| 31. Devoting all your worship and obedience to ALLAH, not associating anything with HIM. And whoso associate anything with ALLAH, falls, as it were, from a height, and the birds snatch him away or the wind blows him away to a far off-place. 32. The truth is that whoso honours the sacred Signs of ALLAH - that, indeed, proceeds from the righteousness of hearts. 33. In these offerings are benefits for you for an appointed term, then their place of sacrifice is at the Ancient House. 34. And for every people WE have appointed rites of Sacrifice, that they might mention the name of ALLAH over the quadrupeds of the class of cattle that HE has provided for them. So your God is One God, therefore, submit ye all to HIM. And give thou glad tidings to the humble, 35. Whose hearts are filled with awe when the name of ALLAH is mentioned, and who patiently endure whatever befalls them, and who observe Prayer and spend out of what WE have bestowed upon them. 36. And among the sacred Signs of ALLAH WE have appointed for you the sacrificial camels. In them there is much good for you. So mention the name of ALLAH over them as they stand tied up in rows. And when they fall down dead on their sides, eat thereof and feed him who is needy but contented and him also who supplicates. Thus have WE subjected them to you, that you may be grateful. 37. Their flesh reaches not ALLAH, nor does their blood, but it is your righteousness that reaches HIM. Thus HE has subjected them to you, that you may glorify ALLAH for HIS guiding you. And give glad tidings to those who do good. 38. Surely, ALLAH defends those who believe. Surely, ALLAH loves not anyone who is perfidious, ungrateful. |
