۞ وَلَقَدْ اَخَذَ اللّٰهُ مِيْثَاقَ بَنِيْٓ اِسْرَاۤءِيْلَۚ وَبَعَثْنَا مِنْهُمُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ نَقِيْبًاۗ وَقَالَ اللّٰهُ اِنِّيْ مَعَكُمْ ۗ لَىِٕنْ اَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَيْتُمُ الزَّكٰوةَ وَاٰمَنْتُمْ بِرُسُلِيْ وَعَزَّرْتُمُوْهُمْ وَاَقْرَضْتُمُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا لَّاُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّاٰتِكُمْ وَلَاُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُۚ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَاۤءَ السَّبِيْلِ
Dan sungguh, Allah telah mengambil perjanjian dari Bani Israil dan Kami telah mengangkat dua belas orang pemimpin di antara mereka. Dan Allah berfirman, “Aku bersamamu.” Sungguh, jika kamu melaksanakan salat dan menunaikan zakat serta beriman kepada rasul-rasul-Ku dan kamu bantu mereka dan kamu pinjamkan kepada Allah pinjaman yang baik, pasti akan Aku hapus kesalahan-kesalahanmu, dan pasti akan Aku masukkan ke dalam surga yang mengalir di bawahnya sungai-sungai. Tetapi barangsiapa kafir di antaramu setelah itu, maka sesungguhnya dia telah tersesat dari jalan yang lurus.”

(QS. Al-Ma'idah ayat 12)
