   وَأَنَا آمُرُكُمْ بِخَمْسٍ أَمَرَنِي اللهُ بِهِنَّ: الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَالسَّمْعِ، وَالطَّاعَةِ، وَالْهِجْرَةِ، وَالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَمَنْ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ قِيدَ شِبْرٍ خُلِعَ الْإِسْلَامُ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَرْجِعَ، وَمَنْ دَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ جُثَى جَهَنَّمَ، قِيلَ: وَإِنْ صَامَ وَصَلَّى ؟ قَالَ: وَإِنْ صَلَّى وَصَامَ، فَادْعُوا بِدَعْوَى اللهِ الَّذِي سَمَّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عِبَادَ اللهِ.

   ✧ And I command you with five things that God has commanded me: the congregation, hearing, obedience, emigration, and jihad in the path of God. Whoever separates from the congregation by a handspan has Islam removed from his head, unless he returns. And whoever calls with the call of ignorance, he is of the fuel of Hell. It was said: Even if he fasts and prays? He said: Even if he prays and fasts. So call with the call of God who named you Muslims, believers, servants of God.
