An-Nur 24:56

<h2>The Command to pray, give the Zakah and obey the Messenger ﷺ; the inability of the Disbelievers to escape, and the ultimate Destiny</h2><p>Allah commands His believing servants to establish prayer, which means worshipping Allah Alone with no partner or associate; to pay the Zakah, which is an act of kindness towards His poor and weak creatures; and by doing so to obey the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, i.e., to do as he commands them and to avoid what he forbids them, so that Allah will have mercy on them for that. No doubt, whoever does that, Allah will have mercy on him, as Allah says in another Ayah:</p><p>أُوْلَـئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ</p><p>(Allah will have His mercy on them) 9:71</p><p>لاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ</p><p>(Consider not) means, `do not think, O Muhammad,' that:</p><p>الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ</p><p>(the disbelievers) meaning, those who opposed and denied you,</p><p>مُعْجِزِينَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ</p><p>(can escape in the land.) means, that they can flee from Allah. No, Allah is able to deal with them and He will punish them most severely for that. Allah says:</p><p>وَمَأْوَاهُمُ</p><p>(Their abode) meaning, in the Hereafter,</p><p>النَّارُ وَلَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ</p><p>(shall be the Fire -- and worst indeed is that destination.) means, how terrible the consequences will be for the disbelievers, how evil a place to stay …

Establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey the messenger, that haply ye may find mercy.

So establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and obey the Messenger; that ye may receive mercy.

And perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) that you may receive mercy (from Allah).

Pray regularly, and give regular charity, and obey the Messenger, so that you may receive mercy.
