| And thus, We made you a just nation (middle way) so, you will be witnesses over the people | وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِّتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ | |
| and the Messenger will be a witness over you | وَيَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيْدًا | |
| and not did We make the direction of prayer which you were on | وَمَا جَعَلْنَا القِبْلَةَ الَّتِي كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَآ | |
| except to make evident who follows the Messenger from who turns back on his heels | إِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُ الرَّسُوْلَ مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ | |
| and indeed, it is difficult except for who Allah (SWT) guided | وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَبِيْرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ هَدَى اللهُ | |
| and not will Allah (SWT) let your faith go to waste | وَمَا كَانَ اللهُ لِيُضِيْعَ إِيْمَانَكُمْ | |
| 2-143 | truly Allah (SWT) is to the people Kind and Merciful | إِنَّ اللهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ |
| and perform the pilgrimage and minor pilgrimage for Allah (SWT) | وَأَتِمُّوا الحَجَّ وَالعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ | |
| but if you are held back then what can be obtained with ease of a sacrificial animal | فَإِنْ أُحْصِرْتُمْ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الهَدْيِ | |
| and do not shave your heads until the sacrifice reaches its destination | وَلَا تَحْلِقُوْا رُءُوْسَكُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ الهَدْيُ مَحِلَّهُ | |
| and whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment of his head | فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيْضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِّنْ رَّاسِهِ | |
| then compensate by fasting or charity or a sacrificial offering | فَفِدْيَةٌ مِّنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ | |
| then when you are safe then whoever performs the minor pilgrimage followed by Hajj | فَإِذَآ أَمِنْتُمْ فَمَنْ تَمَتَّعَ بِالعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الحَجَّ | |
| then what can be obtained with ease of a sacrificial animal | فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الهَدْيِ | |
| and who cannot find then a fast of three days during Hajj | فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةٍ أَيَّامٍ فِى الحَجِّ | |
| and seven days when you returned (home) that is ten (days) in all | وَسَبْعَةٍ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ تِلْكَ عَشْرَةٌ كَامِلَةٌ | |
| This is for him whose family is not present at the Sacred Mosque | ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ لَّمْ يَكُنْ أَهْلُهُ حَاضِرِى المَسْجِدِ الحَرَامِ | |
| 2-196 | and be mindful of Allah (SWT) and know that Allah (SWT) is severe in retribution | وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللهَ شَدِيْدُ العِقَابِ |
| Ask the children of Israel how many a clear sign We gave them | سَلْ بَنِى إِسْرَآئِيْلَ كَمْ ءَاتَيْنَاهُمْ مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ بَيِّنَةٍ | |
| and whoever changes the favor of Allah (SWT) after it came to them | وَمَنْ يُبَدِّلُ نِعْمَةَ اللهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُ | |
| 2-211 | then surely Allah (SWT) is severe in responding | فَإِنَّ اللهَ شَدِيْدُ العِقَابِ |
