Indeed those who have faith, do righteous deeds, maintain the prayer and give the zakat, they shall have their reward near their Lord, and they will have no fear, nor will they grieve.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 277
277. "Verily, those who have faith, and do righteous works, and establish prayer, and pay the poor-rates, for them shall be their reward with their Lord, and no fear shall be upon them, nor shall they grieve".
Opposite to the manner of the usurers who are 'ungrateful sinners', this verse portraits the future of the believers, those who do righteous deeds, establish prayers, and pay the poor-rates. People are divided into four categories:
1. A group of people believe in truth and do righteous works. These are the believers.
2. There are some people who neither believe nor do righteous deeds. These are infidels.
3. Some people believe, but do not work righteously. These are the mischievous ones.
4. There are some people who have not faith but they apparently do good deeds. These are hypocrites.
Separate from usurers, who have taken apart from the Lord and human beings, there are some believers who have faith, do righteous actions, and have relevance with Allah by the way of prayer. They communicate with people through paying the poor-rates.
