وَءَاتَى اُلْمَالَ عَلَى حُبِّهِى ذَوِى اُلْقُرْبَى = "Wa A~tal-Ma~la 'A-la~ Hub-bi Hi~ DZa-wil-Qurr-ba~",  "Wa" = and, "A~ta~" = to do away, to use up, to give, "al-Ma~la~" = the wealth, property, money, " 'A-la~" = on, "Hub-bi" = love, "Hi~" = he, "DZa-wi~ al-Qurr-ba~" = relatives,
وَاُلْيَتَمَى وَاُلْمَسَكِينَ وَاُبْنَ اُلسَّبِيلِ وَاُلسَّآئِلِينَ وَفِى اُلرِّقَابِ = "Wal-Ya-ta~ma~ Wal-Ma-sa~ki~na Wab-nas-Sa-bi~li Was-Sa~~i-li~na Wa Fir-Ri-qo~bi",  "Wa" = and, "al-Ya-ta~ma~" = the orphans, "Wa" = and, "al-Ma-sa~ki~na" = the poor, "Wa" = and, "Ib-na as-Sa-bi~li" = wayfarer, "Wa" = and, "as-Sa~~i-li~na" = those who ask, beg/beggars, "Wa" = and, "Fi~" = in, "ar-Ri-qo~bi" = slave, (Fi~ ar-Ri-qo~bi = to free a slave)

وَأَقَامَ اُلصَّلَوةَ وَءَاتَى اُلزَّكَوةَ وَاُلْمُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِهِمْ إِذَا عَهَدُواْ = "Wa A-qo~mush-SHo-la~ta Wa A~taz-Za-ka~ta Wal-Mu~fu~na Bi 'Ah-di Him I-dza~ 'A~ha-du~".  "Wa" = and, "A-qo~ma" = to stand up, to establish, to perform, "ash-SHo-la~ta" = the Solat/prayer ritual, "Wa" = and, "A~ta~" = to hand out, to pay, "az-Za-ka~ta" = the Zakat/poor-dues, "Wa" = and, "al-Mu~fu~na" = the fulfilment, "Bi" = of, " 'Ah-di" = a promise, "Him" = their, "I-dza~" = when, " 'A~ha-du~" = to make a contract, a promise.

( The good deed is also (vi) to give away your dear wealth, money to (a) you relatives, includes your next of kins who are not well-off and those who related to you. In a Hadith, the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Sadaqoh"/to give alms/donation to the poor will earn you one reward. Giving donation to a relative will earn you twice, a reward for the donation and another is for "Shilatur-Rohim"/connecting ties of uterine friendship. These (2 people) require your attention and your help the most.", (b) the orphans who have no one to take care of them, and are being left by their fathers when they were young, weak and were not of age to earn a living, (c) the poor who are unable to earn enough money for their daily food, clothings and places to stay. They should be given alms so that they can overcome their insufficiencies, (d) the wayfarer who is on a journey and had his/her money and, or his/her provisions exhausted. He/She needs money to continue with the journey or to return home. Such person should be given donation so that he/she can continue to carry on with the journey or he/she can go home, (e) those who ask for donation, charity, and the beggers. Imam Ahmad narrated from Fatimah binti Husain, from her father (Abdur-Rahman Husain bin Ali) that the Prophet s.a.w. said, "Those who ask (for money) do have their rights (that their request be fulfiled) even if they come on horse backs". (narrated by Ahmad and Abu Daud), (f) to free a slave, that a slave who has an agreement to redeem himself/herself but does have the money. He/She should be helped by paying the redemption on his/her behalf.
(vii) to establish/perform the Solat/prayer ritual (to be continued).
