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

So enter your homes through their ˹proper˺ doors, and be mindful of Allah so you may be successful.
