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.

حُنَفاءَ لِلَّهِ غَيرَ مُشرِكينَ بِهِ ۚ وَمَن يُشرِك بِاللَّهِ فَكَأَنَّما خَرَّ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَتَخطَفُهُ الطَّيرُ أَو تَهوي بِهِ الرّيحُ في مَكانٍ سَحيقٍ

Being devoted to God, not associating anything with Him. Whoever associates partners with God, it is as though he has fallen from the sky and is either snatched by birds or carried away by the wind to a distant place.

ذٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّم شَعائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّها مِن تَقوَى القُلوبِ

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

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.
