Verse 78

وَجَـٰهِدُوا۟ And strive فِى for ٱللَّهِ Allah حَقَّ (with the) striving due (to) Him جِهَادِهِۦ ۚ (with the) striving due (to) Him هُوَ He ٱجْتَبَىٰكُمْ (has) chosen you وَمَا and not جَعَلَ placed عَلَيْكُمْ upon you فِى in ٱلدِّينِ the religion مِنْ any حَرَجٍۢ ۚ difficulty مِّلَّةَ (The) religion أَبِيكُمْ (of) your father إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ۚ Ibrahim هُوَ He سَمَّىٰكُمُ named you ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ Muslims مِن before قَبْلُ before وَفِى and in هَـٰذَا this لِيَكُونَ that may be ٱلرَّسُولُ the Messenger شَهِيدًا a witness عَلَيْكُمْ over you وَتَكُونُوا۟ and you may be شُهَدَآءَ witnesses عَلَى on ٱلنَّاسِ ۚ the mankind فَأَقِيمُوا۟ So establish ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ the prayer وَءَاتُوا۟ and give ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ zakah وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ and hold fast بِٱللَّهِ to Allah هُوَ He مَوْلَىٰكُمْ ۖ (is) your Protector فَنِعْمَ so an Excellent ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ [the] Protector وَنِعْمَ and an Excellent ٱلنَّصِيرُ [the] Helper ٧٨

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.
