130. "Righteousness does not consist in whether you face towards the East
or the West. The righteous man is he who believes in God and the Last Day, in the angels and the Book and the prophets; who, though he loves it dearly, gives away his wealth to kinfolk, to orphans, to the helpless, to the traveller in need and to beggars, and for the redemption of captives; who attends to his prayers and renders the alms levy; who is true to his promises and steadfast in trial and adversity and in times of war. Such are the true believers; such are the God fearing." Sura 2: 176

"Indeed, those that surrender themselves to God and do good works shall be rewarded by their lord: they shall have nothing to fear or to regret." Sura 2: 111

This translation says "God" instead of Allah, so I don't know how they feel about that. Some fundies claim that Allah is an old moon god, but the standard claim of The Prophet is that Allah is the same as Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus. The one, we, in the west, usually call just 'God'.
