(Conditions for Staying Within God’s Protection*)
God had taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we raised among them twelve patriarchs. And God said, “I am with you, so long as you observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), give the obligatory charity (Zakat), and believe in My messengers and respect them, and continue to lend God a loan of righteousness. I will then remit your sins, and admit you into gardens with flowing streams. Anyone who disbelieves after this, has indeed strayed off the right path.”
وَلَقَد أَخَذَ اللَّهُ ميثٰقَ بَنى إِسرٰءيلَ وَبَعَثنا مِنهُمُ اثنَى عَشَرَ نَقيبًا وَقالَ اللَّهُ إِنّى مَعَكُم لَئِن أَقَمتُمُ الصَّلوٰةَ وَءاتَيتُمُ الزَّكوٰةَ وَءامَنتُم بِرُسُلى وَعَزَّرتُموهُم وَأَقرَضتُمُ اللَّهَ قَرضًا حَسَنًا لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنكُم سَيِّـٔاتِكُم وَلَأُدخِلَنَّكُم جَنّٰتٍ تَجرى مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهٰرُ فَمَن كَفَرَ بَعدَ ذٰلِكَ مِنكُم فَقَد ضَلَّ سَواءَ السَّبيلِ

*5:12 If you fulfill the requirements stated in this verse, God will let you know that He is with you; you will have no doubt about it. Prominent among God’s signs are mathematical signs for those who understand the Quran’s miracle (Appendix One).
