The Aya says:
The firm grounding is not that you direct your faces towards the east and the west. But, the firm grounding is who makes (self and others) safe in the GOD and the remaining day (day of judgement) and the angels and the book and the prophets and made come the money, depsite love (of it), to the near (relatives or otherwise) and the orphans and the ones withour maneuverability out of bad situations, and the son of the road (the stranger in the land) and the asking (out of need) and in the (freeing of) those whose necks are controlled. And (those) made stand upright the prayer and made come the Fruition (physically and spiritually through charity) and the ones that fulfill their promises if they echanged promise, and the patient in (face of ) hardship and harm and the time of the hardness (fighting and other causes). Those are the ones that were truthful and those are the ones that guard through conscious.

My personal note:
The firm grounding is the act that GOD looks at as an act of charity and obeisance to HIM. It includes all the above including spending the money to free slaves from slavery.

Those whose necks are controlled are people who are controlled in any form of slavery whether clear or not.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Albirra: the dependable implementation/the obeisance/the firm grounding
Note: this is a word that is difficult to translate. In concrete the root B-R-R means land/firm ground as opposed to sea. In abstract it gives different meanings as in the safe thing to do, the dependable thing to do and the obeisance to orders. This is because land does all that to man as opposed to the sea that is less dependable. ALBIRRA would be the firm grounding in it’s abstract meaning.
