Establish Salah (prayers); give Zakah (charity); and bow down with those who bow down in worship.[43]
Remember, when We took a covenant (firm commitment) from the children of Israel: "You shall worship none but Allah; be good to your parents, relatives, and orphans and destitute, speak fair to the people, establish 'Salah', and pay 'Zakah.'" But you broke the covenant, except a few of you, and you paid no heed.[83]
Establish Salah (Prayers) and pay Zakah (obligatory charity), and whatever good you send ahead of you to the Hereafter for yourselves, you shall find it with Allah; surely, Allah is watching all your actions.[110]
Righteousness is not whether you turn your face towards East or West; but righteousness is to believe in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Books and the Prophets, to spend wealth, in spite of love for it, on relatives, orphans, helpless, needy travelers, those who ask for and on the redemption of captives; to establish Salah (prayers), to pay Zakah (charity), to fulfill promises when made, to be steadfast in poverty, hardship and at the time of war. Those are the ones who are truthful and those are the ones who are the pious.[177]
Whatever you spend in charity or whatever vow you make, surely, Allah knows it. The wrongdoers shall have no helpers.[270]To give charity in public is good, but to give to the poor in private is better and will remove from you some of your sins. Allah is aware of your actions.[271]O Prophet, you are not responsible for their guidance, it is Allah Who guides whom He pleases. Whatever wealth you spend in charity, it is to your own advantage; provided you give to seek the pleasure of Allah. Whatever wealth you spend for the sake of Allah, will be paid back to you in full, and you will not be wronged.[272]Charity is for those needy people who are engaged so much in the cause of Allah that they cannot move about in the land to earn their livelihood: the ignorant think that they are wealthy on account of their modest behavior. You can recognize them by their look because they do not make insistent demands on people. Whatever you spend on them, surely, Allah knows it.[273]Those who spend their wealth in charity by night and day, secretly and openly, they will have their reward from their Rabb. They shall have nothing to fear or to grieve.[274]
Those who believe and do good deeds, establish Salah (prayers), and give Zakah (charity), will have their reward with their Rabb. They will have nothing to fear or to grieve.[277]
Have you not seen those who were told to restrain their hands from fighting, establish Salah (prayers) and pay Zakah (obligatory charity). Now, when at length, they are commanded to fight, lo! A group of them fear people as they should have feared Allah, or even more than that, and say: "Our Rabb! Why have You ordered us to fight? Could you delay its implementation for a while?" Tell them: "The enjoyment of this worldly life is short, life of the hereafter is much better for those who fear Allah, and rest assured that you will not be wronged equal to the fiber of a date-stone.[77]
However, those among them who are well-grounded in knowledge and those who truly believe in what has been revealed to you, O Muhammad, and what was revealed to other Prophets before you, establish Salah (prayer), pay Zakah (obligatory charity), and believe in Allah and the Last Day, those are the ones who will soon be given a mighty reward.[162]
Allah did in fact make a covenant with the Children of Israel and appointed twelve chieftains from among them and said: "I am with you; if you establish Salah (prayers), pay Zakah, believe in My Rasools, support them and give a generous loan to Allah (spend in charity), I will certainly forgive you your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow. However, if any one of you violates this covenant, after this, he will indeed go astray from the Right Way."[12]
Your real protecting friends are Allah, His Rasool, and the fellow believers - the ones who establish Salah (prayer), pay Zakah (obligatory charity) and bow down humbly before Allah.[55]
O Allah ordain for us what is good in this life and in the Here after, surely, we have turned to You." He replied: "I will inflict My punishment upon whom I please; yet, My mercy encompasses everything. I will ordain special mercy for those who are righteous, who pay Zakah (obligatory charity) and who believe in Our revelations." [156]
The true believers, both men and women, are protectors of one another. They enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil; they establish Salah (prayers), pay Zakah (obligatory Charity), and obey Allah and His Rasool. It is they on whom Allah will have His mercy; surely, Allah is Mighty, Wise.[71]
He has made me blessed wherever I may be. He has commanded me to establish Salah (prayer) and give Zakah (obligatory charity) as long as I live.[31]
He commanded his people to establish Salah and give Zakah, and was the one with whom his Rabb was well pleased.[55]
We made them leaders who guided other people by Our command and We sent them revelations to do good deeds, establish Salah (prayers) and pay Zakah (obligatory charity). Us Alone did they serve.[73]
These are the people who, if We give them authority in the land, will establish Salah (prayers) and pay Zakah (obligatory charity), enjoin justice and forbid evil; the final decision of all affairs is in the hands of Allah.[41]
Strive in the Way of Allah as you ought to strive with sincerity and discipline; He has chosen you and has not laid upon you any hardship in the observance of your faith - the faith of your father Ibrâheem (Abraham). He named you Muslims before in prior scriptures and in this (Qur'an), so that the Rasool (Muhammad) may testify against you and you yourselves may testify against the rest of mankind. Therefore, establish Salah (prayers), pay Zakah (obligatory charity) and hold fast to Allah, Who is your Protector - what an excellent Protector and a splendid Supporter![78]
