Taqwa is asked above all of the believers, and more rarely of all mankind; calling to it was part of the prophets’ mission. These verses link it to Allah’s protection and support, say that the God-conscious are His beloved and His allies and that He is with them, and promise them a fine reward in the Hereafter, set against the severe punishment of those who do not fear Allah.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
Those who believe in Allāh and the Last Day would not ask permission of you to be excused from striving [i.e., fighting] with their wealth and their lives. And Allāh is Knowing of those who fear Him.
And when the believers saw the companies, they said, "This is what Allāh and His Messenger had promised us, and Allāh and His Messenger spoke the truth." And it increased them only in faith and acceptance.
