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".

commentary:
opposite to the manner of the usurers who are `ungrateful
sinners', this verse portrates 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.

" 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".
