Read Surah Al-Hajj

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

حُنَفَآءَ لِلّٰهِ غَیْرَ مُشْرِكِیْنَ بِهٖ ؕ وَ مَنْ یُّشْرِكْ بِاللّٰهِ فَكَاَنَّمَا خَرَّ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ فَتَخْطَفُهُ الطَّیْرُ اَوْ تَهْوِیْ بِهِ الرِّیْحُ فِیْ مَكَانٍ سَحِیْقٍ۝۳۱

Turn uprightly to God without ascribing compeers to Him; for he who associates any one with God is like a thing that falls from the sky and is either snatched away by birds or carried far away by the wind.

ذٰلِكَ ۗ وَ مَنْ یُّعَظِّمْ شَعَآىِٕرَ اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّهَا مِنْ تَقْوَی الْقُلُوْبِ۝۳۲

All this, and honouring the offerings to God, comes from purity of heart.

لَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَنَافِعُ اِلٰۤی اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّی ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَاۤ اِلَی الْبَیْتِ الْعَتِیْقِ۠۝۳۳

, There are advantages for you in these (cattle) up to a time, then their place is the ancient House for sacrifice.

وَ لِكُلِّ اُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنْسَكًا لِّیَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلٰی مَا رَزَقَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَهِیْمَةِ الْاَنْعَامِ ؕ فَاِلٰهُكُمْ اِلٰهٌ وَّاحِدٌ فَلَهٗۤ اَسْلِمُوْا ؕ وَ بَشِّرِ الْمُخْبِتِیْنَۙ۝۳۴

For every community We have ordained certain rites that they may commemorate the name of God by reading it over the cattle We have given them for sacrifice. Your God is one God, so be obedient to Him. Give good tidings to those who bow in obedience to God,

الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَ جِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ عَلٰی مَاۤ اَصَابَهُمْ وَ الْمُقِیْمِی الصَّلٰوةِ ۙ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ۝۳۵

Whose hearts are filled with awe when the name of God is mentioned before them, who endure with fortitude what befalls them, and fulfil their moral obligations, and expend of what We have given them.

وَ الْبُدْنَ جَعَلْنٰهَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ شَعَآىِٕرِ اللّٰهِ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا خَیْرٌ ۖۗ فَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهَا صَوَآفَّ ۚ فَاِذَا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوْبُهَا فَكُلُوْا مِنْهَا وَ اَطْعِمُوا الْقَانِعَ وَ الْمُعْتَرَّ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ سَخَّرْنٰهَا لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ۝۳۶

We have made the camels signs of God for you. There is good for you in this. So pronounce the name of God over them as they stand with their forefeet in a line. When they have fallen (slaughtered) on their sides, eat of (their meat) and feed those who are content with little, and those who supplicate. That is why We have brought them under your subjugation so that you may be grateful.

لَنْ یَّنَالَ اللّٰهَ لُحُوْمُهَا وَ لَا دِمَآؤُهَا وَ لٰكِنْ یَّنَالُهُ التَّقْوٰی مِنْكُمْ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللّٰهَ عَلٰی مَا هَدٰىكُمْ ؕ وَ بَشِّرِ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ۝۳۷

It is not their meat or blood that reaches God: It is the fealty of your heart that reaches him. That is why He has subjugated them to you that you may glorify God for having shown you the way. So give glad tidings to those who are doers of good.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُدٰفِعُ عَنِ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُوْرٍ۠۝۳۸

God will certainly defend the believers. Surely God does not like the traitors who deny the truth.

اُذِنَ لِلَّذِیْنَ یُقٰتَلُوْنَ بِاَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوْا ؕ وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰی نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِیْرُۙ۝۳۹

Permission is granted those (to take up arms) who fight because they were oppressed. God is certainly able to give help to those

ِ۟الَّذِیْنَ اُخْرِجُوْا مِنْ دِیَارِهِمْ بِغَیْرِ حَقٍّ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّقُوْلُوْا رَبُّنَا اللّٰهُ ؕ وَ لَوْ لَا دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَ بِیَعٌ وَّ صَلَوٰتٌ وَّ مَسٰجِدُ یُذْكَرُ فِیْهَا اسْمُ اللّٰهِ كَثِیْرًا ؕ وَ لَیَنْصُرَنَّ اللّٰهُ مَنْ یَّنْصُرُهٗ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَقَوِیٌّ عَزِیْزٌ۝۴۰

Who were driven away from their homes for no other reason than they said: "Our Lord is God." And if God had not restrained some men through some others, monastries, churches, synagogues and mosques, where the name of God is honoured most, would have been razed. God will surely help those who help Him, -- verily God is all-powerful and all-mighty, --
