god certainly made a solemn covenant with the children of israel and raised among them twelve elders. god said to them i am with you if you will be steadfast in your prayers pay religious tax believe in my messengers support them with reverence and give a generous loan for the cause of god. we shall expiate your bad deeds and admit you to the gardens wherein streams flow. whichever of you turns to disbelief after this has certainly gone astray .
ولقد أخذ الله ميثاق بني إسرائيل وبعثنا منهم اثني عشر نقيبا وقال الله إني معكم لئن أقمتم الصلاة وآتيتم الزكاة وآمنتم برسلي وعزرتموهم وأقرضتم الله قرضا حسنا لأكفرن عنكم سيئاتكم ولأدخلنكم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار فمن كفر بعد ذلك منكم فقد ضل سواء السبيل
