäß verrichtet und die Zakat entrichtet, (dazu gehören) auch die Einhaltenden ihrer Verträge, wenn sie solche abschließen, und die Duldsamen in bitterer Armut, in Krankheit und beim Gewalt-Antun, denn diese sind diejenigen, die wahrhaftig sind. Und diese sind die wirklichen Muttaqi.

Abdel Khalek Himmat

Conformity of life and conduct in divine law for righteous living does not simply mean turning your faces at prayer toward the east or the west, but it entails adherence to principles serving as the basis of Allah’s system of faith and worship. It entails that you believe in Allah and in the Day of Judgement with faithful hearts, that you entertain with profound reverence the belief on ground of Authority in Allah’s, spiritual beings, attendants and Messengers, that you solemnly consent to Allah’s Books revealed to His Prophets and to the Prophets themselves, that you spend of your wealth in benevolence and benefaction on the poor among your kindred, on the orphans, on those in need and on the wayfarer who has no means of transportation, on those who make a request for aid in times of difficulty or distress and on redeeming and setting free servants who are completely divested of freedom and personal rights, that you engage in the act of appropriate worship, that you give zakat for zakat is the vehicle of prayer, that you fulfil the promise when you make one and that you exercise patience when befallen with a misfortune and the distress of warfare against enemies. These are the ones who have characterized themselves with virtuous qualities and stand true in Allah’s honour and these are the ones who entertain the profound reverence dutiful to Him.

Abdul Haleem

Goodness does not consist in turning your face towards East or West. The truly good are those who believe in God and the Last Day, in the angels, the Scripture, and the prophets; who give away some of their wealth, however much they cherish it, to their relatives, to orphans, the needy, travellers and beggars, and to liberate those in bondage; those who keep up the prayer and pay the prescribed alms; who keep pledges whenever they make them; who are steadfast in misfortune, adversity, and times of danger. These are the ones who are true, and it is they who are aware of God.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces Towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice regular charity; to fulfil the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.

Abul A'la Maududi

Aisha Bewley

Goodness does not lie in turning your faces to the East or to the West. Rather, those with true devoutness are those who have iman in Allah and the Last Day, the Angels, the Book and the Prophets, and who, despite their love for it, give away their wealth to their relatives and to orphans and the very poor, and to travellers and beggars and to set slaves free, and who establish salat and pay zakat; those who honour their contracts when they make them, and are steadfast in poverty and illness and in battle. Those are the people who are true. They are the people who have taqwa.

Al-Hilali & Khan

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).

Ali Quli Qarai

Piety is not to turn your faces to the east or the west; rather, piety is [personified by] those who have faith in Allah and the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets, and who give their wealth, for the love of Him, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveller and the beggar, and for [the freeing of] the slaves, and maintain the prayer and give the zakāt, and those who fulfill their covenants, when they pledge themselves, and those who are patient in stress and distress, and in the heat of battle. They are the ones who are true [to their covenant], and it is they who are the Godwary.

Amatul Rahman Omar

It is not the sole virtue that you turn your faces to the east or the west but true virtue is theirs, who believe in Allâh, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and in the Prophets, and who give away their wealth (and substance) out of love for Him, to the near of kin, the orphans, the needy, the wayfarer and to those who ask (in charity) and in ransoming the slaves; and who observe the Prayer, who go on presenting the Zakât (- the purifying alms) and those who always fulfill their pledges and agreements when they have made one, and those who are patiently persevering in adversity and distress and (steadfast) in times of war. It is these who have proved truthful (in their promises and in their faith) and it is these who are strictly guarded against evil.

Arthur John Arberry

It is not piety, that you turn your faces to the East and to the West. True piety is this: to believe in God, and the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the Prophets, to give of one's substance, however cherished, to kinsmen, and orphans, the needy, the traveller, beggars, and to ransom the slave, to perform the prayer, to pay the alms. And they who fulfil their covenant when they have engaged in a covenant, and endure with fortitude misfortune, hardship and peril, these are they who are true in their faith, these are the truly godfearing.

Bijan Moeinian

Turning your faces towards the east or the west [during the prayer] is not [a sign of piety or] a virtue [and does not have any importance with God. ] The virtue is the belief in God, the last day, the existence of the angles, the Book [sent by God] and the prophets [sent by God], sharing wealth with beloved ones, nearest ones, orphans, poor people, stranded travelers and the beggars [in distress], the act of freeing the slaves, worshipping the Lord on regular basis, paying the minimum charity [as imposed by God upon your income], honoring your words and pledges and patience in hardship, affliction of a disaster and in despair. Such are the sincere ones and considered as pious by God.

E. Henry Palmer

Righteousness is not that ye turn your faces towards the east or the west, but righteousness is, one who believes in God, and the last day, and the angels, and the Book, and the prophets, and who gives wealth for His love to kindred, and orphans, and the poor, and the son of the road, beggars, and those in captivity; and who is steadfast in prayer, and gives alms; and those who are sure of their covenant when they make a covenant; and the patient in poverty, and distress, and in time of violence; these are they who are true, and these are those who fear.

