Stories from Qurran  
There were two men who were partners and had collected eight thousand Dinars. One of them had a craft and the other did not. The one who had a craft said to the other, `You do not have a craft, so I think I will divide the money with you and leave you.' So he left him. Then the man bought a house, belonging to a king who had died, for the price of one thousand Dinars.

 He called his companion and showed him the house, saying, `What do you think of this house I bought it for one thousand Dinars.' He said, `How beautiful it is.' When he went out he said, `O Allah, this companion of mine has bought this house for one thousand Dinars; I ask You for one of the houses of Paradise and he gave one thousand Dinars in charity.'  
Then as much time passed as Allah willed should pass. The first man married a woman with a dowry of one thousand Dinars, and invited his companion and made food for him. When he came, he said, `I have married this woman with a dowry of one thousand Dinars.' He replied; `How beautiful this is.' And when he left, he said, `O Lord, my companion has married a woman with a dowry of one thousand Dinars; I ask you for a wife from among Al-Hur Al-`Iyn' -- and he gave one thousand Dinars in charity.  
Then as much time passed as Allah willed should pass. Then the first man bought two gardens for two thousand Dinars, then he called his companion and showed them to him. He said, `I have bought these two gardens for two thousand Dinars.' He replied, `How beautiful this is.' When he came out, he said, `O Lord, my companion has bought two gardens for two thousand Dinars; I ask you for two gardens in Paradise' -- and he gave two thousand Dinars in charity. Then the angel came to them and took their souls in death. He took the one who had given his money in charity and put him in a house that he liked.  
There, there was a woman who was so beautiful that the ground shinned under her, then he (the angel) took him to two gardens and gave him other things which are known only to Allah.  
The man said, `This is like a man who has such and such.' The angel said, `That is exactly what it is; this house, these gardens and this wife are all for you.'  
<ul>
<li>The man said, `I had a companion who used to say: Are you among those who believe' It was said to him, `He is in Hell.' He said, `Will you look down' So he looked down and saw him in the midst of Hell. At this, he said:
“By Allah! You have nearly ruined me. Had it not been for the grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth to Hell.'' </li>

There was a garden containing different types of fruits and vegetation.People who cared after the garden vowed between themselves during the night that they would pluck the fruit of the  
 garden 
 
 
 in the morning so that poor and the beggars would not know what they were doing. In this way they would be able to keep its fruit for themselves and not give any of it in charity. 
Therefore, Allah broke their vow. As a punishment there passed over it a Ta'if from Lord while they were asleep. It was afflicted with some heavenly destruction. 
By the morning it became like As-Sarim. "Like the dark night.'' 
<div style="text-align: right;">
Ibn `Abbas </div>
"Like the crop when it is harvested withered and dry.'' 
<div style="text-align: right;">
Ath-Thawri and As-Suddi </div>
when it was early morning time they called each other so that they could go together to pick the harvest or cut its fruits. 
They wanted to pluck their harvest fruits.' 
So they departed, and they spoke privately about what they were doing so that no one could hear what they were saying. Then Allah, the All-Knower of secrets discussions, explained what they were saying in private. 
They were whispering: "No poor person shall enter upon you into it today.'' some of them said to others, "Do not allow any poor person to enter upon you in the garden today. 
And they went in the morning with Hard meaning, with strength and power.They thought they had power to do what they claimed and what they were desiring. 
But when they arrived at garden and came upon it, and it was in the condition which Allah changed from that luster, brilliance and fruit, to being black, gloomy and void of any benefit. They believed that they had been mistaken in the path they took in walking to it. 
They said, `we have walked down a path other than the one we were seeking to reach it. Then they changed their minds and realized with certainty that it was actually the correct path. 
Then they said, 
Nay! Indeed we are deprived of the fruits `nay, this is it, but we have no portion and no share of harvest.' 
Then they started blaming each other for what they had resolved to do, preventing the poor people from receiving their right of the harvested fruit. Thus, their response to each other was only to confess their sin. 
These people were from Yemen.They were from a village that was called Darawan which was six miles from San`a' . Their father used to handle the garden in a good way. Whatever he reaped from it he would put it back into the garden as it needed, and he would save some of it as food for his dependants for the year, and he would give away the excess in charity. Then, when he died, and his children inherited the garden they said, `Verily, our father was foolish for giving some of this garden's harvest to the poor. If we prevent them from it, then we will have more.' So when they made up their minds to do this they were punished . Allah took away all of what they possessed of wealth . Nothing remained for them.'' 
It was the punishment of whoever opposes the command of Allah. 
to them. But they met him with denial, rejection and opposition.Then Allah gave an example of the people of garden who were also disbelievers like Quraysh. And mentioned their punishment in"

