ولقد اخذ الله ميثاق بني اسرائيل وبعثنا منهم اثني عشر نقيبا وقال الله اني معكم لئن اقمتم الصلاة واتيتم الزكاة وامنتم برسلي وعزرتموهم واقرضتم الله قرضا حسنا لاكفرن عنكم سيئاتكم ولادخلنكم جنات تجري من تحتها الانهار فمن كفر بعد ذلك منكم فقد ضل سواء السبيل

God did aforetime Take a Covenant from The Children of Israel, And We appointed twelve Captains among them. And God said: "I am With you: if ye (but) Establish regular Prayers, Practise regular Charity, Believe in My apostles, Honour and assist them, And loan to God A beautiful loan, Verily I will wipe out From you your evils, And admit you to Gardens With rivers flowing beneath; But if any of you, after this, Resisteth faith, he hath truly Wandered from the path Of rectitude."
