The Holy Quran 20:132 — Surah Taha

Arabic text

وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا ۖ لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًا ۖ نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ ۗ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ

Translation

Instruct (encourage) your family to perform salaah and (you) yourself (must) remain steadfast on it. We do not ask provision (sustenance) from you, but We provide for you (your duty is to perform your salaah and not to forsake it in search of sustenance because We shall provide it for you). The best (most excellent) result (reward in the Aakhirah) is for (adopting) Taqwa.