Shabbir Ahmed

(One obvious result of sectarianism is their pre-occupation with rituals. This is because each sect leaves the Book aside and makes its own set of dogmas they call religion). No wonder, they forget that) Righteousness and exponential development of personality is not in that you turn your faces to the East and the West. But righteous is he who has conviction in Allah and the Last Day and the Angels and the Book and the Prophets. And he gives his wealth that he loves in reverence of Him, to: Family and relatives, Orphans, Widows, Those left helpless in the society, Those whose hard-earned income fails to meet their basic needs, Those whose running businesses have stalled, The ones who have lost their jobs, Whose life has stalled for any reason, The disabled, The needy wayfarer, son of the street, the homeless, the one who travels to you for assistance, Those who ask for help, and Those whose necks are burdened with any kind of bondage, oppression, crushing debts and extreme hardship of labor. They (the truly righteous) strive to establish the Divine System, and set up the Just Economic Order. They are true to their promises whenever they make a promise. They remain steadfast in physical or emotional distress and in times of peril. It is they that have proved to be practically true, and it is they, they that indeed journey through life in Blissful honor and security. ((2:4), (3:91)).

Such are the people of truth, those who fear Allah.

Fransızca — Muhammad Hamidullah

La bonté pieuse ne consiste pas à tourner vos visages vers le Levant ou le Couchant. Mais la bonté pieuse est de croire en Allah, au Jour dernier, aux Anges, au Livre et aux prophètes, de donner de son bien, quelquʹamour quʹon en ait, aux proches, aux orphelins, aux nécessiteux, aux voyageurs indigents et à ceux qui demandent lʹaide et pour délier les jougs, dʹaccomplir la Salât et dʹacquitter la Zakât. Et ceux qui remplissent leurs engagements lorsquʹils se sont engagés, ceux qui sont endurants dans la misère, la maladie et quand les combats font rage, les voilà les véridiques et les voilà les vrais pieux!

Vroomheid is niet dat jullie je gezichten naar het oosten en het westen wendt, maar vroom is wie gelooft in God, in de laatste dag, in de engelen, in het boek en in de profeten en wie zijn bezit, hoe lief hij dat ook heeft, geeft aan de verwanten, de wezen, de behoeftigen, aan hem die onderweg is, aan de bedelaars en voor (de vrijkoop van) de slaven, en wie de salaat verricht en de zakaat geeft en wie hun verbintenis nakomen, als zij een verbintenis zijn aangegaan en wie volhardend zijn in tegenspoed en rampspoed en ten tijde van strijd. Zij zijn het die oprecht zijn en dat zijn de godvrezenden.

Hollandaca — Salomo Keyzer

De godvruchtigheid bestaat niet daarin, dat gij uw gezicht (bij het gebed) naar het Oosten of het Westen wendt. Godvruchtig is hij die aan God gelooft, aan den jongsten dag en de engelen, en de schrift en de profeten: die van zijn vermogen geeft aan aanverwanten; weezen en armen en de vreemdelingen, en hun die vragen; hij die gevangenen loskoopt, het gebed verricht en aalmoezen geeft; die aangegane verbintenissen nakomt; die geduldig is in tegenspoed, nood en krijgsgevaar; hij is rechtvaardig; hij is godvreezend.

Hollandaca — Siregar

Het is geen vroomheid dat jullie je gezichten naar het Oosten en het Westen wenden, maar vroom is wie gelooft in Allah en het Hiernamaals en de Engelen en de Schrift en de Profeten en die het bezit dat hij liefheeft weggeeft aan de verwanten en de wezen en de behoeftigen en de reiziger (zonder proviand) en de bedelaars en (het gebruikt) voor het vrijkopen van slaven, en die de shalât onderhoudt, de zakât geeft. En die trouw zijn aan hun belofte wanneer zij een belofte hebben gedaan en de geduldigen in tegenspoed, in rampspoed en in oorlogstijd. Zij zijn diegenen die Moettaqôen zijn, en zij zijn het die de godvrezenden zijn.

Rusça — Ebu Adel

Не в том (заключается) благочестие, чтобы вам обращать ваши лица (во время молитвы) в сторону востока и запада, а благочестие – (это одно из деяний того),) кто уверовал в Аллаха [суть не в направлении, а в подчинении Слову Аллаха], и в Последний день [День Суда], и в ангелов, и в Писание [во все ниспосланные Аллахом книги], и в пророков, и давал имущество (как добровольную милостыню), несмотря на любовь (и собственную потребность) к нему, родственникам, и сиротам, и беднякам, и путникам (у которых нет средств продолжать путь), и просящим, и на (освобождение) рабов (и выкупленных), и совершал молитву, и давал обязательную милостыню [закят], – и исполняющие свои договора, когда заключат, и терпеливые в нужде [во время крайней бедности] и беде [болезни] и во время ярости [сильного сражения], – это те, которые были правдивы (с Аллахом и Его рабами), это они – остерегающиеся (наказания Аллаха).

Rusça — Osmanov

Благочестие состоит не в том, чтобы вы обращали ваши лица на восток и запад, но благочестив тот, кто уверовал в Аллаха, в Судный день, в ангелов, Писание, пророков, кто раздавал имущество, хоть оно было ему дорого, близким, сиротам, бедным, путникам и просящим подаяния, жертвовал на освобождение рабов, совершал салат, давал закат; [благочестивы] верные данной ими клятве, терпеливые в беде и в нужде и во время опасности. Это - те, которые правдивы, те, которые богобоязненны.

İsveççe — Knut Bernström

Fromheten består inte i att ni vänder ansiktet mot öster eller väster. Sann fromhet äger den som tror på Gud och den Yttersta dagen och änglarna och uppenbarelsen och profeterna och som ger (av) det han äger - vilket pris han än sätter på detta - till de anhöriga, de faderlösa och de behövande, till vandringsmannen och tiggarna och för att friköpa människor ur fångenskap och slaveri och som förrättar bönen och erlägger allmoseskatten och som håller sina löften och som med tålamod bär lidande och motgång och som håller stånd i farans stund. De har visat att deras tro är sann; de fruktar Gud.