Qualities of pious people

<h2>
Qualities of pious people  </h2>
Allah first commanded the muslims to face Bayt Al-Maqdis, and then to face the Ka`bah during the prayer. This change was difficult for some Muslims. Then Allah sent revelation which clarified the wisdom behind this command, that obedience to Allah, adhering to His commands, facing wherever He commands facing, and implementing whatever He legislates, that is the objective. This is Birr, Taqwa and complete faith. Facing the east or the west does not necessitate righteousness or obedience.  
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9LZBDG3vV3uynt7dBsP6ZCHh5G7rPA-1IBT8l2C3dEM2HXolhTWvmdjxPry5itM7Sjs9hnw-qAbHa4Q-RMGIEdLiKAbqF4p0i9mghb5XIkSifPi9ho50DpFwRg3-Sdtzurl4Gy5L6yMc/s1600/pious.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9LZBDG3vV3uynt7dBsP6ZCHh5G7rPA-1IBT8l2C3dEM2HXolhTWvmdjxPry5itM7Sjs9hnw-qAbHa4Q-RMGIEdLiKAbqF4p0i9mghb5XIkSifPi9ho50DpFwRg3-Sdtzurl4Gy5L6yMc/s400/pious.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
 
It is not Birr that muslims turn their faces towards east and or west; but Birr is the one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, the Prophets and gives his wealth, in spite of love for it, to the orphans, and to the poor, and to the wayfarer, and to those who ask, and to set servants free, performs salah and gives the Zakah, and who fulfill their covenant when they make it, and who are patient in extreme poverty and ailment and at the time of fighting during the battles. Such are the people of the truth and they are the pious. 
It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is the piety from you that reaches Him. 
Allah is the only God worthy of worship, and believing in the angels the emissaries between Allah and His Messengers. 
Qurran mentions all types of righteousness, and the way to happiness in this life and after death. From the first Prophet Hazrat Adam (A.S) to the Final Prophet,Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH), may Allah's peace and blessings be upon them all. 
Those who pray on time and give the prayer its due right; the bowing, prostration, and the necessary attention and humbleness required by Allah. 
Allah said 
Those who fulfill the covenant of Allah and break not the Mithaq bond, treaty, covenant. 
<div style="text-align: right;">

The opposite of this characteristic is hypocrisy.  
The signs of a hypocrite are three: if he speaks, he lies; if he promises, he breaks his promise; and if he is entrusted, he breaches the trust.  
Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said 
“If he speaks, he lies; if he vows, he breaks his vow; and if he disputes, he is lewd.”  
<h3>
Patience</h3>
 
The pious people are patient .It is a form of praise. Because of the importance of patience in these circumstances, and the suffering and difficulties that accompany them. It is He Whom help is sought from, and upon Him we rely. 
whoever acquires these qualities, these are truthful in their faith. This is because they have achieved faith in the heart and realized it in deed and upon the tongue. So they are the truthful, and they are pious. because they avoided the prohibitions and performed the acts of obedience.  
<h3>
Charity </h3>
They should give their wealth, in spite of love for it, refers to those who give money away while desiring it and loving it. The best charity is when you give it away while still healthy and thrifty, hoping to get rich and fearing poverty. 
They give food, inspite of their love for it, to the Miskin the poor and to the orphan. But they always say 
 
<h3>
Kindness to the relatives</h3>
  
Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said 
“Charity given to the poor is a charity, while the Sadaqah given to the relatives is both Sadaqah and Silah nurturing relations, for they are the most deserving of you and your kindness and charity. 
Allah has commanded kindness to the relatives in many places in the Qur'an.  
 
<h3>
Kindness to Orphans </h3>
  
The orphans are children who have none to look after them, having lost their fathers while they are still young, weak and unable to find their own sustenance since they have not reached the age of work .  
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Kindness to Miskin</h3>
  
The Miskin is the person who does not have enough food, clothing, or he has no dwelling. So the Miskin should be granted the provisions to sustain him enough so that he can acquire his needs.  
Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) said 
“The Miskin is not the person who roams around, and whose need is met by one or two dates or one or two bites. Rather, the Miskin is he who does not have what is sufficient, and to whom the people do not pay attention and, thus, do not give him from the charity.  
 
<h3>
Kindness to Wayfarer</h3>
  
wayfarer is the needy traveler who runs out of money and should, thus, be granted whatever amount that helps him to go back to his land. Such is the case with whoever intends to go on a permissible journey, he is given what he needs for his journey and back. 
The guests are included in this category 
and to those who ask refers to those 
who beg people and are thus given a part of the Zakah and general charity.  
 
<h3>
To set Servants free</h3>
 
These are the servants who seek to free themselves, but cannot find enough money to buy their freedom.
