And they had been guided [in worldly life] to good speech, and they were guided to the path of the Praiseworthy.

Indeed, those who have disbelieved and avert [people] from the way of Allāh and [from] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, which We made for the people - equal are the resident therein and one from outside - and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein¹ of deviation [in religion] by wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when We designated for Abraham the site of the House, [saying], "Do not associate anything with Me and purify My House for those who perform ṭawāf¹ and those who stand [in prayer] and those who bow and prostrate.

And proclaim to the people the ḥajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass -

That they may witness [i.e., attend] benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allāh on known [i.e., specific] days over what He has provided for them of [sacrificial] animals.¹ So eat of them and feed the miserable and poor.

Then let them end their untidiness and fulfill their vows and perform ṭawāf around the ancient House."

That [has been commanded], and whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allāh - it is best for him in the sight of his Lord. And permitted to you are the grazing livestock, except what is recited to you.¹ So avoid the uncleanliness of idols and avoid false statement,
