The Command for Prayer and Charity.

Surah Ibrahim/Abraham 
Chapter 14

The Command for Prayer and Charity:-

"Say (O Muhammad SAW) to 'Ibadi (My slaves) who have believed, that they should perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and spend in charity out of the sustenance We have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day on which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending." [14:31]
- Allah orders His servants to obey Him, fulfill His rights and be kind to His creatures. He ordained the prayer, which affirms the worship of Allah alone, without partners, and to spend from the provisions that He has granted them, by paying the due Zakah, spending on relatives and being kind to all others. 
- Establishing the prayer requires performing it on time, perfectly, preserving its act of bowing having humility during it, and preserving its prostrations. 
- Allah has ordained spending from what He granted, in secret and public, so that the people save themselves, "before the coming of a Day)", the Day of Resurrection, "on which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending." 
- on which no ransom will be accepted from anyone, if he seeks to buy himself. Allah said in another Ayah,
"So this Day no ransom shall be taken from you, nor of those who disbelieved." [57:15]
May Allah guide us to pray and give in charity in a manner that pleases Him. And may He make our best most amazing joyful day the day of judgement! Ameen
