It Is Not Righteousness That Ye Turn Your Face Towards the East Or the West, but Righteousness

<p>“It is not righteousness that ye turn your face towards the east or the west, but righteousness is in him who believeth in God and the Last day, and the Angels, and the Scripture, and the Prophets, and who giveth wealth for the love of God to his kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy.”</p><p>The Koran, Islam</p><p>“Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.”</p><p>The Torah, Judaism</p><p>“Our Lord brings comfort to the weary and sorrow-laden; he restores peace to those who are broken down under the burden of life. He gives courage to the weak when they would fain give up self-reliance and hope. You who suffer from the tribulations of life, you who have to struggle and endure, you who yearn for a life of truth, rejoice at the glad tidings! There is balm for the wounded, and there is bread for the hungry.”</p><p>Tripitaka, Buddhism</p><p>“Every person must submit to the supreme authorities. There is no authority but by an act of God, and the existing authorities are instituted by him; consequently anyone who rebels against authority is resisting a divine institution, and those who resist have themselves to thank for the punishment they will receive.”</p><p>New Testament, Christianity </p><p>“The heaven and earth contain thee not, together, in thy wrathful mood. Win us the waters of the sky, and send us kine abundantly. Hear, thou whose ear is quick, my call; take to thee readily my songs [and] let this laud of mine come nearer even than thy friend.”</p><p>Vedas, Hinduism</p>
