177. Righteousness is not that you turn your faces towards the East and the West (during prayer), but righteousness is (in the one) who believes in Allāh, the Last Day, the angels, the Book (This Qur'an), the prophets, who gives money for the love of God, to (the poor) relatives, orphans, the destitute, the (stranded) wayfarer56, beggars, for (the emancipation of) captives, who keeps up the prayer, pays the poor-rate, and those (who) fulfills their promise when they promise, and is patient during poverty and ailment and in 'the heat of' clash. These are the ones who have been true, and it is these who are truly the righteous.

56. This also applies to the strangers and foreigners who are left without means whilst travelling, being away from home, and those aliens in a land they belong not to them and live with them.If a stranger or foreigner from other country stays in your land you must not cause him stress and anxiety. The stranger or foreigner that is resident in your land must be unto you as one born among you, and show him affection and mercy and treat him justly.
The prophet Muhammad said:
"Whoever killed an alien resident or a foreigner having a treaty and covenant with the Muslims, shall not smell the smell of Paradise though its smell is perceived from a distance of forty years." In another statement he said: "If anyone wrongs an alien resident or foreigner having covenant with the Muslims, detracts from his rights, treats him unjustly, burdens him with more work than he is able to do, or takes something from him without his consent, I will plead for him (that alien resident or foreigner) on the Day of Resurrection."
