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.
لَن يَنالَ اللَّهَ لُحومُها وَلا دِماؤُها وَلـٰكِن يَنالُهُ التَّقوىٰ مِنكُم ۚ كَذٰلِكَ سَخَّرَها لَكُم لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلىٰ ما هَداكُم ۗ وَبَشِّرِ المُحسِنينَ
Neither their flesh nor their blood reaches God, but your piety does. He tamed them to you, to extol God’s greatness for guiding you. Give good news to the doers of good.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُدافِعُ عَنِ الَّذينَ آمَنوا ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوّانٍ كَفورٍ
God defends the believers. God has no love for any ungrateful traitor.
أُذِنَ لِلَّذينَ يُقاتَلونَ بِأَنَّهُم ظُلِموا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلىٰ نَصرِهِم لَقَديرٌ
Permission is given to those who were fought against because they were wronged; indeed, God can grant them victory.
الَّذينَ أُخرِجوا مِن دِيارِهِم بِغَيرِ حَقٍّ إِلّا أَن يَقولوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ۗ وَلَولا دَفعُ اللَّهِ النّاسَ بَعضَهُم بِبَعضٍ لَهُدِّمَت صَوامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَواتٌ وَمَساجِدُ يُذكَرُ فيهَا اسمُ اللَّهِ كَثيرًا ۗ وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللَّهُ مَن يَنصُرُهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزيزٌ
Those who were unjustly evicted from their homes, simply for saying, “Our Lord is God.” Had God not repelled some people by means of others, numerous monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, where God’s name is frequently invoked, would’ve been demolished. God will support those who support His cause. God is Powerful and Mighty.
الَّذينَ إِن مَكَّنّاهُم فِي الأَرضِ أَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكاةَ وَأَمَروا بِالمَعروفِ وَنَهَوا عَنِ المُنكَرِ ۗ وَلِلَّهِ عاقِبَةُ الأُمورِ
Those who, when We empower them on earth, establish prayer, give charity, promote what’s right, and forbid what’s wrong. The final decision in all matters belongs to God.
وَإِن يُكَذِّبوكَ فَقَد كَذَّبَت قَبلَهُم قَومُ نوحٍ وَعادٌ وَثَمودُ
If they reject you, so before them, the people of Noah and Aad and Thamud had rejected.
