'Allah repels [corruption] from those of our followers who do not pray, with those of our followers who do pray, and if they were to all agree to not pray, they would be destroyed. And verily Allah repels [chastisement] from those of our followers who do not pay the alms-tax with those of our followers who do pay the alms-tax. And this is the purport of Allah's verse in the Qur?an: Were it not for Allah's repelling the people by means of one another, the earth would surely have been corrupted.?
