Soorah
al Baqarah [2:125-127]
And (remember) when We made the House (the Ka'bah at
Makkah) a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety. And take you
(people) the Maqâm (place) of Ibrâhim (Abraham) (or the stone on which Ibrâhim
(Abraham) stood while he was building the Ka'bah) as a place of prayer (for
some of your prayers, e.g. two Rak'at after the Tawâf of the Ka'bah at Makkah),
and We commanded Ibrâhim (Abraham) and Ismâ'il (Ishmael) that they should
purify My House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) for those who are circumambulating it,
or staying (I'tikâf), or bowing or prostrating themselves (there, in prayer).
And (remember) when Ibrâhim (Abraham) said, "My Lord,
make this city (Makkah) a place of security and provide its people with fruits,
such of them as believe in Allâh and the Last Day." He (Allâh) answered:
"As for him who disbelieves, I shall leave him in contentment for a while,
then I shall compel him to the torment of the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination!"
And (remember) when Ibrâhim (Abraham) and (his son) Ismâ'il
(Ishmael) were raising the foundations of the House (the Ka'bah at Makkah),
(saying), "Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the
All-Hearer, the All-Knower."
[2:149-150]
And from wheresoever
you start forth (for prayers), turn your face in the direction of
Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah), that is indeed the truth from your Lord. And
Allâh is not unaware of what you do.
[2:158]
Verily! As-Safâ and
Al-Marwah (two mountains in Makkah) are of the Symbols of Allâh. So it is not a
sin on him who performs Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage) of the House (the Ka'bah at
Makkah) to perform the going (Tawâf) between them (As-Safâ and Al-Marwah). And
whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, Allâh is All-Recogniser,
All-Knower.
[14:37]
"O our Lord! I
have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your
Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah) in order, O our Lord, that they may perform
As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât). So fill some hearts among men with love towards
them, and (O Allâh) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks.
[22:26]
And (remember) when We
showed Ibrâhim (Abraham) the site of the (Sacred) House (the Ka'bah at Makkah)
(saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me, (Lâ ilâha illâllâh
(none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) - Islâmic Monotheism), and
sanctify My House for those who circumambulate it, and those who stand up (for
prayer), and those who bow (submit themselves with humility and obedience to
Allâh), and make prostration (in prayer);"
[106:3]
So let them worship
(Allâh) the Lord of this House (the Ka'bah in Makkah).
[2:128]
Our Lord! And make us
submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show
us our Manâsik (all the ceremonies of pilgrimage - Hajj and 'Umrah), and accept
our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most
Merciful.
[2:196-198]
And perform properly
(i.e. all the ceremonies according to the ways of Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him)) the Hajj and 'Umrah (i.e. the pilgrimage to Makkah) for Allâh. But
if you are prevented (from completing them), sacrifice a Hady (animal, i.e. a
sheep, a cow, or a camel) such as you can afford, and do not shave your heads
until the Hady reaches the place of sacrifice. And whosoever of you is ill or
has an ailment in his scalp (necessitating shaving), he must pay a Fidyah
(ransom) of either observing Saum (fasts) (three days) or giving Sadaqah
(charity - feeding six poor persons) or offering sacrifice (one sheep). Then if
you are in safety and whosoever performs the 'Umrah in the months of Hajj,
before (performing) the Hajj, (i.e. Hajj-at-Tamattu' and Al-Qirân), he must
slaughter a Hady such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, he should
observe Saum (fasts) three days during the Hajj and seven days after his return
(to his home), making ten days in all. This is for him whose family is not
present at Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (i.e. non-resident of Makkah). And fear Allâh
much and know that Allâh is Severe in punishment.
The Hajj (pilgrimage)
is (in) the well-known (lunar year) months (i.e. the 10th month, the 11th month
and the first ten days of the 12th month of the Islâmic calendar, i.e. two
months and ten days). So whosoever intends to perform Hajj therein (by assuming
Ihrâm), then he should not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commit
sin, nor dispute unjustly during the Hajj. And whatever good you do, (be sure)
Allâh knows it. And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best
provision is At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness). So fear Me, O men of
understanding!
There is no sin on you
if you seek the Bounty of your Lord (during pilgrimage by trading). Then when
you leave 'Arafât, remember Allâh (by glorifying His Praises, i.e. prayers and
invocations) at the Mash'ar-il-Harâm. And remember Him (by invoking Allâh for
all good.) as He has guided you, and verily, you were, before, of those who
were astray.
[2:203]
And remember Allâh
during the appointed Days. But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is
no sin on him and whosoever stays on, there is no sin on him, if his aim is to
do good and obey Allâh (fear Him), and know that you will surely be gathered
unto Him.
