يسالونك عن الاهلة قل هي مواقيت للناس والحج وليس البر بان تاتوا البيوت من ظهورها ولكن البر من اتقى واتوا البيوت من ابوابها واتقوا الله لعلكم تفلحون

They ask thee Concerning the New Moons. Say: They are but signs To mark fixed periods of time In (the affairs of) men, And for Pilgrimage. It is no virtue if ye enter Your houses from the back: It is virtue if ye fear God. Enter houses Through the proper doors: And fear God: That ye may prosper.
