| And stand up for the prayer and give the obligatory tax | وَأَقِيْمُوْا الصَّلَاةَ وَءَاتُوْا الزَّكَاةَ | |
| 2-43 | and bow down along with the ones who submit | وَارْكَعُوْا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِيْنَ |
| And when We took the covenant of the Children of Israel | وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيْثَاقَ بَنِي إِسْرَآئِيْلَ | |
| Worship none but Allah (SWT) and be excellent to parents | لَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ إِلَّا اللهَ وَبِالوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا | |
| and to kindred and to orphans and to the needy and speak excellently to the people | وَذِيْ القُرْبَى وَاليَتَامَى وَالمَسَاكِيْنِ وَقُوْلُوْا لِلنَّاسِ حُسْنًا | |
| and establish the prayer and give the obligatory tax | وَأَقِيْمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَءَاتُوْا الزَّكَاةَ | |
| 2-83 | Then you turned away except a few among you and you were refusing | ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيْلًا مِّنْكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ مُعْرِضُوْنَ |
| Establish the prayer and pay the obligatory tax | وَأَقِيْمُوْا الصَّلَاةَ وَءَاتُوْا الزَّكَاةَ | |
| and whatever you send forth for yourselves of good you will find it with Allah (SWT) | وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوْا لِأَنِفُسِكُمْ مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوْهُ عِنْدَ اللهِ | |
| 2-110 | Certainly Allah (SWT) is All-Seeing of what you do | إِنَّ اللهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرٌ |
| Piety is not that you turn your faces towards east and west | لَيْسَ البِرَّ أَنْ تُوَلُّوْا وُجُوْهَكُمْ قِبَلَ المَشْرِقِ وَالمَغْرِبِ | |
| But piety is one who believes in Allah (SWT) and the Last Day and the Angels | وَلَاكِنَّ البِرَّ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِاللهِ وَاليَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَالمَلَآئِكَةِ | |
| and the Book and the Prophets and gives his wealth in spite of his love of it | وَالكِتَابِ وَالنَّبِيِّنَ وَءَاتِي المَالَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ | |
| to his relatives and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer | ذَوِى القُرْبَى وَاليَتَامَى وَالمَسَاكِيْنَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيْلِ | |
| and to one’s who asks and in freeing the necks and who establish the prayer and give the tax | وَالسَّآئِلِيْنَ وَفِى الرِّقَابِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَءَاتَى الزَّكَاةَ | |
| and who fulfil their covenant when they make it | وَالمُوْفُوْنَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَاهَدُوْا | |
| and the ones who are patient in suffering and hardship and times of stress | وَالصَّابِرِيْنَ فِي البَأْسَآءِ وَالضَّرَّآءِ وَحِيْنَ البَأْسِ | |
| 2-177 | Those are who are true and those, they are Pious | أُوْلَآئِكَ الَّذِيْنَ صَدَقُوْا وَأُوْلَآئِكَ هُمُ المُتَّقُوْنَ |
| indeed, those who believed and did righteous deeds and established the prayer | إِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ | |
| and gave the obligatory tax, for them, their reward is with their Lord | وَءَاتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ | |
| 2-277 | and no fear on them nor shall they grieve | وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُوْنَ |
| Did you not see to those, it was said to them, “Restrain (withhold) your hands | أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِيْنَ قِيْلَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ | |
| and establish (stand up) prayer and give the obligatory tax?” | وَأَقِيْمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَءَاتُوا الزَّكَاةَ | |
| then when the fighting was ordained on them | فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ القِتَالُ | |
| behold (suddenly) a group among them fear men (people) like the fear of Allah (SWT) or greater, fear | إِذَا فَرِيْقٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَخْشَوْنَ النَّاسَ كَخَشْيَةِ اللهِ أَوْ أَشَدَّ خَشْيَةً | |
| and they said, “Our Lord! Why You write (prescribe-ordain) for us the fighting? | وَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا لِمَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْنَا القِتَالَ | |
| Why not You delay for us to a near term” | لَوْلَآ أَخَّرْتَنَآ إِلَى أَجَلٍ قَرِيْبٍ | |
| Say, “Enjoyment of the world is little and the hereafter is better for who fears | قُلْ مَتَاعُ الدُّنْيَا قَلِيْلٌ وَالآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنِ اتَّقَى | |
| 4-77 | and not you will be wronged a hair on a date seed” | وَلَا تُظْلَمُوْنَ فَتِيْلًا |
| but the ones who are firm among them in the knowledge and the believers, believe | لَّاكِنِ الرَّاسِخُوْنَ فِي العِلْمِ مِنْهُمْ وَالمُؤْمِنُوْنَ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ | |
| in what was sent down to you and what was sent down from before you and they establish the prayer | بِمَآ أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَالمُقِيْمِيْنَ الصَّلَوةَ | |
| and the ones who give the obligatory tax and the ones who believe in Allah (SWT) and the last day | وَالمُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكَوةَ وَالمُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللهِ وَاليَوْمِ الآخِرِ | |
| 4-162 | those, soon We will give them a great reward | أُوْلَآئِكَ سَنُؤْتِيْهِمْ أَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا |

| 98-5 | and to establish the prayer and to give the charity and that is the correct religion | وَيُقِيْمُوْا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوْا الزَّكَاةَ وَذَالِكَ دِيْنُ القَيِّمَةِ |