[3:97]
In it are manifest
signs (for example), the Maqâm (place) of Ibrâhim (Abraham); whosoever enters
it, he attains security. And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah)
is a duty that mankind owes to Allâh, those who can afford the expenses (for
one's conveyance, provision and residence); and whoever disbelieves (i.e.
denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allâh), then
Allâh stands not in need of any of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that
exists).
[5:1]
O you who believe!
Fulfill (your) obligations. Lawful to you (for food) are all the beasts of
cattle except that which will be announced to you (herein), game (also) being
unlawful when you assume Ihrâm for Hajj or 'Umrah (pilgrimage). Verily, Allâh
commands that which He wills.
[5:2]
O you who believe!
Violate not the sanctity of the Symbols of Allâh, nor of the Sacred Month, nor
of the animals brought for sacrifice, nor the garlanded people or animals, and
others nor the people coming to the Sacred House (Makkah), seeking the bounty
and good pleasure of their Lord. But when you finish the Ihrâm (of Hajj or
'Umrah), you may hunt, and let not the hatred of some people in (once) stopping
you from Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah) lead you to transgression (and
hostility on your part). Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue,
righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression.
And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment.
[5:95-97]
O you who believe! Kill
not the game while you are in a state of Ihrâm (for Hajj or 'Umrah
(pilgrimage)) and whosoever of you kills it intentionally, the penalty is an
offering, brought to the Ka'bah, of an eatable animal (i.e. sheep, goat, cow)
equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged by two just men among you; or, for
expiation, he should feed Masâkin (poor persons), or its equivalent in Saum
(fasting), that he may taste the heaviness (punishment) of his deed. Allâh has
forgiven what is past, but whosoever commits it again, Allâh will take retribution
from him. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Able of Retribution.
Lawful to you is (the
pursuit of) water-game and its use for food - for the benefit of yourselves and
those who travel, but forbidden is (the pursuit of) land-game as long as you
are in a state of Ihrâm (for Hajj or 'Umrah). And fear Allâh to Whom you shall
be gathered back.
Allâh has made the
Ka'bah, the Sacred House, an asylum of security and benefits (e.g. Hajj and
'Umrah) for mankind, and also the Sacred Month and the animals of offerings and
the garlanded (people or animals marked with the garlands on their necks made
from the outer part of the stem of the Makkah trees for their security), that
you may know that Allâh has knowledge of all that is in the heavens and all
that is in the earth, and that Allâh is the All-Knower of each and everything.
[22:25]
Verily, those who disbelieved
and hinder (men) from the Path of Allâh, and from Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at
Makkah) which We have made (open) to (all) men, the dweller in it and the
visitor from the country are equal there (as regards its sanctity and
pilgrimage (Hajj and 'Umrah)) - and whoever inclines to evil actions therein or
to do wrong (i.e. practice polytheism and leave Islâmic Monotheism), him We
shall cause to taste a painful torment.
[22:27-30]
And proclaim to mankind
the Hajj (pilgrimage). They will come to you on foot and on every lean camel,
they will come from every deep and distant (wide) mountain highway (to perform
Hajj).
That they may witness
things that are of benefit to them (i.e. reward of Hajj in the Hereafter, and
also some worldly gain from trade), and mention the Name of Allâh on appointed
days (i.e. 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th day of Dhul-Hijjah), over the beast of
cattle that He has provided for them (for sacrifice) (at the time of their
slaughtering by saying: Bismillah, Wallâhu-Akbar Allâhumma Minka wa Ilaik).
Then eat thereof and feed therewith the poor who have a very hard time.
Then let them complete
the prescribed duties (Manâsik of Hajj) and perform their vows, and
circumambulate the Ancient House (the Ka'bah at Makkah).
That (Manâsik -
prescribed duties of Hajj is the obligation that mankind owes to Allâh), and
whoever honors the sacred things of Allâh, then that is better for him with his
Lord. The cattle are lawful to you, except those (that will be) mentioned to
you (as exceptions). So shun the abomination (worshipping) of idol, and shun
lying speech (false statements) -
[63:10]
And spend (in charity)
of that with which We have provided you, before death comes to one of you and
he says: "My Lord! If only You would give me respite for a little while
(i.e. return to the worldly life), then I should give Sadaqah (i.e. Zakât) of
my wealth, and be among the righteous (i.e. perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah)
and do other good deeds.)
[85:3]
And by the Witnessing
day (i.e. Friday), and by the Witnessed day (i.e. the day of 'Arafât (Hajj) the
ninth of Dhul-Hîjjah);
