of successful people in the Holy Quran: From verse 1 to 4 of Surah Al-Mu`minoon, part 18, Allah Almighty has stated:

قَدْ اَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَۙ(۱) الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ فِیْ صَلَاتِهِمْ خٰشِعُوْنَۙ(۲) وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُوْنَۙ(۳) وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ لِلزَّكٰوةِ فٰعِلُوْنَۙ(۴)

Certainly, the believers have succeeded: those who are deeply humble in prayers; those who refrain from futile activities; those who pay the zakat;^[1]

5. Allah helps the one who gives Zakat

The fifth virtue: Allah Almighty helps the one who pays Zakat. In verses 40 and 41 of Surah Al-Hajj, part 17, it is stated:

وَ لَیَنْصُرَنَّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ یَّنْصُرُهٗؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَقَوِیٌّ عَزِیْزٌ(۴۰) اَلَّذِیْنَ اِنْ مَّكَّنّٰهُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ وَ اَمَرُوْا بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَ نَهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِؕ-وَ لِلّٰهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْاُمُوْرِ(۴۱)

Allah will most definitely help those who help His religion—Allah is All-Powerful, Predominant. Those who, if We grant them authority in the earth, establish the prayer, pay zakat, encourage good, and condemn evil—and the outcome of all matters is for Allah alone.^[2]
