Surah Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage), Verse 78

وَجَاهِدُوْا فِی اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهٖ هُوَ اجْتَبٰىكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِی الدِّیْنِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ مِلَّةَ اَبِیْكُمْ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ هُوَ سَمّٰىكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَفِیْ هٰذَا لِیَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ شَهِیْدًا عَلَیْكُمْ وَتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَی النَّاسِ فَاَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاعْتَصِمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ هُوَ مَوْلٰىكُمْ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰی وَنِعْمَ النَّصِیْرُ 

Wa jaahidoo fil laahi haqqa jihaadih; Huwaj tabaakum wa maa ja'ala 'alaikum fid deeni min haraj; Millata abeekum Ibraaheem; Huwa sammaakumul muslimeena min qablu wa fee haaza li yakoonar Rasoolu shaheedan 'alaikum wa takoonoo shuhadaaa'a 'alan naas; fa aqeemus salaata wa aatuz zakaata wa'tasimoo billaahi Huwa mawlaakum fani'mal mawlaa wa ni'man naseer

And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah! He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help!
