وَجَاهِدُوْا فِی اللّٰهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهٖ ؕ هُوَ اجْتَبٰىكُمْ وَمَا جَعَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِی الدِّیْنِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ ؕ مِلَّةَ اَبِیْكُمْ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ ؕ هُوَ سَمّٰىكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ ۙ۬ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَفِیْ هٰذَا لِیَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ شَهِیْدًا عَلَیْكُمْ وَتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَی النَّاسِ ۖۚ فَاَقِیْمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاعْتَصِمُوْا بِاللّٰهِ ؕ هُوَ مَوْلٰىكُمْ ۚ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰی وَنِعْمَ النَّصِیْرُ ۟۠

Saheeh International
And strive for Allāh with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. He [i.e., Allāh] named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakāh and hold fast to Allāh. He is your protector; and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
And strive in the path of Allah sincerely for His pleasure. He has selected you and made your religion a religion of kindness, in which there is no oppression and extremism. This tolerant creed is the creed of your forefather Abraham (peace be upon him). Allah has named you ‘Muslims’ in the previous books and in the Qur’ān, so that the Messenger can be a witness against you in that he conveyed the message he was commanded to convey, and so that you yourselves can be witnesses against the previous nations in that their messengers also conveyed their messages respectively. So show gratitude to Allah upon that by performing prayer as perfectly as possible, giving Zakat from your wealth, seeking refuge in Allah and relying upon Him in all your matters, for He is the best protector for those believers who seek His protection, and the best of helpers for those of them who seek His help. So seek His protection, He will protect you, and seek His help, He will help you.
