Ibrâhîm (Abraham). -8

S.22 26. And (remember) when We showed Ibrâhîm (Abraham) the site of the (Sacred) House (the Ka‘bah at Makkah) (saying): "Associate not anything (in worship) with Me, [Lâ ilâha illallâh (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);"27. 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 ).[1]28. 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 having a hard time.29. Then let them complete their prescribed duties (Manâsik of Hajj) and perform their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House (the Ka‘bah at Makkah).[2]30. That (Manâsik- prescribed duties of Hajj is the obligation that mankind owes to Allâh), and whoever honours 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)[3] -31. Hunafâ’ Lillâh (i.e. worshiping none but Allâh), not associating partners (in worship) unto Him; and whoever assigns partners to Allâh, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown him 78. And strive hard in Allâh’s Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islâmic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion of Islâm), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship:[1] it is the religion of your father Ibrâhîm (Abraham) (Islâmic Monotheism). It is He (Allâh) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Qur’ân), that the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind![2] So perform As-Salât (Iqamat-as-Salât), give Zakât and hold fast to Allâh [i.e. have confidence in Allâh, and depend upon Him in all your affairs]. He is your Maulâ (Patron, Lord), what an Excellent Maulâ (Patron, Lord) and what an Excellent Helper!s.2669. And recite to them the story of Ibrâhîm (Abraham).70. When he said to his father and his people: "What do you worship?"71. They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted."72. He said: "Do they hear you, when you call on (them)?73. "Or do they benefit you or do they harm (you)?"74. They said: "(Nay) but we found our fathers doing so."75. He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping -76. "You and your ancient fathers?77. "Verily they are enemies to me, save the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists),78. "Who has created me, and it is He Who guides me.79. "And it is He Who feeds me and gives me to drink.80. "And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.81. "And Who will cause me to die, and then will bring me to life (again).82. "And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense, (the Day of Resurrection).83. My Lord! Bestow Hukm (religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) on me, and join me with the righteous.84. And grant me an honourable mention in later generations.85. And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise of Delight.86. And forgive my father, verily he is of the erring.87. And disgrace me not on the Day when (all the creatures) will be resurrected.88. The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,89. Except him who brings to Allâh a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifâq (hypocrisy)]."90. And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2).91. And the (Hell) Fire will be placed in full view of the erring.92. And it will be said to them: "Where are those (the false gods whom you used to set up as rivals with Allâh) that you used to worship.93. "Instead of Allâh? Can they help you or (even) help themselves?"94. Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), they and the Ghâwûn (devils, and those who were in error).95. And the whole hosts of Iblîs (Satan) together.96. They will say while contending therein,97. By Allâh, we were truly in a manifest error,98. When We held you (false gods) as equals (in worship) with the Lord of the ‘Âlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists);99. And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimûn [Iblîs (Satan) and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists, oppressors].100. Now we have no intercessors,101. Nor a close friend (to help us).102. (Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly be among the believers!103. Verily in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.104. And verily, your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most M
