And give good tidings (O Muhammad) to the humble,” (22:34) 00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:09.899 And give good tidings to the humble. 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:17.039 And for every group, there is a precedent among you from the people of faith in Allah, O people, 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.159 We have made them sacrifices whose blood they shed 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:25.110 that they may mention the name of Allah over the livestock which He has provided for them. 00:12:25.269 --> 00:12:29.590 “That (is the command). And whoso magnifieth the sacred things of Allah, it will be well for him in the sight of his Lord. The cattle are lawful unto you save that which hath been told you. So shun the filth of idols, and shun lying speech,” (22:30) 00:12:29.750 --> 00:12:33.389 For your Lord is one God, with no partner. 00:12:33.549 --> 00:12:36.029 So submit to Him in obedience. 00:12:36.110 --> 00:12:38.750 And give good tidings, O Muhammad, to those who submit to Allah, 00:12:38.909 --> 00:12:43.669 those who are obedient to Him and acknowledge His servitude. 00:12:43.830 --> 00:12:48.429 Those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned. 00:12:48.590 --> 00:12:55.950 “Whose hearts fear when Allah is mentioned, and the patient of whatever may befall them, and those who establish worship and who spend of that We have bestowed on them.” (22:35) 00:12:56.110 --> 00:13:04.620 and those who establish prayer, and from what We have provided them, they spend. 00:13:04.779 --> 00:13:07.379 And give good tidings, O Muhammad, to the humble, 00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:12.299 those whose hearts are humbled at the remembrance of Allah and submit out of His fear, 00:13:12.460 --> 00:13:17.019 and the patient in the face of hardships they encounter in Allah's cause, 00:13:17.179 --> 00:13:19.899 and those who establish the prescribed prayer, 00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:24.860 and from what We have provided them of wealth, they spend on what is obligatory upon them, 00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:29.860 in zakat, and provision for their families, and for whom provision is obligatory, 00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:33.049 and in the cause of Allah. 00:13:33.210 --> 00:13:42.169 “And the camels! We have appointed them among the ceremonies of Allah. Therein ye have much good. So mention the name of Allah over them when they are drawn up in lines. Then when their flanks fall (dead), eat thereof and feed the beggar and the suppliant. Thus have We made them subject unto you, that haply ye may give thanks.” (22:36) 00:13:42.330 --> 00:13:48.259 So mention the name of Allah over them, standing in rows. 00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:56.220 “And the camels! We have appointed them among the ceremonies of Allah. Therein ye have much good. So mention the name of Allah over them when they are drawn up in lines. Then when their flanks fall (dead), eat thereof and feed the beggar and the suppliant. Thus have We made them subject unto you, that haply ye may give thanks.” (22:36) 00:13:56.379 --> 00:14:02.980 “And the camels! We have appointed them among the ceremonies of Allah. Therein ye have much good. So mention the name of Allah over them when they are drawn up in lines. Then when their flanks fall (dead), eat thereof and feed the beggar and the suppliant. Thus have We made them subject unto you, that haply ye may give thanks.” (22:36) 00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:06.179 and the large, well-built, massive camels, 00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:10.299 We have made them for you, O people, among the symbols of Allah's command, 00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:18.179 which He commanded you in your Hajj rituals when you garland them, cover them, and mark them. 00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:20.460 For you, in the sacrificial animals, is goodness. 00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:26.340 And that goodness is the reward in the Hereafter by slaughtering them and giving them in charity. 00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:31.259 And in this world, riding them if one needs to ride them. 00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:36.259 So mention the name of Allah over the sacrificial animals when you slaughter them, standing in rows, 00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:42.299 which are those chosen and lined up before you, with one of their legs tied. 00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:49.820 And when they fall on their sides after slaughter, they become lawful for you to eat. 00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:54.860 So feed the one who asks and the one who is content with what he has and the one who is self-sufficient. 00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:58.139 Thus have We subjected the sacrificial animals to you, O people, 00:14:58.299 --> 00:15:01.460 so that you may thank Me for subjecting them to you. 00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:08.340 “Their flesh and their food reach not Allah, but the devotion from you reacheth Him. Thus have We made them subject unto you that ye may magnify Allah that He hath guided you. And give good tidings (O Muhammad) to the good.” (22:37) 00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:13.179 “Their flesh and their food reach not Allah, but the devotion from you reacheth Him. Thus have We made them subject unto you that ye may magnify Allah that He hath guided you. And give good tidings (O Muhammad) to the good.” (22:37) 00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:19.460 “Their flesh and their food reach not Allah, but the devotion from you reacheth Him. Thus have We made them subject unto you that ye may magnify Allah that He hath guided you. And give good tidings (O Muhammad) to the good.” (22:37) 00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:23.379 And give good tidings to the doers of good. 00:15:24.379 --> 00:15:28.500 The flesh of your sacrificial animals, nor their blood, will ever reach Allah. 00:15:28.659 --> 00:15:33.620 But what reaches Him is your piety, if you are pious concerning them. 00:15:33.779 --> 00:15:35.779 So you intended His face with them, 00:15:35.940 --> 00:15:41.019 and you acted in them as He guided you and commanded you regarding them, 00:15:41.179 --> 00:15:43.740 and you venerated His sacred limits. 00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:46.220 Thus have We subjected the sacrificial animals to you 00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:50.860 so that you may magnify Allah for His guidance to His religion. 00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:54.220 And give good tidings, O Muhammad, to those who obeyed Allah, 00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:59.460 and did good in their obedience to Him in this world, of Paradise in the Hereafter.
