"Serve God, and do not associate any partners with God. And be good to your parents, relatives, orphans, the needy, close neighbors and distant neighbors, the companion by your side and the traveler on the road, and those in your legitimate custody. For God does not love any who are arrogant and vain." (Al-Qur’an 4:36)
