Al-Baqarah 2:189 ۞ يسالونك عن الاهلة قل هي مواقيت للناس والحج وليس البر بان تاتوا البيوت من ظهورها ولاكن البر من اتقى واتوا البيوت من ابوابها واتقوا الله لعلكم تفلحون ١٨٩
۞ يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ
عَنِ
ٱلۡأَهِلَّةِۖ
قُلۡ
هِيَ
مَوَٰقِيتُ
لِلنَّاسِ
وَٱلۡحَجِّۗ
وَلَيۡسَ
ٱلۡبِرُّ
بِأَن
تَأۡتُواْ
ٱلۡبُيُوتَ
مِن
ظُهُورِهَا
وَلَٰكِنَّ
ٱلۡبِرَّ
مَنِ
ٱتَّقَىٰۗ
وَأۡتُواْ
ٱلۡبُيُوتَ
مِنۡ
أَبۡوَٰبِهَاۚ
وَٱتَّقُواْ
ٱللَّهَ
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
تُفۡلِحُونَ

People question you concerning the phases of the moon. Say: “They are signs to determine time for the sake of people and for the Pilgrimage.”1 Also tell them: “True righteousness is not that you enter your houses from the back; righteousness lies in fearing Allah. So, enter your houses by their doors, and fear Allah that you might attain true success.”2
