Al-Hajj 78

وَجَاهِدُوا فِي اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِه۪ۜ هُوَ اجْتَبٰيكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدّ۪ينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍۜ مِلَّةَ اَب۪يكُمْ اِبْرٰه۪يمَۜ هُوَ سَمّٰيكُمُ الْمُسْلِم۪ينَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَف۪ي هٰذَا لِيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ شَه۪يدًا عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا شُهَدَٓاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِۚ فَاَق۪يمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِاللّٰهِۜ هُوَ مَوْلٰيكُمْۚ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰى وَنِعْمَ النَّص۪يرُ ۝٧٨

78Strive in Allah's way as is worthy of Him. He has chosen you and has placed no hardship on you in religion. So follow the belief system of your forefather Abraham. For He named you simply "Muslims" in earlier times and in this Quran, so that the Messenger might be a witness, an example, and a model for you, and you might be witnesses, examples, and models for humankind. So perform the prayer, give zakat, and hold fast to Allah. For Allah is your Patron (Mawla). What an excellent Patron and what an excellent Helper He is!
