Prayer carries us half way to God, fasting brings us to the door of His palace, and alms-giving procures us admission.

God helps those who persevere.

He who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward from God; for he loveth not the unjust doers. -Koran.

God is with those who persevere.

God loveth the clean.

In faith and hope the world will disagree, but all mankind's concern is charity. .
