And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and bow down with those who bow down.Do ye enjoin right conduct on the people, and forget to practice it yourselves, and yet ye study the Scripture? Will ye not understand?Nay, seek Allah's help with patient perseverance and prayer: It is indeed hard, except to those who bring a lowly spirit,-

And remember We took a covenant from the Children of Israel (to this effect): Worship none but Allah; treat with kindness your parents and kindred, and orphans and those in need; speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and pay the poor-rate. Then did ye turn back, except a few among you, and ye backslide (even now).

البقرة -109آية - 2سورة - سورة110

Many of the followers of the Book wish that they could turn you back into unbelievers after your embracing the faith, out of envy from themselves, (even) after the truth has become manifest to them; but pardon and forgive, so that Allah should bring about His command; surely Allah has power over all things.And keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and whatever good you send before for yourselves, you shall find it with Allah; surely Allah sees what you do.

البقرة 177آية - 2سورة - سورة

It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards east or West; but it is righteousness- to believe in Allah and the Last Day, and the Angels, and the Book, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be keep up prayer, pay the poor-rate; to fulfill the contracts which ye have made; and to be firm and patient, in suffering and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the Allah-fearing.

النساء 77آية - 4سورة - سورة

Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; but when fighting is prescribed for them, lo! a party of them fear men as they ought to have feared Allah, or even with a greater fear, and say: Our Lord! why have You ordained fighting for us? If only You would give us respite yet a while! Say (unto them, O Muhammad): The comfort of this world is scant; the Hereafter will be better for him who is heedful; Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!

المائدة 12آية - 5سورة - سورة

Allah made a covenant of old with the Children of Israel and We raised among them twelve chieftains, and Allah said: Lo! I am with you. If ye keep up prayer and pay the poor-due, and believe in My Messengers and support them, and lend unto Allah a kindly loan, surely I shall remit your sins, and surely I shall bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow. Whoso among you disbelieves after this he has truly wandered from the path of rectitude

المائدة -55آية - 5سورة - سورة56

Your guardian can be only Allah; and His Messenger and those who believe, who keep up prayers and pay the poor-due, while they bow down humbly in worship.And whoever takes Allah and His Messenger and those who believe for a guardian, then surely the party of Allah are they that shall be triumphant.

Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

They have purchased with the revelations of Allah a little gain, so they debar men from His way. Lo! evil is it that they do.And they observe toward a believer neither pact nor honor. These are they who are transgressors.But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.

التوبة 18-17آية - 9سورة - سورة

It is not for the idolaters to tend Allah's sanctuaries, bearing witness against themselves of disbelief. As for such, their works are vain and in the Fire they will abide.He only shall tend Allah's sanctuaries who believes in Allah and the Last Day and keeps up prayer and pays the poor-due and fears none but save Allah. For such is it possible that they can be of the rightly guided.

التوبة 72-71آية - 9سورة - سورة

And the believers, men and women, are guardians one of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they keep up prayer and they pay the poor-due, and they obey Allah and His messenger. As for these, Allah will have mercy on them. Lo! Allah is Mighty, Wise.Allah promises to the believers, men and women, Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide - blessed dwellings in Gardens of Eden. And - greater (far)! - acceptance from Allah. That is the supreme triumph.

And strive for Allah with the Endeavour which is His right. He has chosen you and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship; the faith of your father Abraham is yours.

So establish worship, pay the poor-due, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protecting friend. A blessed Patron and a blessed Helper!
