22:24 They were guided to the best of words[1] and they were guided to the praiseworthy path[2].

22:25 As for those who disbelieve and prevent people from Allah’s way and from the Sacred Mosque[1] – which We have made for all people, residents and visitors alike – and whoever intends to deviate therein[2] by evildoing, We will cause him to taste a painful punishment.

22:26 And [remember] when We showed to Abraham the site of the House [Ka‘bah], “Do not associate anything with Me, and purify My House for those who circumambulate it, and those who stand up in prayer, and those who bow and prostrate.

22:27 And proclaim the pilgrimage to all people; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel from every distant pathway,

22:28 so that they may attain benefits[1], and pronounce Allah’s name during the appointed days over the sacrificial animals[2] that He has provided for them; then eat from it and feed the desperately poor.

22:29 Then let them complete their rites, fulfill their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House [Ka‘bah].”

22:30 Such [is the pilgrimage]; whoever honors the sacred rituals of Allah, it is best for him with his Lord. All sacrificial animals have been made lawful for you except what is recited to you[1]. So shun the impurity of idolatry and shun the words of falsehood.
