Please order us to do something (religiousdeeds) which we may carry out and also invite to it our people whom we have left behind." TheProphet said, "I order you to do four things and forbid you four others: (I order you) to have faith inAllah, and confess that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, (and the Prophet (ﷺ) gestured withhis hand like this (i.e. one knot) and to offer prayers perfectly and to pay the Zakat, and to pay onefifthof the booty in Allah's Cause.
