They said: "O Shu'aib! Does thy (religion of) prayer command thee that we leave off the worship which our fathers practised, or that we leave off doing what we like with our property? truly, thou art the one that forbeareth with faults and is right-minded!"

Seest thou not that it is Allah Whose praises all beings in the heavens and on earth do celebrate, and the birds (of the air) with wings outspread? Each one knows its own (mode of) prayer and praise. And Allah knows well all that they do.

Of their goods, take alms, that so thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them: And Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth.

O ye who believe! let those whom your right hands possess, and the (children) among you who have not come of age ask your permission (before they come to your presence), on three occasions: before morning prayer; the while ye doff your clothes for the noonday heat; and after the late-night prayer: these are your three times of undress: outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about attending to each other: Thus does Allah make clear the Signs to you: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.

And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it: that thou mayest warn the mother of cities and all around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers.

Those who humble themselves in their prayers;

Those who remain steadfast to their prayer;

And those who guard (the sacredness) of their worship;-

Who are neglectful of their prayers,

Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds:

Their prayer at the House (of Allah) is nothing but whistling and clapping of hands: (Its only answer can be), "Taste ye the penalty because ye blasphemed."

And who (strictly) guard their prayers;-

And who (strictly) guard their prayers;-

They are those on whom (Descend) blessings from Allah, and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.

So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray!-

A votary when he (turns) to pray?

Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.

"And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.

Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."

"And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;

He used to enjoin on his people Prayer and Charity, and he was most acceptable in the sight of his Lord.

Enjoin prayer on thy people, and be constant therein. We ask thee not to provide sustenance: We provide it for thee. But the (fruit of) the Hereafter is for righteousness.

And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.

Therefore to thy Lord turn in Prayer and Sacrifice.

When thou (O Messenger) art with them, and standest to lead them in prayer, Let one party of them stand up (in prayer) with thee, Taking their arms with them: When they finish their prostrations, let them Take their position in the rear. And let the other party come up which hath not yet prayed - and let them pray with thee, Taking all precaution, and bearing arms: the Unbelievers wish, if ye were negligent of your arms and your baggage, to assault you in a single rush. But there is no blame on you if ye put away your arms because of the inconvenience of rain or because ye are ill; but take (every) precaution for yourselves. For the Unbelievers Allah hath prepared a humiliating punishment.

Who believe in the Unseen, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;

And be steadfast in prayer; practise regular charity; and bow down your heads with those who bow down (in worship).

And remember We took a covenant from the Children of Israel (to this effect): Worship none but Allah; treat with kindness your parents and kindred, and orphans and those in need; speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and practise regular charity. Then did ye turn back, except a few among you, and ye backslide (even now).

他们说：“舒阿卜啊！难道你的祈祷命令你让我们放弃我们祖先所崇拜的（偶像）并命令你教我们不要自由地支配我们的财产吗？你确是宽仁的，确是精神健全的！”

难道你不知道吗？凡是在天地间的人物和展翅的群鸟，都赞颂真主超绝的。 他的确知道各物的祈祷和赞颂，真主是全知他们的行为的。

你要从他们的财产中征收赈款，你借赈款使他们乾净，并使他们纯洁。你要为他们祈祷；你的祈祷，确是对他们的安慰。真主是全聪的，是全知的。

信士们啊！教你们的奴婢和你们中尚未成丁的儿童，三次向你们请示，晨礼之前，正午脱衣之时，宵礼之后，这是你们的三个不防备的时候。除此以外， 你们和他们无妨随便往来。真主这样为你们阐明一些迹象。真主是全知的，是至睿的。

这是我所降示的吉祥的经典，足以证实以前的天经，以便你用它去警告首邑（麦加）及其四周的居民；确信后世的人，都确信它，而且谨守拜功。

他们在拜中是恭顺的，

他们是常守拜功的；

他们是谨守拜功的。

他们是忽视拜功的,

你说：“我的礼拜，我的牺牲，我的生活，我的死亡，的确都是为真主--全世界的主。

他们在禁寺附近的礼拜，只是打呼哨和拍掌。（不信道的人啊！）你们为不信道而尝试刑罚吧。

他们是谨守拜功的；

他们是谨守拜功的；

这等人，是蒙真主的祜佑和慈恩的；这等人，确是遵循正道的。

他没有信道，也没有礼拜。

那个禁止我的仆人礼拜的人；

真主的确怜悯先知，他的天神们的确为他祝福。信士们啊！你们应当为他祝福，应当祝他平安！

然后把他投在烈火里，

（你说：）”你们可以称他为真主，也可以称他为至仁主。因为他有许多极优美的名号，你们无论用什么名号称呼他，（都是很好的）。”你在拜中不要高声朗诵，也不要低声默读，你应当寻求一条适中的道路。

要使我无论在那里都是有福的，并且嘱咐我，只要活著就要谨守拜功，完纳天课，

他以拜功和天课命令他的家属，他在他的主那里是可喜的。

你应当命令你的信徒们礼拜，你对于拜功，也应当有恒， 我不以给养责成你，我供给你。善果只归于敬畏者。

他记念他的主的尊名，而谨守拜功。

故你应当为你的主而礼拜,并宰牺牲。

当你在他们之间，而你欲带领他们礼拜的时候，教他们中的一队人同你立正，并教他们携带武器。当他们礼拜的时候，叫另一队人防守在你们后面；然后，教还没有礼拜的那一队人来同你礼拜，教他们也要谨慎戒备，并携带武器。不信道的人，希望你们忽视你们的武器和物资，而乘机袭击你们。如果你们为雨水或疾病而感觉烦难，那末，放下武器对于你们是无罪的。你们当谨慎戒备。真主确已为不信道的人而预备凌辱的刑罚。

他们确信幽玄，谨守拜功，并分舍我所给与他们的。

你们当谨守拜功，完纳天课，与鞠躬者同齐鞠躬。

当时，我与以色列的後裔缔约，说：“你们应当只崇拜真主，并当孝敬父母，和睦亲戚，怜恤孤儿，赈济贫民，对人说善言，谨守拜功，完纳天课。”然後，你们除少数人外，都违背约言，你们是常常爽约的。
