To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely. — Jorge Luis Borges · 1946True piety is this:
to believe in God, and the Last Day,
the angels, the Book, and the Prophets,
to give of one's substance, however cherished,

the needy, the traveler, beggars,
and to ransom the slave,
to perform the prayer, to pay the alms. — Muhammad · 632Islam1 quote
