Those who do wish for the (things of) the Hereafter, and strive therefore with all due striving, and have Faith - They are the ones whose striving is acceptable (to Allah)[Qur'an 17:19]

Narrated Ibn Abbas(RA): I (in my boyhood) went out with the Prophet(PBUH) on the day of 'Id ul fitr or Id-ul-Adha. The Prophet prayed and then delivered the Khutba and then went towards the women, preached and advised them and ordered them to give alms.
