Allah said to them: "I am with you; if you are steadfast in your prayers, pay the poor-rate, believe in My messengers19, support them with reverence, and lend to Allah a goodly loan20, I will certainly remove your misdeeds, and admit you into gardens under which rivers flow. But whoever denies (the Truth) among you after that, he has indeed strayed from the right Path.
