[1]Know that righteousness (birr) is not turning your face east or west.
True righteousness is: believing in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels,
the Books, and the Prophets; giving wealth despite loving it to
relatives, orphans, the poor, the wayfarer, beggars, and for freeing
captives; establishing prayer and giving zakah; fulfilling covenants;
being patient in poverty, illness, and battle. These are the truthful,
these are the muttaqun. (Qur'an 2:177 — https://quran.com/2:177)
[M]You will never attain birr until you spend from what you love. (Qur'an 3:92 — https://quran.com/3:92)
[M]Cooperate in righteousness and piety; do not cooperate in sin and
transgression. (Qur'an 5:2 — https://quran.com/5:2)
[1]Know that neither meat nor blood reaches Allah; what reaches Him is
taqwa from you. (Qur'an 22:37 — https://quran.com/22:37)
[1]Practice righteousness in all spheres — belief, charity, worship,
ethics, patience. It is a comprehensive concept. (Qur'an 2:177 — https://quran.com/2:177)
