Muhammad Khayr Ramadan Yusuf

Surat Al Baqarah (82-83)
{ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّالِحَاتِ أُولَـئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ } [البقرة: 82]
82- Those who believe in Allah and in His Messenger, and do good deeds, do righteous deeds in accordance with the Shari`ah and solely for Allah, they will be of the people of Paradise who shall live there forever.

{ وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لاَ تَعْبُدُونَ إِلاَّ اللّهَ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَاناً وَذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَقُولُواْ لِلنَّاسِ حُسْناً وَأَقِيمُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتُواْ الزَّكَاةَ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً مِّنكُمْ وَأَنتُم مِّعْرِضُونَ } [البقرة: 83]
83- O Children of Israel, remember what we have commanded you and for that We have taken a covenant from you. The covenant stated: Worship Allah and do not associate partners with Him. Allah commanded all His Servants to abide by this covenant which was His Due Right upon them. People should treat their parents kindly and obey them in good actions; this is their due rights. People have to be kind to their relatives, the orphans, and the needy who cannot find anything to support their families and themselves. You should say good words and nice speech in a good method, specially, when enjoining good and forbidding evil. You have to establish Salah for your Lord and give Zakah to its entitled people, but you have turned away from all these commands and denied them except for a few.
