وَإِذ بَوَّأنا لِإِبراهيمَ مَكانَ البَيتِ أَن لا تُشرِك بي شَيئًا وَطَهِّر بَيتِيَ لِلطّائِفينَ وَالقائِمينَ وَالرُّكَّعِ السُّجودِ

We showed Abraham the site of the House: “Don’t associate anything with Me, and purify My House for those who circumambulate it, stand in prayer, bow down, and prostrate.”

وَأَذِّن فِي النّاسِ بِالحَجِّ يَأتوكَ رِجالًا وَعَلىٰ كُلِّ ضامِرٍ يَأتينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَميقٍ

Announce the pilgrimage to humanity. They will come to you on foot and every mode of transport, coming from every distant pass.

لِيَشهَدوا مَنافِعَ لَهُم وَيَذكُرُوا اسمَ اللَّهِ في أَيّامٍ مَعلوماتٍ عَلىٰ ما رَزَقَهُم مِن بَهيمَةِ الأَنعامِ ۖ فَكُلوا مِنها وَأَطعِمُوا البائِسَ الفَقيرَ

To witness benefits, and to commemorate God’s name during the known days, for providing them with livestock. So, eat from them and feed the destitute poor.

ثُمَّ ليَقضوا تَفَثَهُم وَليوفوا نُذورَهُم وَليَطَّوَّفوا بِالبَيتِ العَتيقِ

Then, let them complete their rites, fulfill their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House.

ذٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّم حُرُماتِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيرٌ لَهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ ۗ وَأُحِلَّت لَكُمُ الأَنعامُ إِلّا ما يُتلىٰ عَلَيكُم ۖ فَاجتَنِبُوا الرِّجسَ مِنَ الأَوثانِ وَاجتَنِبوا قَولَ الزّورِ

That is the command. Whoever respects the sanctities of God, it’s best for him with his Lord. Livestock is permissible for you, except for those explicitly prohibited. Shun the filth of idols, and avoid false speech.

ذٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّم شَعائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّها مِن تَقوَى القُلوبِ

So it is. Whoever venerates God’s symbols is from the purity of the hearts.

لَكُم فيها مَنافِعُ إِلىٰ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ثُمَّ مَحِلُّها إِلَى البَيتِ العَتيقِ

There are benefits for you in them for a specified term; their final destination is the Ancient House.

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلنا مَنسَكًا لِيَذكُرُوا اسمَ اللَّهِ عَلىٰ ما رَزَقَهُم مِن بَهيمَةِ الأَنعامِ ۗ فَإِلـٰهُكُم إِلـٰهٌ واحِدٌ فَلَهُ أَسلِموا ۗ وَبَشِّرِ المُخبِتينَ

We instituted a rite for every community so they may mention God’s name over the livestock He provided for them. Your God is One God, so surrender to Him, and give good news to the humble.

الَّذينَ إِذا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَت قُلوبُهُم وَالصّابِرينَ عَلىٰ ما أَصابَهُم وَالمُقيمِي الصَّلاةِ وَمِمّا رَزَقناهُم يُنفِقونَ

Those whose hearts tremble at the mention of God, those who persevere in patience in whatever afflicts them, who establish prayer, and who spend out of what We’ve provided them.

وَالبُدنَ جَعَلناها لَكُم مِن شَعائِرِ اللَّهِ لَكُم فيها خَيرٌ ۖ فَاذكُرُوا اسمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيها صَوافَّ ۖ فَإِذا وَجَبَت جُنوبُها فَكُلوا مِنها وَأَطعِمُوا القانِعَ وَالمُعتَرَّ ۚ كَذٰلِكَ سَخَّرناها لَكُم لَعَلَّكُم تَشكُرونَ

We designated the sacrificial animals among God’s symbols for you. They hold benefits for you. When they are lined up, pronounce God’s name over them. Once they have fallen on their sides, eat from them and feed those in need, whether they ask or not. Thus, We tamed them to you, so you may give thanks.
