10. Quran verse and the related Ahadith:

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة

بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِٱلرَّحِيمِ

  

فَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ هُوَ مَوْلَىٰكُمْ ۖ فَنِعْمَ ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ وَنِعْمَ ٱلنَّصِيرُ

So establish prayer and give zakāh and hold fast to Allāh. He is your protector; and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper. (22:78)                                                                  

This ayath is the last ayath of Surathul Hajj. It was reported from `Uqbah bin `Amir (RA) that the Prophet (SAW) said: ‘Surat Al-Hajj has been blessed with two Sajdahs, so whoever does not prostrate them should not read them’.[ Jami` at-Tirmidhi 578]

Allah says, `O Ummah of Islam, Allah has selected you and chosen you over all other nations, and has favored you and blessed you and honored you with the noblest of Messengers and the noblest of Laws.'

Allahuthala has not laid upon you in religion any hardship. He has not given you more than you can bear and He has not obliged you to do anything that will cause you difficulty except that He has created for you a way out. So fear Allah, in the way He deserves. The Salah, which is the most important pillar of Islam after the two testimonies of faith, is obligatory, four Rak`ahs when one is settled, which are shortened to two Rak`ah when one is traveling. According to some Imams, only one Rak`ahs is obligatory at times of fear, as was recorded in the Hadith. A person may pray while walking or riding, facing the Qiblah or otherwise. When praying optional prayers while traveling, one may face the Qiblah or not. A person is not obliged to stand during the prayer if he is sick; the sick person may pray sitting down, and if he is not able to do that then he may pray lying on his side. And there are other exemptions and dispensations which may apply to the obligatory prayers and other duties. So the Prophet said: “I have been sent with the easy Hanifi way. And he said to Mu`adh (RA) and Abu Musa (RA) when he sent them as governors to Yemen: “Give good news and do not repel them. Make things easy for the people and do not make the things difficult for them’

Zakath is a form of beneficence towards Allah's creatures, whereby He has enjoined upon the rich to give a little of their wealth to the poor each year, to help the weak and needy. Zakāth expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed for it1 and for bringing hearts together [for Islām] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allāh and for the [stranded] traveler - an obligation [imposed] by Allāh [9:60]

Seek the help and support of Allah and put your trust in Him, and get strength from Him. He is your Protector and your Helper, He is the One Who will cause you to prevail against your enemies.
